3.0.0 — Standalone

ESKA Labs no longer needs any other boss mod. DBM, EXBoss and BigWigs are all optional — install ESKA Labs on its own and you get voice alerts, timer bars, debuff warnings and more for every Season 2 dungeon.

New

Detection

• Standalone boss detection via the encounter timeline: all 8 Season 2 dungeons, 28 encounters, 166 timer signatures — including ability rotations, phase handling and placeholder filtering. Pending alerts are cancelled when the boss skips or interrupts a cast.
• Standalone trash detection via nameplates (188 mobs, 340 spells) — only unambiguous casts are announced.
• Guide-curated database: every boss ability, trash spell and debuff re-checked against Wowhead, Icy Veins and Method guides. Alerts tell you the correct ACTION — defensives, soaks, spreads, dispels, kiting — with role filtering (tank busters only speak to the tank).

Voice

• Fully bilingual: UI in German and English — follows your game client automatically, manually overridable. The voice is selectable independently: all 115 alert lines plus the countdown exist as German AND English recordings.
• Voice per mechanic: every boss ability and every debuff can be reassigned to any of the 115 voice lines — searchable list, instant preview, per-spell on/off, per-mechanic countdown 5-4-3-2-1.
• "On YOU!" debuff alerts: 230 curated debuffs across all 8 dungeons, played by the game's own aura engine — works even though addons cannot read auras in combat anymore.

Display

• Own timer bars: width, height, font, texture, grow direction, emphasize below X seconds, movable anchor, test mode — and free RGB colors with separate colors for boss and trash bars.
• Trash cast bars: enemy casts get a live bar that vanishes on kick or death.
• Debuff display: icons of harmful effects on you with remaining time — movable, resizable, ignores your own self-inflicted auras.
• Kick tracker: one row per party member with class icon, class color and a cooldown timeline — see whose interrupt is ready.
• M+ teleport overlay: the season record tiles in Blizzard's Mythic+ window become clickable — click to teleport, green edge = ready. /eska port opens a floating version.

Quality of life

• Tabbed settings window — every option where you expect it.
• Spell tooltips on mouseover; real localized spell, boss and dungeon names from the game client.
• Group version check.
• Setup wizard adapts to what you have installed.

Notes

• After updating, restart the game completely (many new files) — a /reload is not enough.
