Explain The Fight

Tired of explaining the fight every time you run a heroic? Explain The Fight helps groups quickly understand boss mechanics without leaving the game.

When a supported dungeon, raid, or world boss is detected, the addon opens a small movable guide window with concise role-based instructions for:

Tank
DPS
Healer
Everyone

Each guide is written as a short, practical summary focused on what players should do during the fight.
