FUA

FUA is a lightweight raid utility that helps players quickly build, visualize, import, and communicate symbol assignments during raid encounters.

Instead of manually typing symbol orders into chat, FUA provides encounter-specific tools for tracking assignments, visualizing player positions, and preparing formatted messages for your group.

FUA is designed to operate within Blizzard's addon restrictions.

Assignments can be imported from supported chat messages and shared between players using standardized assignment formats. Prepared messages are loaded into the chat edit box for player review before sending (manual copy/paste).

Player-Driven Design

FUA is designed to assist communication, not automate gameplay.

The addon does not automatically send messages, solve mechanics, assign players, or make gameplay decisions. It helps players prepare information clearly while keeping the final action in the player's hands.

About the Name

FUA is the name of a line of location software I develop professionally. During progression raiding, I adapted the concept to solve a much different problem: helping players quickly communicate where they need to be during mechanics.

The acronym has since taken on a life of its own.
