Gearpath Raid Studio

Learn the fight before it kills you

Raid mechanics are simple once you have seen them. The problem is that the first time you see them, you are usually in a raid, on a boss, with nineteen other people waiting on you.

Raid Studio gives you somewhere else to see them. It builds a 3D arena inside your game client and replays boss abilities there, one at a time, as many times as you like. No group, no lockout, no repair bill.

It uses the game's own effects

Every ability plays back with the effect the boss actually uses. Those are not approximations — they are read out of the client's own encounter and spell visual data, in the order the game plays them: the telegraph first, then the cast, then the impact, then whatever is left burning on the floor.

That ordering matters more than it sounds. Most of learning a mechanic is learning what the half-second before it looks like, and that is exactly the part a text guide cannot give you.

What is in it

• A configurable arena you can view from any angle, with familiar movement controls
• The Venomous Abyss encounter set, with every boss ability mapped to its effect sequence
• Ability data pulled straight from the Dungeon Journal, so nothing is invented or guessed
• Fully standalone — no other addon required

What is coming

Right now first boss is released. The last 7 bosses will be released in the coming week.

If something looks wrong, say so in the comments. The effect data is thorough, but a raid is the only real test.
