RaidAssist

A heads-up toolkit for raiding in The Burning Crusade Classic. RaidAssist puts the things a raid leader calls out — an incoming boss ability, who is missing buffs, whose debuff is dangerous, when to interrupt, when to move — onto your screen as clean, movable frames.

Content is currently built out for The Battle for Mount Hyjal, soon for BT as well.

Features

• Encounter ability timers — while a boss fight is open (ENCOUNTER_START → ENCOUNTER_END) RaidAssist watches the boss's casts and shows a stack of active-effect and cooldown bars, plus a scrolling encounter log you can review afterwards. Every encounter and every ability is individually toggleable.
• Big centre-screen icons — the "get out now" call. Chosen abilities (Rain of Fire, Doom, Inferno, Fear, the Soul Charges, and so on) flash a large icon in the middle of the screen for the duration of the effect.
• Raid Check — on a ready check, or on command, a compact list shows who in the raid is missing flasks, food and other expected buffs.
• Special debuff tracking — a live, grouped list of raid-threatening debuffs (Doom, Mark of Kaz'rogal, Grip of the Legion, …), with the rows that matter most — e.g. a healer carrying a healing-reduction debuff — highlighted.
• "Boss is missing Mortal Strike" — warns when the boss has lost its Mortal Strike / Wound Poison style healing-reduction debuff.
• Interrupt calls — watches catalogued trash and boss casters and flashes an "INTERRUPT" banner with a sound the instant one begins the cast that needs kicking.
• Hazard warnings — "MOVE!" alerts for standing in ground effects, on trash as well as bosses.
• Low-mana list — during mana-punishing fights, an on-screen list of players below a mana threshold so you can send them to drink before the mechanic lands.
• Pre-fight reminders — a small stack of icons nagging you about prep you have not done: equip your PvP trinket before Rage Winterchill, carry Tears of the Goddess before Archimonde, loot your quest item, and so on.
• Personal counter-play prompts — when a boss ability is cast on you and your class can shrug it off, a prompt names the escape — e.g. Archimonde's Air Burst → "Vanish" for a Rogue, "Feign Death" for a Hunter.
• Mount Hyjal wave tracker — reads Blizzard's own wave counter and replaces it with a better panel: wave X / 8, enemies remaining, a per-mob "alive / total" breakdown from known spawn tables, and a 2-minute "Next wave" countdown in the timer stack. The state survives a /reload mid-run.
• Role marking — hands out raid target icons by assigned role in roster order (Star → Circle → … → Skull). In Mount Hyjal it marks the healers automatically the moment the wave before Anetheron is cleared.
• Fight simulator — replay scripted versions of several fights out of combat to see exactly what the addon will show.
