RaidLead

A focused raid-management toolkit for TBC Classic, built for raid leaders who want a fast in-game cockpit for consumable checks, raid assignments, boss tactics, polls, and loot tracking — without juggling external spreadsheets mid-pull.

Features

Buff scanner

• One-click scan of your group/raid for flasks, elixirs, food, and class raid auras
• Class-by-class grid of who's missing what, with a Missing summary sub-view
• Configurable columns via the gear button: pick exactly which raid buffs to track, and toggle a weapon-oil / sharpening-stone column (self-reported between RaidLead users)
• Addon-presence dot by each name — green = running RaidLead (current), yellow = older version, none = no addon
• Announce missing consumables / raid buffs / everything to chat in one click, or quietly whisper each player what they're missing before the pull

Marks tab — tanks, CC & interrupts per raid icon

• Assign a Tank, CC, and Interrupt per raid icon (Skull, Cross, …)
• Sticky memory: assignments are remembered per mob, so a detected mob auto-fills its usual assignees
• One-click marking — Auto-Mark visible hostiles, "Mark Next" to walk icons onto your target, or Quick-Mark everything in range
• Announce to chat or whisper each player their job, and a Clear menu (assignments, the actual raid markers, or both)

Boss tab — every TBC raid boss

• Full boss roster for Karazhan, Gruul's Lair, Magtheridon's Lair, Serpentshrine Cavern, and Tempest Keep
• Per-encounter assignment widgets for the fights that need them (Netherspite portals, Maulgar council, Magtheridon cubes, Karathress targeting, Vashj roles & cores, Al'ar platforms, Solarian, Kael'thas weapons, Void Reaver tanks/orbs, and more) — simpler fights get a clean role-assignment page automatically
• Read-only mechanics button on every boss: a scrollable, formatted breakdown of phases, key abilities, and practical raid-leader tactics — checked against authoritative TBC guides (supports multiple tactics per boss)
• One-click Auto-Mark for council/channeler fights — scans nameplates and applies raid icons to the right mobs instantly
• Assignments save per profile and sync to other RaidLead users automatically

Assign tab — heals, cooldowns, Misdirect & roster

• Healer assignments: heal-to-tank grid with cross-heal, Earth Shield, and an Auto-Assign helper
• Raid cooldowns: assign caster (and target where relevant) for major cooldowns
• Misdirect: hunter → target assignments
• Roster: every raid member grouped by declared role, with addon version at a glance

Quick Polls

• Fire a question at the raid — RaidLead users get a vote popup
• Chat voting: players without the addon can vote too, by typing the number/option in chat or whispering you privately
• Built-in presets plus your own custom questions, each single-select or multi-select
• Live tally with a per-voter breakdown (who voted for what, with chat/whisper tags), and result bars
• You control the poll — leave it open, End it when ready, Restart for another round, or set it to auto-close
• Announce the result to chat, and a clickable poll history kept privately on your client — reopen any past poll to see its bars and full voter list, or re-announce it

Loot & attendance history

• Logs every epic+ drop with timestamp, recipient, instance, and boss
• Per-run, per-player, and attendance views (who showed up, how often)
• Filterable by player or instance; persists across /reload and logout
• Mock/test data is non-destructive, and a /raidlead restorehistory command recovers a wiped history

Compact view

• Collapse the panel into a small, draggable mini-cockpit that overlays your screen during pulls
• Choose which sections to show — boss assignments, marks, healers, cooldowns, Misdirect
• Colour-coded section headers with icons, and your own assignment highlighted in gold so you find your job at a glance
• Adjustable transparency and border

Role check

• Broadcast a role-check request; members get a one-click Tank / Heal / Melee / Ranged popup
• Aggregated result back in your panel

Leader-aware & read-only by default

• Only the raid leader and assistants can modify assignments, marks, and polls
• Everyone else sees a clear "View only" indicator — so tanks/healers can run the addon to follow live assignments locally without changing anything
• Personal settings (your declared role, display options) stay editable for everyone

Peer-version detection

• A lightweight addon-message handshake announces RaidLead's presence to other users and warns you if a newer version is running in your raid

Slash commands

Note: use /raidlead or the short alias /rlead — not /rl, which is WoW's built-in alias for /reload.

• /raidlead (or /rlead) — Toggle the main panel
• /raidlead scan — Re-scan group buffs
• /raidlead announce [buffs|raidbuffs|all] — Print a buff report to chat
• /raidlead sync — Request boss-template sync from the raid
• /raidlead restorehistory — Restore raid history from the last auto-backup
• /raidlead settings — Open settings
• /raidlead help — List all commands

Installation

1. Install via the CurseForge app, or extract the zip into World of Warcraft<your-client>\Interface\AddOns\RaidLead
2. /reload (or restart the client)
3. Type /raidlead to open the panel

The raid leader benefits most, but tanks and healers can install too so they see live assignments locally (and so the weapon-oil column and addon dot work for them).

Compatibility

• TBC Classic / Anniversary (Interface 20505) — primary target
• No required dependencies

Source

• GitHub: github.com/goosefraba/wow-addon-raidlead
• Bug reports & feature requests welcome on GitHub Issues or this project's comments

Notes

• All data lives in RaidLeadDB (per-account SavedVariables) — no cloud, no external service
• Sync between members uses WoW's addon-message channel; only other RaidLead users see the traffic, nothing leaks into player chat
