RaidTriage is a standalone decision-support addon for World of Warcraft Healers (Retail). Unlike standard unit frames that only show current health, RaidTriage calculates the Time To Die (TTD) of every party/raid member in real-time.
It uses Text-To-Speech (TTS) to give you clear, audible instructions on who needs urgent attention, allowing you to keep your eyes on the mechanics while ensuring no one dies from lack of healing.
🧠 How It Works
The addon monitors three key metrics for every player:
- Damage Taken Per Second (DTPS): Calculated using a "Sliding Window" to analyze sustained damage while ignoring irrelevant noise.
- Effective Health: Current HP + Incoming Heals (predicts if a player is already being saved by another healer).
- Time To Die (TTD): The exact seconds remaining before a player dies at the current damage rate.
If the TTD drops below your configured threshold (e.g., 3.5 seconds), the addon triggers a Smart Voice Alert.
🔊 The 3-Tier Alert System
RaidTriage doesn't just spam you; it analyzes the group context to recommend the best action:
- Tier 1 (Single Target Danger): Only 1 player is dying.
- Audio: "Heal [Player Name]"
- Action: Use a strong single-target heal or defensive (e.g., Holy Shock, Serenity).
- Tier 2 (Group Danger): 2 to 4 players are in critical danger.
- Audio: "Group Damage" (customizable)
- Action: Use efficient AoE healing or cleave (e.g., Chain Heal, Wild Growth).
- Tier 3 (Raid Panic): 5 or more players are about to die.
- Audio: "Raid CD" (customizable)
- Action: Use a major cooldown immediately (e.g., Tranquility, Aura Mastery, Link).
⚙️ Configuration Guide (/rt)
Type /rt to open the configuration panel. Here is how to tune the algorithm for your content:
1. Algorithm Sensitivity
- Window (Seconds): Determines how much "history" of damage to analyze.
- Set to 3s - 4s: Best for Mythic+. Reacts instantly to burst damage spikes.
- Set to 6s - 8s: Best for Raids. Smooths out data for rot/dot damage patterns.
- Critical TTD (Seconds): The safety margin. If a player is predicted to die in less than X seconds, the alarm triggers.
- Recommended: 3.5s. Increase this if you feel the alerts are coming too late.
- Anti-Spam (Seconds): Enforces a minimum silence duration between voice alerts to prevent audio overlap/clutter.
2. Voice Messages (TTS)
You can customize what the voice says for Tier 2 and Tier 3, or disable specific tiers if you only want alerts for massive damage.
- Master Switch: Quickly toggle all voice alerts on/off.
- Debug Mode: Prints the calculated Math (TTD, DTPS, and Incoming Heals) to the chat frame whenever you take damage. Useful for testing your settings on a Training Dummy.
🚀 Performance & Compatibility
- Lightweight: No CPU-heavy graphical libraries. It's pure math and audio.
- Midnight Ready: Designed with future API restrictions in mind to ensure longevity.
- Standalone: Does not require WeakAuras or other dependencies.
