DESCRIPTION

MotherDirection is designed to help a raid to deafeat Mother Shahraz. It depends on Deadly Boss Mods. DBM assign raidIcons to player's who are affected with 'Fatal Attraction'.

WARNING : Since 2016 Blizzard has restricted pending location retrieval to avoid combat bots. Consequence: only Static mode is possible in instance

If two player's were ported DBM assigns:

Player1: Yellow Star
Player2: Orange Circle

If three player's were ported DM assigns:

Player1: Yellow Star
Player2: Orange Circle
Player3: Purple Diamond

Mother Direction is designed on that facts. That means if you get an Icon the addon pops up a window which tell you in what direction you have to move. It also provides a dynamic arrow mode and a compass mode. Read the feature list to learn more about this.

Yellow Star - West
- Orange Circle - East
Purple Diamond - North / South

Usually after a port all player look into the same direction (West) So this addon also show you static arrows, which show you in what direction you have to move.

ANNOTATION

This Addon is not for brainless people, that means if the addon is directing you through a camp of other players or the maintank group, you shouldn't do so!
