SszorakCompass

A raid marker compass for Sszorak on Mythic.

Sszorak Compass shows the eight world markers in a circle and turns it 180° before each Venomous Surge, so you can see which way to go. Numbers your raid lead posts in raid chat light up on the matching markers.

Type /ssz to see your settings and the command list. The compass shows up only during the Sszorak encounter, in test mode, or while unlocked. It works on its own and doesn't need BigWigs or DBM.

Features

• The eight raid markers clockwise from 12 o'clock: triangle, moon, square, cross, skull, star, circle, diamond
• An orange glow and an arrow on whichever of triangle or skull is at the bottom
• Flips 180° a set number of seconds before every Venomous Surge from the 2nd on
• Raid lead marks drawn as sky blue rings, current pair bold, next pair thin
• Colors from the Okabe-Ito palette, readable with red-green color blindness
• Test mode that plays a full Mythic pull without the boss
• Reads surges from the encounter timeline like BigWigs does, so it keeps working in combat, where spell IDs are secret

Raid lead marks

Only raiders who want to see the marks need the addon. The raid lead just types in raid chat.

During the fight the raid lead posts raid target numbers, one per message: 1 star, 2 circle, 3 diamond, 4 triangle, 5 moon, 6 square, 7 cross, 8 skull. A set is four numbers. The first two are for the next surge and are drawn bold, and the last two are for the surge after that and are drawn thin. When the circle flips, the bold highlight moves to the last two (right after the 1st surge if you turned flipping off). The marks clear 25 seconds after the 2nd surge of the set (change it with /ssz clear), and the next number starts a new set.

Every raid chat message from the raid lead during the encounter counts as a mark, so anything else should go in raid warnings or voice.

Test mode

/ssz test runs the Mythic timeline without the boss, with surges at 29, 76, 156, 203, 283 and 330 seconds. 15 seconds before surges 1, 3 and 5, a fake raid lead sets four marks. Chat reports each step (marks set, flip, surge, marks cleared), so you can tune your timings before you pull. Run it again to stop.

Commands

/sszorakcompass works too. Settings are saved per account.

Known limitations

• After a /reload mid-fight, the compass stays hidden until the next pull.
• Surge detection works on Heroic and Normal too, but the test timeline and the mark pattern are built for Mythic.
