Alpha Release: This project is currently in early alpha. Features and database content are subject to change.

Overview

Strategy is a World of Warcraft addon designed to help tanks and party leaders share concise, actionable encounter strategies in Mythic+ dungeons and raids.

Instead of relying on complex auto-detection or target scanning, Strategy provides a clean Strategy Panel that automatically appears when you enter a supported instance. The panel lists every boss and critical trash pack in progression order.

Simply click a button to announce the strategy to your group.

Features

• 🏰 Automatic Detection: Instantly loads the correct strategies when you enter a supported dungeon.
• 📋 Strategy Panel: A visual list of all encounters in the instance.
• ⚡ One-Click Announce: Click any button to output the strategy to chat.
• 🛡️ Role-Specific Advice: Strategies align [TANK], [HEAL], [DPS], [INT], and [DISP] notes.
• 🎨 Modern UI: Clean, dark-themed interface with a detailed side panel.
• 🚫 Spam Prevention: Strategies are announced button-by-button, with full control over what is sent.
