SurvivorGuide

by Hawksoul & Siberiano12

Over 1.75 million Hardcore characters have died, and most of them died to the same mobs, in the same places. SurvivorGuide takes that history and turns it into warnings while you play.

You choose which ones: every alert has its own switch. No spam unless you want it.

☠ Mob tiers: S, A, B, C, D

Every mob gets a tier from how many players it killed plus its tricks:

• High danger: fear or mind control, flees and brings friends, elite.
• Medium danger: stun, Net and roots, knockback, summons, stealth, heals.
• Low danger: caster, area damage, poison, enrage, patrol.

The tooltip is short by default, with just the essentials:

• [A] Tier A • 478 deaths (#564) • lvl 9-11
• its tricks as short labels: "Tries to flee • Heals itself • Caster"
• its dangerous spells: "Casts: Net, Fireball"
• how long it chases you: "Gives up the chase after ~11s without damage"

Turn off "Short tooltip" for the full version, with the notes and why the mob got its tier.

It covers 4,191 mobs with recorded kills, plus 1,019 elites and rares. Tier S mobs get a skull on their nameplate.

💚 Mobs that heal: be ready to interrupt

• A heal icon on the target portrait when you target a mob that heals itself, plus its tier letter.
• "Get your interrupt ready" when it drops to 50% health, with your interrupt status ("Kick ready", "Pummel in 4s").
• "INTERRUPT THE HEAL: Rejuvenation" the moment it starts healing.

🔥 Cast bar under the target portrait

• See what your target is casting: spell icon, name and time left.
• Green = a heal (interrupt it!), orange = you can interrupt it, grey = you can't.
• /sg test shows a sample bar so you can check where it sits.

🏃 Leash: how long a mob chases you

• In the open world a mob gives up after ~11 to 15 seconds without damage, depending on its level. In dungeons the trash never gives up.
• While you run away, a countdown shows: "Defias Trapper gives up the chase in 6s".

🪜 Elevators, bridges and ledges

An alert when you get close to one of 134 spots where players died falling, from any side, going up or down: the Undercity and Thousand Needles elevators, the Thunder Bluff elevators and rope bridges, the Shadowglen tree… They show on the world map too.

• Each alert says what it is: ELEVATOR, BRIDGE or FALL POINT.
• One alert and one total per place: both ends of a bridge count as one bridge.
• Only one falling alert per minute, so no repeated warnings.

👑 Rares, elites and your nemesis

• A rare-spawn style alert, with portrait and sound, when a rare, rare elite or elite shows up. It also shows the mob's tier and kills.
• NEMESIS! When the kind of mob that killed one of your characters shows up, you'll know who it killed and where. You can put a skull marker on it.

🗺 Danger on your world map

Icons on the world map:

• the 223 death hotspots (bigger and redder the more players died);
• elevators, bridges, falling, drowning and lava spots;
• PvP areas.

Hover an icon for the deaths, the victims' level and the deadliest mobs with their tier. Spots you out-level are dimmed.

⚠ Danger zones

An alert only on your screen when you enter a death hotspot inside the map: Fargodeep Mine, Skull Rock, Jangolode Mine, Fel Rock, the Thunder Bluff and Undercity elevators…

⚔ PvP

• An alert when you enter PvP areas: Orgrimmar and Stormwind gates, Crossroads, Tarren Mill, Southshore, Grom'gol…
• A big warning when you get flagged.
• A warning when a flagged enemy shows up.

🏰 Dungeons

When you zone in, see how many players died in that dungeon and to what.

🔮 Live alerts

• "INTERRUPT: Fireball" when an enemy fighting you starts a cast.
• "Defias Pillager is fleeing!" before it brings its friends back.

🗡 Revenge

Every death of your characters is saved for the whole account. Kill that same kind of mob, or that same player, with any character and REVENGE! shows on your screen.
