TBCRaidCompass

Complete in-game raid guide for TBC Classic Anniversary: all 9 raids and 53 bosses with detailed ability explanations, color-coded role tips, trash guides, auto boss-kill tracking and shared raid notes. No libraries. UI in German.

TBC Raid Kompass is a complete in-game raid guide for World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary (patch 2.5.6). It puts the tactics for every TBC raid directly into your game — no alt-tabbing to a wiki, no external websites, no libraries required.

All 9 Raids — 53 Boss Guides

  • Karazhan — 14 entries (all bosses, Opera event variants, optional bosses)
  • Gruul's Lair — 2 bosses
  • Magtheridon's Lair — 1 boss
  • Serpentshrine Cavern — 6 bosses
  • Tempest Keep (The Eye) — 4 bosses
  • Mount Hyjal — 5 bosses
  • Black Temple — 9 bosses
  • Zul'Aman — 6 bosses
  • Sunwell Plateau — 6 bosses

Every boss guide includes:

  • A short overview of the encounter
  • A large 3D model portrait of the boss (where available)
  • Every ability explained in detail — what it does and how to handle it
  • Mechanic badges such as [Interruptible], [AoE] or [Tank Swap]
  • Color-coded role tips for tanks (blue), healers (green) and DPS (orange)
  • Role filter buttons to show only the tips relevant to your role

Trash Guides & Mouseover Tooltips

  • Every raid has a dedicated Trash tab listing the important trash mobs and their abilities.
  • Hover over a trash mob (or boss) in the game world and the addon appends its abilities to the game tooltip.
  • Mobs are recognized by NPC ID — works regardless of client language (German and English clients supported).

Boss Kill Tracking

  • Per-boss "defeated this week" progress with automatic weekly reset.
  • Auto-detection: bosses you kill are marked as defeated automatically — live during combat and via saved-instance scan after login.
  • Kill sync: a boss kill is shared with everyone in the raid who runs the addon, so the whole raid sees the same progress.

Raid Coordination

  • My Notes: personal, persistent notes for every boss.
  • Share notes: raid leaders and assistants can share their boss note with the raid — it appears in the guide window of every addon user and is posted as a raid warning (/rw), so players without the addon can read it too. Long notes are automatically split into multiple parts.
  • Addon activity counter (visible to leaders/assistants): shows how many raid members run the addon — hover for the names, click to recount.
  • Raid roster with real promote/demote assistant management.

BossWatch Companion Window

  • Target a boss and a small companion window shows its role tips, with your own role highlighted.
  • Stays visible while you prepare and hides automatically during combat — it never blocks your view.

Minimap Button & Search

  • Click the book-icon minimap button — if you are inside a TBC raid, the guide for exactly that raid opens automatically (instance detection).
  • Full-text search across all raids: boss names, abilities, role tips and trash mobs — click a result to jump straight to the guide.
