RDX6, SWStats for sure.

Alreadys stated, but Raid Restore has been a HUGE time saver. some advantages:

1. Nef phase 1 to phase 2, I can change groups with the click of a button.
2. Group setup prior to a raid - no more moving classes as you invite
3. Can tweak each encounter and have the perfect setup for trash and each boss then just change it on the fly
4. Can also set it up by name instead of class so people who perform a certain role in a group will always be in that group - think of C'Thun - each person knows where they stand each time as their group is always the same.

So many uses. Caveat - if doing a phase 1 to phase 2 change - or any in combat change that moves a lot of people at once - do it at an opportune time - such as at the very beginning of phase 2 of Nefarian - because it will lag some people - specifically anyone using CTRA.

Best part is, if you are out of game during the day, but are next to a computer, you can set your groups up from the SavedVariables file and load it when you get on WoW. I even use it for stuff like ZG/AQ and BGs.

Invaluable mod for a raid leader.

Gives you 8 icons, one for each raid-icon... ctrl+click to set a icon on someone... click to take the target (if someone else allready has it... works via /assist)... Also shows HOW many are targetting each icon... Mouseover windows shows exactly WHO targets what.

Helped me as a raidleader and our pullers immensly.

Is there a version of this that's not tied to CTRA?

That version doesn't require CTRA...

After surprising the raid with Loatheb last night, a lot of people were without shadow prots, but there were still enough in the raid to go around. Somehow 5-6 people managed to completely miss this, and die after the 4th doom, resulting in a wipe (4 of them were healers).

So I decided that today I was gonna write an AddOn that would allow me to check when people have a certain buff, and when they gain it... In other words an AddOn that will allow me to spot the Shadow Prot slackers during the fight :)

However, as a new day dawns and I face the prospect of actually coding it, I am overcome with laziness.

Does anyone know of a lightweight AddOn that does what I described? :)

Thanks in advance!

Well, XRA does that... You can set it up to "watch" any buff you want. You'll get the number of people buffed all the time, and can get a list of the people lacking.

Quantuvis · 10/05/06, 3:18 AM

Thanks, I'll give that a twirl!

Sess · 10/05/06, 3:49 AM

Yup, I do that with stoneshield potions aswell on encounters like Patch and Maexxna. Just to make sure our tanks aint forgetting it.

Saternium · 10/05/06, 4:43 AM

By XRA I assume you mean XRS?

zork · 10/05/06, 4:49 AM

Hey

Following Mods are important:
XRS - Raidstatus
BigWigs - BossMod

Following Mods help a ton in specific situations for the whole raid.
CTW - Range Checker for Cthun and Stuff where you need to spread out

Well i dont think that any other addons are needed.

Is there a mod / easy way to set MT's with oRA2 btw? (short of typing)

Going from CTRA to oRA2 with squishy and things probably was a nice thing for my memory usage, but damn it's annoying how little documentation there is.

Sess · 10/05/06, 6:58 AM

You have the GUI in Fubar, but besides that I dont belive there is a much easier way todo it. I've got used to it now, goes abit slower than the "TM" function in CTRA, but meh.

I lead raids with oRA2 MT windows, the one thing I miss is the methods for getting someone to assist you for a target, now however I just assign symbols to each tank at the start and mark each trash pull accordingly which in turn actually speeds things up.

As far as editing the MT windows goes, I prefer the / cmds to the FuBar interface because I can type the stuff out hella fast compared to right clicking a lot.

Example:
/ora mt set 1 Borelock
/ora mt set 2 Flex
/ora mt remove 1

I do everything by the keyboard, I thrive in a good shell, but sometimes things can get a bit cludgy when you have maintanks with names like 'elI7Ã«' or 'mÃ¶z' and similar :)
