BossEncounter3  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: v3.9.15
by: Mrcoolmods [More]

Summary
BossEncounter3 is a boss mod and the successor of BossEncounter2.
Its purpose is to ease your time through bosses by providing tools such as timers, health bars, alerts, a radar and other more specialized tools.
BossEncounter3's philosophy is to deliver these tools to the players in a fun, elegant, efficient and funky manner.

Features
General
* Boss modules for Cataclysm bosses (both raids and dungeons) up to 4.3 included.
* Selectable difficulty level for BE3. Higher difficulty levels tell BE3 to provide you with fewer tools and fewer hints during combat!
* Features a diagnostic tool to help players see what went wrong after a wipe on raid bosses.
* Downloadable music plugin #1 to rhythm your fights: http://static.curseforge.net/content/files/516/244/BossEncounter3_Orchestra.zip
* Downloadable music plugin #2 to rhythm your fights: http://static.curseforge.net/content/files/536/921/BossEncounter3_Symphony.zip

Interface
* Selectable health bars for the main boss and its adds.
* Timers for incoming events (rather similar to boss mods such as BigWigs and DeadlyBossMods).
* Summary window telling you the name of the fight, as well as the combat time or the berserk timer.
* Visible text for really, really important stuff you may not miss.
* A radar which allows you to check your distances and the evil areas of doom which you mustn't stand into.
* Other graphical elements are used for some bosses.
* Evaluation of your performance each time a boss fight is cleared.

System
* Completely standalone AddOn: no external library or AddOn is required or installed.
* Automatic wipe detection.
* No configuration to do in long and boring menus. The options for each boss are intentionally limited.
* Widgets can be moved and resized. A test mode is available to set them.
* Works best with French and English game clients. Correct performances can be expected with other languages.
* Includes a bonus feature to check your equipment before a boss, for those who regularly forget to unequip fishing poles...

3.9.15 _________ * This version fixes serious issues with many boss modules since the 5.0.4 update.

Post Wont work.

Iīve installed the addon like the other. It shows up in the addon selection screen but after login, it seems it doesnīt exist.
Did some normal an heroic runs but I didnīt get a module selection for the bosses.
I play with a enGB Client on german servers.
Anyone got a clue ?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Corborus, the Stonecore

Originally posted by Folji
There appears to be a bug with the encounter for Corborus, the first boss in the Stonecore. During the second phase of the encounter, where Corborus dives underground and occasionally re-emerges only to dive back down again (with adds and all), BossEncounter3 read the situation as a wipe and Corborus' eventual re-emerge as a second attempt at it.
This (along many other bugs) is fixed in 3.1.1.

As for the lockup upon a wipe, I'm still investigating but I'm not totally sure it's really caused by BE3, as I have the problem on some bosses but not others.

Very nice Addon but I do seem to be having a small issue with it. Upon Death the addon freezes up the game and I end up having to Alt +F4 out. Just thought I'd let ya know =)
