Work-in-progress addon.
Goal:
At the beginning of each 5-men Dungeon boss fight, this addon will cause you to /say a quick recap of the bosses mechanics. It won't give orders or lay down a strategy or anything like that, just a refresher on the mechanics of the boss.
The main source material for the write-up is the ingame Adventure Journal.
Example:
When the party engages Slagmaw on Ragefire Chasm, your character will /say:
- <Encounter info for Slagmaw> Spits lava at a player's location. Submerges and emerges at different spots around the area.
Reason:
I'm not a hardcore wow player, and I often stay away the game for many years before coming back. Therefore, when I join a Random Dungeon, I always have the risk of running into a boss with some mechanics that I either don't remember or never knew about.
Conversely, since many players got used to the way the game was playing in the last years, with dungeons being a rushfest that allowed players to completely ignore their mechanics, it's noticeable that a lot of the active population is also unfamiliar with the dungeon mechanics. Therefore, a "/say" message with a quick recap is a good way to make sure that everyone know what they are facing.
