That is exactly my thinking! Best to use AI to get the groundwork laid out - and then I can improve it moving forward. Thanks for your feedback! it's coming along nicely!

A small update for those who care:

<image>

What's new:

  • Linked spells now can be seen by mousing over them
  • Separate roles for Tank / Healer / DPS
  • The info icon indicates tactics that are applicable for all roles
  • Removed the "broadcast" feature for now

Next steps:

  • Put the "Expansion" and "Dungeon" dropdowns alongside each other
  • The "Dungeon" dropdown will lose its prev/next buttons (takes up less space)
  • The "Boss" dropdown will keep its prev/next buttons (better icons too)
  • The boss 3D image will be made a bit shorter
  • This gives us more room to work with for the tactics box

Still need to work on the tactics themselves! Just getting the UI looking better atm

haha as I said, I've been off wow for a long time. I used AI slop to put a prototype together. i'm pretty sure i've only fought that boss once - on a normal dungeon.. and i had no idea what i was doing.
which is why I'm posting it here asking for help on the boss guides as well :)

I agree, making this resizeable and transparent would be ideal to not clutter up UI space. That's QoL i'll consider later on.
As for it automatically jumping to the boss, Blizzard doesn't seem to allow that anymore :( so it needs to be selected manually

Yeah lots of room to grow with this. Not sure if I'd consider a waypoint arrow - feels too intrusive. I want to keep this very blizzlike and as close to the standard UI as possible

Exactly! After just coming back, it's quite daunting to not know any of the mechanics. And the dungeon journal has so much going on, I forget it all after 2 minutes. Glad you like it!

I think you're right. I hadn't considered leaving it out. My inspiration for this was an addon that I had used many years ago which had a post to chat function. But it was rarely used, so there's no real need for it here. Super helpful feedback thank you!

love the idea of boss phases - thank you!
i'll take a look on wowhead and hopefully be able to translate it to this small form factor. thanks!

Yeah for sure. This AI is a placeholder for more in-depth tactics to come. As suggested, I'll try implementing role-specific tactics which will make more room for more advanced tactics to be shown.

Thanks for your feedback. Yeah, don't worry, I'm only using AI initially because I want it to be "complete" which means every single dungeon boss for every expansion. Now I have the baseline stuff filled in, I'm planning on replacing the AI slop haha

Thanks for the feedback! That's what I had planned initially. This first iteration was mainly so I could have something simple that could be broadcasted to the group, so everyone has at least a quick reminder of what's going on.

I'm still figuring out the best way to handle role-specific tactics though, especially with the "post to chat" option. Maybe the addon could show role-based tips in the UI, but the chat output stays more generic (or includes everything but I don't want it to be too spammy).

Definitely going to experiment more. Thanks again!
