Looking for an addon that quickly runs down mechanics.

Whyn Aurum · January 2021

I am looking for an addon that will have a very short description of mechanics for particular dungeons/trials/arenas.

I am aware of Xynode's addon - but it is basically a copy paste from his website and a wall of text.
I was wondering if there was an addon that roughly tell you what to do. Lets say Ruins of Mazzatun final boss:

- Totem priority
- Team stays close and indicates the correct cursed monument to the cursed player so that he can kill it
etc..

Is there something like this avaliable?

I wish there was since -- I agree -- the "expert" game sites are clearly not written by English or Journalism majors and are wordy walls of text.

The Mechanics SHOULD be written in Bullet Point format:

~ That way only the most important...
~ Really, really important and...
~ Super-duper important things will be included.

Like:

Mighty Chudan --
1) Poison Spit Ranged Attack will KILL even the Tank -- Dodge Roll
2) When "targeted" run BEHIND Lightning NPC's DOME and Chudan will charge YOU but will kill Lightning NPC who otherwise is unkillable.

Final Boss --
1) Destroy Draining Totems IMMEDIATELY with RANGED attacks since the closer you are the faster the draining will be.
2) Team should run to Illuminated Totem so "cursed" player can kill it.
3) Don't be stupid. (Sorry, I added that superfluously.)

If you actually read my post, you's see I specifically excluded that addon.

And if you read mine you'd see I was saying it's the only one (I think) and I like it.

You wanted to know if there's another one. I told you no I don't think so. I also expressed my opinion that I like Xynodes. And I linked it because I link everything I mention in my posts all over the forums. Other users who want it can follow to it.

By the way, the very best instruction for Group Dungeon Mechanics that I have found is NOT by reading, but by watching SHORT (like five- to 10-minute videos) that SHOW the mechanic!

For instance, I could not understand the mechanic of the Kiln Room (you know it?) until I saw a short video of a guy SOLOING (whoa!) the Kiln Room and I went, "Oh, yes, I see! It's easy!" Grapple up, find "lit" floor tile, interact with it (twice just in case), drag Boss to lit ground-floor-level tile and break his thin damage shield -- done.

The PUG-Killer Dungeons are not hard -- although they do require top-level DPS and healing and a smart Tank who is actually being a Tank and not a quasi-DPS guy -- it's just that the "expert" sites have AWFUL writers who blather on and on about useless info and BURY the actual Mechanic Info deep in a wall of text.

Okay, thanks, I'm done ranting now.
