About BossInfo

BossInfo



BossInfo is an addon used to provide a simple overview of Boss fights and encounters. The information is broken down into section for Tanks, Healers and DPS.

The Information in BossInfo is written for Heroic encounters. In most cases the Regular Dungeons are just easier versions of the Heroics so the information cant be used for either. Extra notes have been added for encounters where the Regular and Heroic are different.


Using Bossinfo to see Boss Encounter Information is easy. Simply choose a Boss from the pull down menu or target the Boss and press the Target Button.

BossInfo also has the ability to send an overview of the Boss Encounter to your Party. Simply choose the Boss from the menu or target the Boss and press the Target button and then press the Party Button to send the overview to party chat.

To access the addon, simply click on the icon; or use the slash commands /bi or /bossinfo

Options Menu can be accessed by Right Clicking on the Icon or typing /bioptions or /bossinfooptions

You can now click 'About' and then 'Party' to send a message to your party, telling them where they can download Bossinfo :)

    This was a great addon, but i have not seen it update in very long time. is it a dead project? wish it could be updated for 4.3 with the new instances. thank you for bringing this addon to life, it has helped many times in pug :)

    could this be updated for ZA ZG?

    Invaluable addon, just wish it could be updated. I can imagine what a PITA it must be. wish there was some way I could contribute to updating it with new encounters.

    I love the mod. Don't want to pug without it.

    Is there anywhere we can help with sending or posting suggested text for bosses? I now just make macros for the new bosses in zul'gurub and zal'aman, it works but I would rather just use this mod again.
  • #51
    PLEASE make an update for 4.1 with the new heroics and stuff. It's gonna be a lifesaver for a lot of people out there.
  • #50
    I'm actually quite happy with the fact that there's no minimap icon, but just an icon I can place wherever I want (my minimap is too full of shit these days).

    Second I found a typo on "Baron Ashbury"... "He will brinf" must of course be "He will bring"... For the rest great work as far as I looked into it.
  • #49
    please update with new encounter information.
  • #48
    Great addon! But can we maybe get a minimap button instead of the huge icon? Other than that it works like a charm for helping new people quickly learn the fights.
  • #47
    There are some fight updates w/ the recent 4.0.6 patch, was wondering if the info would be updated soon...
  • #46
    I like this mode, but if you can put in the function to select normal or Heroic, it will be really nice! when i link the fight on the chat the heroic description fight is link on Normal cata dungeon ty !

    Looks like a great mod. A suggestion, possibly have a "simple" or "detailed" explanation for each boss. Like the Lord Obsidius example above might take a bit long to read and absorb, especially in your typical impatient team. It could maybe be summarized: Tank: the adds interfere with healing, have dps kite if possible. DPS: kite the adds, they block healing on the tank with their debuff. etc....Also, does the mod allow you to edit the descriptions / instructions? That would also be very handy as I could summarize / phrase it in the way that I like.

    Any chance of tossing in ldb and the ability to hide the button, so we can use the ldb plugin to access it instead?
  • #43
    Awesome Addon!!

    Can you make a /command or hotkey to auto spam out the info of target boss to party?

    Wishlist:
    Add spell links of boss
    Add loot links of what boss drops

    Thanks
