EXBoss can be downloaded through CurseForge.
EXwindtools (English and Spanish support) can also be downloaded through CurseForge.
EXBoss AddOn
EXBoss is a boss mod AddOn designed to provide clear and customizable warnings for boss and trash mechanics in both raids and Mythic+. EXBoss comes with multiple different visual warning styles, including timer bars, countdown text, central announcement text, and more.
By typing "/exboss" into any chat window, players can open up the customization options for the AddOn. In this menu, players can select different customization options for voice alerts, text alerts, and choose what mechanics and abilities to track, all from a simple menu. The tabs at the top of the menu organize Mythic+ dungeon alerts by bosses and trash.
Almost all settings come with Edit Mode functionality, along with the ability to preview how different warnings will present before jumping into content. This allows players to tweak their settings to their exact needs ahead of time.
There are tons of different ways to track abilities with EXBoss
Use EXWindTools for Additional Language Support
There is one small hiccup to this AddOn: the default voice/text alerts for EXBoss are in Chinese. Players looking for English and Spanish language support will need to install the EXwindtools extension. This extension provides both English and Spanish Voice Packs for any text-to-speech warnings.
Alongside that, EXwindtools comes with tons of additional functionality for those looking for further tracking capabilities in Mythic+:
A standard Interrupt Tracker to help keep track of who has an interrupt available during a trash pull
Range Monitor to track how far you are from a mob
Battle Rez tracking
Brewmaster Stagger tracking
And so much more!
These tools can be customized by typing "/exwind" in any chat bar and adjusting settings in the AddOn menu.
Need a ready check and pull timer command? EXwindtools has you covered!
Downsides of this AddOn
Having tons of additional functionality is both the strongest and weakest element of this AddOn.
With tons of functionality, there are a lot of settings players will likely need to tweak to reach their exact needs. Upon installing the AddOn, tons of different tools are enabled by default, which could accidentally clutter your UI with too much information. If you already use a previous boss mod AddOn such as BigWigs or DBM, this further compounds that issue, and some players might be better off using what they are already used to.
Overall, use your best judgment when deciding to use EXBoss or not, but for players looking for a leg up on Mythic+ ability tracking, this AddOn is a great addition to consider!
