How to boost your raid's icecrown performance by 500%

[BonutDot]

Have all of your raiders download the following 2 addons:

AVR - Addons - Curse
AVR Encounters - Addons - Curse

The first is the base mod structure for drawing a virtual overlay on your screen. The second is a plugin that integrates with the first, with some very wonderful bossmods.

What do they do? They make the difficult gimmicks in icecrown trivial, if you have any degree of hand/eye coordination. In short, they draw actual circles and lines on your screen, showing exactly where to go, or where not to stand. Bossmods are good and all, but a text warning can't hold a candle to a visual aid.

Examples of what the mod looks like in action:

Heroic marrowgar - [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLiRU3D-4zk]YouTube - AVR+AVRE: H Marrowgar[/ame]
Putricide malleable goo - [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHrRWuUsIEI]YouTube - AVR+AVRE: H Putricide - Malleable Goo[/ame]

Just install both mods, and go into your raid, and it will automatically give you a visible cue "hey you shouldn't be standing here, here, or here".

The best part is, it will work even if you are the only one in your raid who uses it! The other raiders will not get to see the circles of course, but you will be able to see exactly what to do, guaranteed.

Could PVE get any easier, seems everyone needs a helping hand to avoid standing in fire these days...

I saw someone using a similar addon in Forlorn Legacy - Windrunner, US, Alliance, but instead of lines or blobs on the ground, it was simply an arrow. This is much more useful though! And the fact that -everyone- doesn't need it for it to work as intended for -you- is, I agree, the best part. Thanks for bringing my attention to this.

It's not just for "don't stand in fire", it also is a great help for hardmodes where split second decisions are the difference between progressing and wiping. For example, knowing valid targets to pass the unstable disease to on heroic putricide is much easier when you can visually see where to go, rather than having to plan it out ahead of time, or rely on a text-only warning.

This addon is cheating in some way. I am not sayin' it IS, but it does give a huge advantage to anyone using this addon.

Thanks for posting btw.

Nice addon, though I think it could be fun to play the game myself without computers doing everything for me ^^[/COLOR]

Neat add-on combo. However, you standing a mile away from marrowgar made me cry. I know he has a huge hit box, it isn't THAT big. :P

[brisingr15]

He's a hunter, they stand far away from Marrowgar by default. Now how far past the min range they need to be from him is too far? Personally I have no clue x_X.

You've killed LK HM 25 amirite?

Nice addon, though I think it could be fu to play the game myself without computers doing everything for me ^^

Loled.. So why dont u go INSIDE THE GAME and actually play then? Pretty sure u play it on the computer, and the computer does everything you ask it to do on WoW (Ex: Walk) lols.s.s
