Boss Health Bars
Tested and functional in WotLK Classic 3.4.1
Overview
This addon provides on-screen health bars for bosses and important enemies during WotLK Classic raids such as all 3 stages of Mimiron, Algalon's Collapsing Stars, or Freya mini-bosses.
Includes support for:
- Ulduar
- Naxxramas
- The Obsidian Sanctum
- Eye of Eternity
Updating the health bar requires that either you or any other raid member be targeting the enemy, you have the enemy as your focus target, or have the enemy under your cursor.
Health bars are greyed out and it displays their last known health value when neither yourself nor any other raid members have the enemy targeted, however this still works great for scenarios where you need to split DPS evenly such as Mimiron's phase 3 and Freya's adds, or see the health of enemies other groups are engaging such as the Thorim tunnel team bosses.
This matches how addons such as Deus Vox Encounters used to provide on-screen health bars back during original Ulduar, directly referencing boss health from Lua didn't get added until later updates.
Upcoming
- Absolute health
Known Issues
- Some enemies such as Algalon's Collapsing Stars don't technically die and only reach 1hp, so they will briefly remain at 0%. I want to add support for tracking some extra events that will allow for detecting this and flagging as "DEAD" in the future.
