Tactica

Auto-build/sort raids (invite/gearcheck), post tactics, set loot rules & assign roles - synced!

Tactical addon for raid leading with ease — post ~90 clear boss strategies (or add your own), auto-build and sort raids (LFM creator/poster with auto-invite/auto-gearcheck/auto-assign or raid composition tool), assign & sync roles in raid roster, export participants, and smooth out loot mode changes, all in one place.

Access all functionalities and commands via Minimap Icon ().

What it does (TL;DR)

1. Announce tactics fast

• Post default or custom strategies to self or raid with one click or /tt post commands. Auto-popup on boss (toggleable).
• /tt post for settings and frame.
• /tt auto toggles the auto-popup on boss (same as the checkbox in /tt options).
• /tt list for all raid tactics available (default and custom).
• /tt add to add your custom tactics ("enter" for line breaks will divide tactic into separate /raid msg's).
• /tt remove to remove your custom tactics.
• /tt <Raid Name>,<Boss Name>,[Tactic Name(optional)] for macro use of Tactica tactics.

2. Organize your comp at a glance

• Right-click raid roster to Toggle as Healer / DPS / Tank. Roles sync to everyone running Tactica; latest leader/assist decision wins.
• Clean indicators next to names (H/D/T).
• pfUI (optional): Tactica’s Tank role also flags the vanilla-compliant pfUI addon’s tank role when pfUI is present (requires SuperWoW).
• /tt roles to post the assigned and number of tanks, healers and DPS, respectively, to the raid.
• /tt rolewhisper toggle the role whisper function on/off (same as the checkbox in /tt options).
• /tt autoinvite or /ttai for standalone auto-invite frame, with auto-assign roles functionality.

3. Build Raids or Party (LFM poster/creator)

• Select raid, size and setup and Tactica will do the rest. Creating a seamless LFM message, to post in your channels.
• Select custom raid/size for any type of announcement (e.g. forming a party).
• Choose number of SR (Soft Reserves), HR (Hard Reserves), Tanks, Healers, and whether you can Summon.
• Select Yell, LFG or/and World to post in - set optional "Auto-announce".
• Syncs with raid roster, so when you assign a role - the LFM announcement will adjust accordingly.
• Auto-invite/auto-assign/auto-gearcheck, all built-in to ease the pain.
• Post Discord & SR links during formation.
• /tt build for the LFM/raid builder UI.
• /tt lfm posts once using your current Builder settings and respects a 30s cooldown (shared with the “Announce” button).

4. Loot mode QoL for bosses

• Optional auto Master Looter on boss target (RL only). After a boss is fully looted, get a popup to switch back (e.g., to Group Loot). (same as the checkbox in /tt options).
• Works even when ML ≠ RL: the ML’s client pings the RL via addon message when the corpse is emptied.
• “Don’t ask again this raid” (raid-scoped) and global on/off setting.

5. Composition Tool (Raid-Helper import → live raid setup)

• Import your Raid-Helper Composition Tool JSON and map Discord names to in-game characters in a 3-step flow.
• Step 1 – Import: paste JSON export directly (invalid format is rejected with a clear message).
• Step 2 – Matching: Tactica suggests matches when joined names partially/fully match Discord names; press Add to confirm aliases (you can store multiple aliases per person).
• Step 3 – Setup: allocate unmatched players into the planned group grid, then press Sort groups to apply to the live roster.
• Includes quick Keyword invite access from the same flow.
• /tt comp or /tt composition (or minimap shortcut) opens the tool.

6. Export raid roster

• Export your current raid roster into spreadsheet-friendly text (Excel / Google Sheets).
• Choose output format depending on what you need (names only, roles, class, or full details).
• Great for attendance tracking, split planning, and post-raid logs.
• /tt export to open the export UI.

Quick start

• Use the minimap icon — full access and command list
• /tt or /tactica or /tt help — full command list
• /tt options — open the Options UI
• Toggle auto behaviors in the option UI (checkboxes), or use the slash commands mentioned in help.
