Addons & WeakAuras
Setup MRT and WeakAuras for in-game cooldown warnings
Method Raid Tools Addon
Everyone in your raid needs MRT with their Note feature enabled.
Helpful addon for raiders, especially for raid leaders and officers. Modules: Raid Cooldowns, Notes, Reminders, Visual Notes, Battle Resurrection icon, Fight/combat log, Raid Inspect Viewer, Raid Check, Invite Tools, Timers, Raid Attendance, Encounters Statistics, Saving log (autologging), Marks Bar, Permanent Marks, Loot to chat, Who pulled, WeakAuras checker, Raid Groups Saver.
MRT Settings
Go to MRT → Note → Settings before use to clean up the visuals. Look at the different settings options - especially the bottom 3 checkboxes are very useful for reducing screen clutter.
Kaze MRT Timers WA
Kaze MRT Timers WA requires no setup. Works in raid/dungeon boss combat.
This WeakAura serves as notifications for MRT timers. With customizations on when to show these notifications.
Display and Customization Options
The Custom Options tab offers many ways to customize the WeakAura to fit your UI and playstyle:
- Display Customization - Set the position and scale of both spell and text display independently
- Toggle Spell Text, Caster Name - For most players, having just the icon and timer visible is the cleanest and best use
- TextToSpeech Settings - Change what the TextToSpeech will say, and when it will begin talking
- Warn Duration - The timer for when the WA will pop up. Default is 8 seconds, but as a ramp healer I like to increase mine all the way to 30 seconds
- Custom Settings for Spells or Note/Text warnings - Found in the bottom of the Custom Options. I suggest setting up some custom settings for the Note/Spell text
- Wago Description - The Wago Description also offers some insight into the formatting requirements for the weakaura. This is only needed if you are a very advanced user making custom timers
Read the rest directly in the description and Custom Options tab for more information.
Test your Kaze WA
How to test the MRT Note/WA before your raid - double-check everything works before raid night:
Go to a dungeon and test on a boss
Testing on a Training Dummy does not work. The easiest dungeon to test is Eye of Azshara. Take the portal to Azsuna in the portal room in Orgrimmar. The first boss there is easy to reset.
Set up a set of cooldowns on any boss (except Mug'zee)
If the boss has phases, assign some cooldowns to phase 1. Assigning timers to later phases will not work as they require specific boss casts to trigger (i.e. not timers with, SCC:123456:1). So only phase 1 timers.
Post it in your MRT note and press send
Copy the MRT note from Viserio Cooldowns and paste it into your in-game MRT note.
Pull the boss and check if the Note and WA warnings work
The note should have yellow timers that count down (Dynamic Timers). The WA should pop up when you are approaching a timer with your name assigned.
Other Reminder Tools
Other WeakAuras like Liquid Reminders or MRT Reminders are also made to work with the cooldown planner on Wowutils.
But since they are independent tools, we can't promise all niche features get covered in the future. If you have questions related to them, I suggest asking their authors.
