01Why I built it

DBM and BigWigs are great at telling you something is about to happen. They are less great at telling you what you specifically should do about it. If you're a DPS and the screen is shouting INTERRUPT, you still have to glance at the raid frames, check who's already used their kick, and decide whether it's your turn — all in about half a second. If you're a tank, the announce just says "Stack the debuff" without sorting out which tank actually has it stacking right now.

VoidRaidTools is built around the assumption that a good alert is a role-specific instruction, not just a broadcast. DPS see the interrupt rotation with their slot highlighted. Tanks see a one-click taunt button when the swap should happen. Healers see dispel/cooldown asks instead of generic "incoming damage" pings.

It runs alongside DBM/BigWigs, doesn't replace them, and silently filters out everything that doesn't apply to your spec.

02What's inside

Interrupt rotation board

Live "who's UP NEXT"
A floating board tracks every party member's kick cooldown. Real-time updates when someone fires an interrupt, broadcast over the addon channel — so you stop double-kicking and stop missing rotations.
Spec-aware ordering
The rotation sorts kicks based on who's actually available, not just a static list. If your usual lead is on cooldown, the next slot moves up.
Focus-target cast bar
Separate cast bar for your interrupt target with color coding for interruptible vs not, so you stop wasting your kick on uninterruptible casts.

Tank-swap routers

Five bosses with one-click swap
Lightblinded, Vorasius, Vaelgor & Ezzorak, Imperator, Salhadaar — each gets a dedicated router that watches the actual debuff stacks and fight state, then pops a taunt button on the correct tank's screen at the right moment. No "is it my turn yet" confusion.
Reads real fight state
Not a fixed timer — the router watches the encounter and reacts to actual stacks, casts, and positions. So if the swap timing slides because of a slow phase, the prompt slides with it.

Specialized mechanic helpers

L'ura memory game
Personal color/shape pattern with directional positioning cues so you stop guessing where to stand when the puzzle phase starts.
Chimaerus DK Grip sequence
A 3-step /castsequence with auto-targeting that lines up the Grip rotation for DKs without macro juggling mid-pull.
Marker-driven alerts
Filters mechanic alerts to only fire on your assigned targets (your raid marker). No noise from the four other people stacking on someone else.
Auto setup by spec
Pull, and the addon configures itself based on your role and spec — no per-character profile shuffle needed for alt runs.

Companion: VoidRaidToolsReader

Required dependency
VoidRaidTools needs VoidRaidToolsReader to silently record boss cast events and party aura traces during encounters. The reader is what gives the alert engine real fight data to react to instead of timer-only guesses.
First-login consent
The Reader asks on first login whether you want to upload anonymous encounter data to help mechanic detection across the player base, or keep all recording local-only. Either works.
