CrutchAlerts 
This addon is a crutch. Use the crutch proudly.
Unlike other alert addons, CrutchAlerts displays almost ALL incoming attacks that are cast on you. It also displays a curated list of casts on other players or the enemy itself that may affect you, as well as very large prominent alerts for especially dangerous or important casts. It's come to contain various other PvE features too.
However, this isn't meant to be a replacement for addons like Code's Combat Alerts or trial-specific addons which all display additional useful information. I think of CrutchAlerts as a gap-filler and also just an interesting tool to see the abilities cast on me out in the world, some of which have interesting names I would never have noticed otherwise.
Disclaimer: Certain features that rely on text detection may only work on English client. Other language support has been added for some parts.
General
General Alerts
- Shows timers for anything that someone (usually enemies) "BEGINs" casting on you, as well as effects that you "GAIN" from enemies. Basically, it contains most targeted attacks.
- Shows timers for certain "BEGIN" or "GAINED" attacks on other people or enemies. Typically these are AOEs that could be dangerous for you. This is a manually curated whitelist, you can adjust them in alerts/AbilityData.lua if you want to add/remove something.
- Shows an approximate countdown for when certain bosses will be damageable, such as Pinnacle Factotum and Nahviintaas. Mainly English clients for now, with some other language support.
Prominent Alerts
- Shows reaaaally big text and sometimes a ding sound for attacks where your action is requested, e.g. blocking the Assembly General Stomp, blocking Shield Charge, etc.
Vertical Boss Health Bar
- Instead of traditional health bars that go left and right, this features vertical health bars for the boss(es), allowing labels for percentage-based mechanics
- This is a work in progress! Planned features / known issues:
---- Trial and DLC dungeon mechanic thresholds have been added, but not arenas/base game dungeons yet. SoonTM!
---- DLC dungeon thresholds were compiled from online guides and sources, many of which disagree on the exact %s. I want to eventually verify all of them precisely, but this will be a very slow process.
---- More customizable options
---- Center-screen alert text for upcoming thresholds?
---- The upcoming thresholds highlight in yellow based on the health of the healthiest boss. That means some encounters with multiple bosses, such as DSR twins, won't highlight properly when fighting the first boss.
---- Sometimes after wipes or turning on hardmode, the higher health thresholds remain grayed out
Trials
Asylum Sanctorium Features
- In addition to the regular targeted timer for the Defiling Dye Blast, adds options to play a ding sound when the cone is on yourself and/or other people
Cloudrest Features
- In execute with Siroria, shows which side the two flares should go to. This matches the sides designated by RaidNotifier.
- Shows an indicator for Olorime's spears mechanic. Shows a colored icon for 1 revealed spear, grayed out icon for synergized spear, and checkmark for orb dunked.
- Colorizes OdySupportIcons death icons purple if a corpse's shade is still up.
Dreadsail Reef Features

- Shows a prominent alert if you reach too many poison stacks. The number is adjustable in Settings > Dreadsail Reef
Halls of Fabrication Features
- Shows an icon in the world on triplets for a spot outside of Shock Field. You need OdySupportIcons for this to work.
Kyne's Aegis Features
- On trash, shows icons on the approximate locations where Exploding Spears (from Raiders) will land. You need OdySupportIcons for this to work.
- On trash and Falgravn, shows icons above players targeted by Blood Prison, a second before the bubble even shows up. You need OdySupportIcons for this to work.
- On Falgravn, shows icons on the 4 dps stack points for the 2nd floor. You need OdySupportIcons for this to work.
Lucent Citadel Features

Sunspire Features
- On Lokkestiiz hardmode, shows icons on the ground for beam phase positions, which will only show before pulling and during flight phase. You need OdySupportIcons for this to work.
- On Yolnahkriin, shows icons above players who are safe to stack on (do not have Focused Fire debuff) when Focus Fire is cast - mostly a feature for the OT. You need OdySupportIcons for this to work.

Arenas
Infinite Archive Features

- Automatically marks enemies that can cast Negate Magic, same as above. Disabled by default.
- Shows icons where Fabled Brewmaster throws Elixirs of Dminishing. Requires OdySupportIcons.
Maelstrom Arena Features
- Shows which stage and round you are on, and extra text to remind about final boss round.
- Shows notifications and sounds if you start taking damage to certain abilities in NORMAL Maelstrom/Dragonstar, to facilitate AFK farming, notifying you if manual intervention is needed.
Vateshran Hollows Features
- Option to display messages for missed adds on veteran difficulty, to aid in scorekeeping. It should be used only if going for score; skipped adds may be inaccurate if you skip entire pulls.

Depends on: LibAddonMenu-2.0
Optional if you want trial-specific mechanic icons as listed above: OdySupportIcons
Known Issues / Planned Features
- Add more customizability to be able to turn things off

 I'd rather leave cast times to cast time / cast bar addons to do. Jabs only last 0.8s, and beam is 1.8s, so I could somewhat see an argument for beam, but if I were to add jabs, that'd be like wanting to add all the other cast time abilities too, for example Rapid Strikes, and that's a slippery slope. ... but more technically, I didn't add the arcanist timers, I just didn't exclude them. If you really want to see jabs as a timer (and you have Show begin casts on), you can go to CrutchAlerts/alerts/AbilityData.lua and delete the jabs lines from the blacklist. Seems like jbeam is a different action result I don't normally listen for, so you won't be able to get a timer for that as easily. |

Crutch Testing
Since I don't currently run a wide variety of trials, I need some help to verify the last several prominent alerts I haven't fully tested yet. I'm looking for recordings of the alerts in action to be sure they actually work.
These are the things I'm looking to verify: - that the alert shows when the mechanic happens - that the alert doesn't show at wrong times, e.g. when the mechanic ends - that the alert shows only when it's on you if it says it's "on yourself" below, or the opposite for "on anyone" And these are the specific alerts: DSR - Cascading Boot on yourself (Dreadsail Overseer) I'll send 50k gold for each first recorded clip of the prominent alert working (or not) on either megaserver (yeah not much but something ) This has to be done with CrutchAlerts version 1.0.0+ of course, and double check the respective setting under the content-specific menu, e.g. CrutchAlerts > Maw of Lorkhaj > Alert Threshing WingsFeel free to either post clips here or send to kyzeragon on Discord (preferred)

Re: Re: Re: vLC
incentive to fix one's fake tank roles, I suppose. I do in general like having a small alert for role-specific mechs while raid leading, even if I'm not that role, to remind people if I see they aren't doing the things. That's a good point though, maybe I should change my WIP alert to only ding for current aggro, to spare the OT's ears a bit.

Re: Re: vLC
(Fate Sealer in CCA is shown only to players who currently have boss aggro or who have a taunt slotted, since if you don't have aggro and don't have a way to get aggro, then there's nothing you can do about it anyway. The obnoxious new sound will only go to the person who currently has aggro, since 99% of the time, they're the one who's going to deal with it, and the OT will just see the alert without the new sound.)

Re: vLC
 The pink one is from Crutch, and the large blue one is from code's. That said, I added a prominent alert for it for tanks in my dev version, but I've been reworking the prominent alerts system so I haven't uploaded that yet. I'm also considering adding a timer for when the Fate Sealer would kill people, but that might be a little more work to have it cancel the timer properly when the orb gets smashed. Though maybe it would be fine for now to have it linger on the screen... |

vLC
Hello, maybe you could add spheres spawn alert on the second boss of LC? (Orphic) It's an important mechanic for tanks, and I notice as a tank, sometimes it's hard to notice it.... I'm sure there are more people who would like some kind of notification about it, thanks
