The Raidstrats.gg addon brings raid planning into World of Warcraft — pull your roster automatically, build plans or import them from the website, share with your group, and fire timed in-combat popups so every raider knows exactly where to stand.
From roster to ready-check, the addon covers the whole raid-planning loop in-game, and lets you import finished plans from the raidstrats.gg web planner.
When a ready check goes out, the compact planner opens for every assigned player — your spot glows green so you know exactly where to stand before the pull.
Everything you need to lay out a strat right on the boss arena: shapes, raid markers, role and class icons, arrows, lines and free text — across multiple scenes for each phase.
Keep every strat in one place. Group plans by boss or night, reorder them, rename in a click, and multi-select to organize in bulk.
Send a plan to everyone running the addon in a single click. Tweak a strat between pulls and push just the change — no full re-import needed.
See exactly who's on the plan at a glance and nudge anyone who isn't — the whole group, or one player.
Paired with NSRT, the right scene pops up mid-fight at the right second — and highlights each raider's own spot. No alt-tabbing during progression.
All the smaller quality-of-life features that make planning fast and frustration-free.
A separate stage for every phase of the fight — switch tabs to plan each one.
Toggle the name labels under placed objects to see who's assigned where.
Overlay a number on every object — the same spot numbers your NSRT tags use.
Freeze every object so you can present a plan without moving anything by accident.
Generate a raidstrats.gg link to the current plan and scene for teammates.
A shrunken, movable view via WoW's Edit Mode — ideal for keeping a plan on screen.
Imported abilities show real spell icons, with optional hover tooltips.
Pick your own highlight color and the color for everyone else's spots.
A first-time walkthrough (replay with /rsggtour) plus an in-game Help window.
NSRT timing, display toggles, combat behavior, and a "hide plans during combat" option.
Open the planner from the minimap or with a slash command — your choice.
Bring a plan in from raidstrats.gg with an import string, or generate a link to open the current plan on the web.
The Raidstrats addon is integrated directly into WoWUtils / Viserio Cooldowns. You can link a raidstrats.gg raidplan to any assignment, then author timed in-combat popups right from the assignment — the cue lines are appended to your NSRT note automatically.
Want the plan to pop up on its own during the pull? Pair it with Northern Sky Raid Tools (NSRT). You add a few rsgg lines to your NSRT note — the addon reads them and shows the right scene, to the right people, at the right second. If you can write an NSRT timer, you can do this.
With dur:, the plan shows before time and hides at the cue.
Checks the tag — are you assigned?
The compact planner view appears mid-fight.
Your position lights up green; others stay grey.

| Field | What it does | |
|---|---|---|
rsgg | Marks the line as a raidstrats cue. | Req |
time: | Seconds into the current NSRT phase. | Req |
ph: | NSRT phase number the cue belongs to. | Req |
scene: | Which plan scene/tab to show (1, 2, 3…). | Req |
plan: | Alias from an rsgg-bind line. Omit to use the last bound plan. | Opt |
tag: | Who sees it — a group, inline names, or an indexed spot map. | Opt |
dur: | Seconds to show the plan before the cue time (hides at time:). Same pattern as other NSRT timers. Example: time:100;dur:30 shows from 70 to 100. | Opt |
compact: | Set false for the full window instead of the compact view. | Opt |
Colors match the example above.
Read the last cue as: “In phase 2, show scene 3 of plan B to everyone in Group2 from 70s to 100s (dur:30 before time:100).”
Deciding who sees a cue
Leave tag: off and the scene opens for the whole raid running the addon.
Point tag: at a rsggGroup line, or list names inline. Position sets the spot — name 1 = index 1.
If you're Alyssa, spot 1 glows green.
When several players stack on one spot, map them explicitly — the number is the Preview index on your plan.
Spot 1 → Alyssa & Bran, spot 2 → Hector & Dia, spot 3 → Kara.
Turn on Preview index in the planner to see the number on each object. That's the same number your tag refers to — object 1 on the map is spot 1 in your note. Test the whole thing outside of raid with /rsggtest.
dur:N on a cue to show the plan N seconds before time: (hides at the cue). Without dur:, Settings → NSRT Timing lead/linger applies.plan: and the cue reuses the last plan you bound.rsgg-bind per alias.From installing to syncing your first plan with the whole raid.
