BossTactics improves and simplifies explaining boss tactics in World of Warcraft.
***Looking for coders to assist.*** Would like to bring this back
Knetik (aka Czarknetik) has taken over this addon in an attempt to keep it going. This has been a great addon that has helped many guilds to simplify fight strategies and setups.
Sorontur's final statement before handing it off
After over 5 years of WoW, it is time for me to end my time ingame. It was really a great time, raiding with so many friends and achieving so much.
Cataclysm is really not what WoW used to be, so this is a good point to stop this. But this also means, that i will not continue my work on BossTactics.
I put really much effort in it and I hope you have had lots of benefits. I tried it in 4.2 and there where no lua exceptions for me, so maybe you can use it for a while until Blizzard again changes the complete API. Maybe someone likes to continue the work, feel free to do so, just send me a message on curse and i will grant you permissions.
So this is my good bye to you! Have a good time in Firelands.

Localization
If someone likes to add language support to BossTactics you can post the locales here:
http://www.wowace.com/addons/boss-tactics/localization/. The strategy texts are too big for this feature so there it cannot be used.
do you get any lua errors (except those which tell you that localisations are missing)?

@bugum
yes to see what the raid leader is showing everyone needs the addon
Do raid members have to download the addon as well to be able to see it from the raid leader?
