Introduction

In many boss fights, determining the point at which a phase switch happens or how long the current phase will last is a crucial part of beating the encounter. That's where PhaseX comes into play. It's goal is to help managing the phases during the fight. This is done by visualizing the phases as a percentage bar with multiple (overlapping) layers, giving information about the progress in the current phase aswell as the estimated duration left until the phase ends. The layers use distinguishable colors, you might know these kind of "boss health bars" from a few other RPGs.

The addon is currently in beta, since a few bosses need more testing.
