## Introduction

**BigWigs** is a boss encounter add-on. It consists of many individual
_encounter scripts_, or _boss modules_; mini add-ons that are designed to
trigger alert messages, timer bars, sounds, and so forth, for one specific raid
encounter.

Looking for functionality that BigWigs doesn't cover? Try these addons:

* [LittleWigs](https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/little-wigs) is a plugin

  various battleground and world PvP timers.

  management functionality including raid cooldowns and Battle Res counting.
* Old content can be installed by [doing a search for BigWigs](https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/search?search=bigwigs)
  on Curse and installing the appropriate expansion addon.

## Our goals

When raiding, a high framerate is important. We understand that every extra
frame matters, so BigWigs aims to be as efficient as possible. The
memory/second and CPU/second footprint of BigWigs is the lowest of all boss mod
addons.

When modules are written, every aspect of the encounter is inspected. Is add-on
synchronisation required? Is target scanning required? What events are really
needed?

We also aim to have the latest encounter scripts released ASAP; not long after
the first few attempts of a brand new boss, we usually have a working encounter
script for it.
