DQ's Auto Marking Weakaura Tools

This Tool allows you to process data and generate custom options based on the data given. The Main Idea is that people who are able to collect data from WoWhead or any other source can create a marking Weakaura based on their collected data.

Due to weakaura limits its almost impossible to do that ingame for that count of mobs we are talking. Just to give you an example ICC Trash Mobs are about 115 - generated CustomOptions will be around 7000 lines of code.

This might clear up your questions. Diagram
