Drag a name, drop a tank, post the lineup.
A raid planner built for the officer doing Karazhan from a phone on a train, not the one with three monitors. Move signups between groups, swap a healer for a tank, bench the third Ret, and send it back to Discord when it reads right.
Open the raid. Move the names. That is the interface.
Same raid, same signups, same Discord thread. The planner is where you arrange them by hand instead of retyping a list every week.

- Drop here to bench
A sketch of the board, not a screenshot, but the names carry their real class colours and spec icons. The grip drags, the role tag sits on the right, the bench is its own column.
- The drop only lands if the spec fitsDrag a Fire Mage onto the tank slot and it stops you, same rule the signup button runs. No lineup that falls apart the second you read it back.
- Auto-place when you would rather not thinkOne button fills every unassigned signup into open slots. Tweak from there or leave it. Good for the Tuesday clear where the comp writes itself.
- Their note sits on their row"Can only stay till 22:00", "bringing the resto alt instead", "late, traffic". You read it while you place them, not after you posted.
Built to plan a raid one-handed.
Most raid tools assume you are at a desk. This one assumes you are on the bus with twenty minutes before pull.
The hard part of dragging on a touch screen is that a touch is also a scroll, so the planner splits the two on purpose.
The grip drags
A handle on the left of every row. Press it and that one name lifts. Touch sensors, not a desktop drag bolted onto a phone.
The rest of the row scrolls
Drag from the grip, scroll from anywhere else. A thirty-person signup still moves under your thumb instead of trapping you at the top.
The three-dot menu when aiming is fiddly
Touch drag misses sometimes. The menu on each row does the same moves without the aim: change role, send to a group, bench, set an alt.
It reads your buffs before the raid does.
The planner looks at how you split the groups and tells you what is covered and what is missing. Two shamans in one party and none in the other, no Blessing of Salvation on the caster group, a totem element nobody is dropping. The kind of thing you find out at the boss otherwise.
- Reads the lineup group by group and flags melee, caster, or mixed
- Lists which buffs are covered and who is bringing them
- Calls out the key buff nobody slotted and the shaman piled into one group
Classic Era, TBC, and MoP each get their own buff list, so he reads your lineup against the right one. Totem coverage is a TBC problem and only turns up there.
- Arcane BrillianceMage
- Wrath of Air TotemShaman
- Blessing of Salvationmissing
An example readout, not a live one. The real panel names the raider bringing each buff.
The things a signup button cannot do.
Four moves that only exist because someone is looking at the whole night at once. None of them need the raider to redo anything.
- Alts
Swap someone to their alt, on their behalf.
They signed the main, then said in chat they would bring the healer alt instead. You do not make them withdraw and sign up again. Change the character for them and the lineup updates. They keep their slot, you keep your evening.
- Splits
Two ten-mans on the same night, side by side.
Plan both runs at once without them tripping over each other. Place names into one, then the other, and post each lineup to its own thread. Nobody ends up double-booked because two officers were editing the same list.
- Assignments
Master looter, main tank, and raid assist, per instance.
On a multi-instance night each run gets its own. Set them while you are already looking at the lineup, instead of announcing them in voice thirty seconds before the first pull.
- Handover
Post the comp as an image the group can read.
The raid happens in Discord, so the lineup goes there. Send it to the raid thread or a channel you pick, laid out so nobody scrolls a wall of names hunting for their own group.
The groups end up in the raid frame, not in a whisper.
Your raid leader already has Method Raid Tools open. Export MRT on the planner hands them the lineup as MRT's own Raid Groups import string, so the arrangement you dragged is the arrangement people log into.
The dialog spells out the five clicks in game, including which import format to pick, because it is the third one down and nobody remembers that. Copy, alt-tab, paste, save.
- Tanks first, then healers, then DPS, inside every group
- Realm suffixes come off, so Fjorvalt-Mirage Raceway pastes in as Fjorvalt
- Eight groups of five slots, blank ones included, so nothing shifts up a line
- One copy button, or grab the box and take it yourself

One direction, out of the planner. Move somebody after you exported and you export again, which is a button, not a retype.
The lineup that lives in a Discord message, except you can drag it.
The planner did not replace anything. The raid still gets posted from Discord, still gets signed in Discord, and still ends in Discord. This is the one screen where arranging thirty names by hand is faster than typing them.
The lineup posts where the raid already is.
You planned it on the web, but the raid happens in Discord, so that is where the comp lands. No copy-paste, no retyping it by hand, no second list to keep in sync with the first one.
And the honest part, since you would find out anyway: this is the only planner. It is on for every guild, there is nothing plainer hiding behind a flag, and it is built per-flavour so a check that only matters in one expansion only fires there.
- Send the lineup to the raid thread or a channel you pick
- Edits sync to the Discord embed, so there is no second source of truth
- Everything you can drag, you can also do from Discord if you would rather type
- On for every guild. No flag to flip, no plainer planner sitting behind it
- Renders for Classic Era, TBC, and MoP, each with its own checks
Stop retyping the lineup every week.
Add HootusPlootus, walk the wizard, and build raid night by dragging names instead of counting reactions. The lineup posts back to Discord when it reads right.
