Getting Started

How to use MythicIQ

Set up combat logging once, run your key, then use the web app or desktop app to review what happened: mechanics, deaths, role decisions, and the data patterns that point to your next improvement.

Basic Setup

Get combat logging ready for review.

MythicIQ does the analysis, but World of Warcraft still has to write the combat log. The standard setup is simple: choose the web app or desktop app, make sure logging is enabled for dungeons, run your key, then review the newest log file.

01

Choose web or desktop

Open the web app for browser-based review, or install the desktop app for the simpler regular-use flow with recent-run history and automatic encounter loading.

02

Enable combat logging in WoW

World of Warcraft only writes a useful review file when combat logging is enabled. A lightweight helper add-on can handle turning logging on and off for the content you care about.

03

Run your key normally

Play the dungeon as usual. After the run, the combat log in your WoW Logs folder has the events MythicIQ needs for replay and analysis.

04

Open the log in MythicIQ

In the web app, drop in the latest WoWCombatLog file. In the desktop app, use recent history, the file picker, or automatic encounter loading after a wipe or completed run.

Logging Helper

Use a lightweight add-on to manage logging.

MythicIQ does not currently turn combat logging on and off inside WoW. You can use a simple helper such as LoggerHeadLite on Wago Addons, or any equivalent add-on you already trust, to enable logging for the instances you want reviewed.

Review Your Play

A practical run-review pass.

You do not need to inspect every event. Use MythicIQ like a review checklist: confirm the run, find the costly moments, replay the context, and look for patterns you can improve next key.

Step 1

Start with Overview

Confirm the dungeon, run time, deaths, party composition, and the broad read on how the key went.

Step 2

Check Mechanics

Review avoidable damage, dangerous casts, dispels, cleanse opportunities, and the moments that usually decide whether a run feels clean.

Step 3

Use Role Review

Look at tank, healer, and DPS-specific signals such as mitigation, interrupts, survivability, and useful team plays.

Step 4

Drill into Pulls and Deaths

Open a bad pull or death recap, then use the replay timeline to see what happened around the mistake.

Step 5

Finish with Insights

Use data insights and custom review windows when you want to understand repeat patterns instead of a single event.

Two Ways to Review

Use the web app for quick review, desktop for the smoothest flow.

Both methods use the MythicIQ analyzer. The desktop app adds the quality-of-life features that matter when you review lots of keys and pulls.

Browser

Web App

Use MythicIQ directly from the website when you want a quick review without installing anything. It is the full analyzer, not a demo.

Desktop App

Use the desktop app when MythicIQ is part of your normal run routine: simpler UI, recent-run history, and automatic loading after wipes or run conclusions.

Ready for a Run

Log the key, then let MythicIQ do the review.

Once logging is handled, the workflow is straightforward: play, open MythicIQ in the browser or desktop app, and review the moments that matter.
