RKA - Rumorix Kick Announcer
Mythic+ runs live and die by coordination. One missed interrupt on a dangerous cast can turn a clean key into a wipe, and the fastest way to prevent that is making sure everyone knows which kick target belongs to whom. That is exactly the problem RKA - Rumorix Kick Announcer solves. This lightweight utility automatically announces your assigned raid marker to the group the moment a Mythic+ key starts, so your interrupt assignment is communicated before the first pull even happens.
What RKA - Rumorix Kick Announcer Does
At its core, RKA handles one job extremely well: it tells your group which kick marker you are responsible for. When a Mythic+ run begins, the addon posts a simple message such as "My kick target is Skull" or whichever marker you use. The announcement fires once per run, and it does not require a focus target, an enemy target, or any mob to be in range at the moment the key starts. That timing matters, because at key start there is usually nothing to target yet.
Beyond the opening announcement, RKA also offers an optional successful interrupt announcer. When enabled, it can notify your group after you land a real interrupt, for example "Interrupted: Shadow Bolt." This feature is disabled by default and only triggers when the addon can confirm the interrupt actually succeeded, so pressing your key without connecting does not spam chat.
Macro Integration Without Double Configuration
The smartest part of RKA is how it reads your existing interrupt macro. You do not need to configure the same marker twice. Simply add the /rka macro tag to the interrupt macro you already use, alongside your usual /tm raid marker command. RKA detects the tag, reads the marker from the /tm line, and uses that assignment automatically.
- Add /rka macro to your interrupt macro to flag it for detection.
- Keep your normal /tm marker command in the same macro.
- Change the marker later and RKA picks up the new assignment.
- Use /rka macro in multiple macros across different classes and characters.
If you play several characters with different interrupt abilities, each macro can carry its own raid marker. RKA identifies the macro actually being used rather than relying purely on automatic scanning, which keeps assignments accurate across your whole roster.
Configuration and Slash Commands
Everything is handled through a full in-game options panel. Open it with /rka and you can enable or disable the addon, toggle the Mythic+ start announcement, select your kick marker manually, turn macro marker detection on or off, edit the announcement text, enable successful interrupt announcements, preview your message, send a test announcement, or reset the current run state. English is the default language, with automatic German localization on deDE clients.

Example Workflow
Add /rka macro to your normal interrupt macro, keep your /tm marker command in the same macro, and enter a Mythic+ dungeon. Start the key and RKA announces your assigned kick marker automatically. Set your focus once the relevant enemy is actually in range, then use your interrupt macro as usual. Your assignment is communicated at the start of the run without needing a target to exist yet.
RKA is intentionally simple and unobtrusive. It does not try to replace your rotation or your decision-making. It just removes the awkward silence at key start when nobody knows who is kicking what. Less typing, clearer kick assignments, more interrupts. For anyone who runs Mythic+ regularly, RKA - Rumorix Kick Announcer is a small addon that quietly makes every group a little more reliable.
