Boss encounters: AVR does not contain a built in boss encounters module FFXIV Gil anymore. They are now done by a separate addon. At the moment there are two options.
AVR Encounters adds AVR warnings for various boss abilities. It does not require any other boss encounter addon to work.
It is not a replacement for traditional boss encounter addons as it does not do ability timers, sound warnings etc. It can be used with any traditional boss encounter addon such as Big-Wigs, DBM or DXE.
Raid Watch 2 is a full boss encounter addon much like Big-Wigs, DBM or DXE. It has built-in support for AVR and also does timer bars and other kinds of warnings. Whichever you choose to use, you will also need to install AVR.
Limitations and known issues: There are some fundamental limitations caused by what information is available to addons. These are mostly related to the exact position of camera and lack of unit Z coordinates. In particular you should note following:
Drawing works best on a flat surface (note that for example Dalaran has very uneven roads). Camera getting stuck in a wall or ceiling will cause any markings to go out of sync with rest of the world.
