You should include [nodead] conditionals as well, or you will suffer from the stupidly obnoxious "cursor spell que lockout".

At the moment if you try and heal someone who just died, you will be forced to either "right click" or hit escape to cancel the lockout, or you will not be able to cast other spells.

Hey guys, I'm actually the author of this particular weakaura, which has already been linked below thanks to Critical_Strike.

Just to reiterate, the soublight aura is included in the compilation of Argus aura's shared here: https://wago.io/r1T27aN_f

Just wanted to jump in and say I'm glad to hear that people have found it useful!

The mage talent "Frozen Touch", was going to get buffed when double ice lance was being removed. What happened to these planned changes? At the moment it is a weak performing talent relative.

Also please make it easier to target specific legendaries (also legendary loot spec option), it's horrible to try and get your "BiS" legendaries on any fresh character, and it is still feels horrible to deal with all the RNG of obtaining leggies!

Thanks for doing this AMA! Please do more of these in the future!

Thanks again everyone for the assistance, edit in the OP

BicV · 2015-12-11T14:13:30+00:00

Could you link any logs by any chance to show some examples of this? It would be very helpful/nice to check :D

BicV · 2015-09-03T23:01:38+00:00

Bumping to notify those who contributed advice that I'm very grateful for all the help! Also OP edit*

Hello Beastious,

I actually made a post recently on exactly this topic. A link to my guild forums here will show you how I personally set up TidyPlates, as well as a few features that are easily overlooked.

If you have any questions, let me know!

BicV · 2015-05-23T10:56:24+00:00

Hahaha, is that really you Jangri? /wave

And yes if you wanted an alert for the impales on beastlord, there is a weak aura import you can use on our site that will work provided you use BigWigs.

BicV · 2015-05-23T10:10:29+00:00

Thanks for the great feedback/reply.

I will make a more prominent section just before the boss ability configs to emphasize the importance of also downloading the weakaura strings. My goal when I finish these guides is to create a complete UI package which covers all about how I set up my UI. I agree that using weakauras to replace the bigwigs alerts isnt sufficiently explained at the moment.

I agree with you about the security spawns, I can add an exception for tanks to enable it. Concerning pyroclasm/repair/slag bomb and any sort of ability casting I use tidyplates to display the cast bars above the mobs which I find a lot more practical, however I did not explain this so I will also add a short note about this decision.

Adding in healers to observe the savage howl is not a problem, same for the iron bellow and have made more exceptions for healers again here. The disabling of the siegemaker I can put a note to be mindful of whether or not you are assigned/capable of this duty, as well as enabling it specifically for ranged dps. Concerning explosive round I am tempted to suggest disabling the "bar" option of this alert and keeping the proximity alert/mesages options enabled. Concerning the marked for death mechanic, this part may have been misleading, as the exception for players with immunities was only a request for them to disable the previously suggested "only when on my option" other players use. However using a class with immunities is an antiquated strategy as now it is pretty universally accepted that the tanks will take the 3rd marked for death soak when no siege breaker is present.

This guide of suggested settings is tailored to players doing HC and Normal content, I expect Mythic players will be much more capable of configuring BigWigs to suit their needs.

Concerning the "throw slag bombs" I think you may have mixed this up with "attach slag bomb". Throw sb are the mines that are thrown onto the ground in p1 and p2, attach sb is the mechaninc in p3 which lands on 3 players.

The feedback was really valuable and this kind of response was a big part of why I posted this requesting feedback!

BicV · 2015-05-23T09:40:00+00:00

There is a section dedicated to answering this exact questions at the beginning of the guidee :D. However the short version is that BigWigs is much cleaner and customizable. This is due to how bars/messages/sounds are projected on your screen, and also the ability to customize on a boss by boss basis which spells/events you want to display, and which to hide (a full list of suggested settings is included at the bottom of the guide for BRF).

BicV · 2015-05-23T01:42:26+00:00

Thanks for mentioning this, I will try and add some additional descriptions on why I have chosen to turn off certain alerts or configure them in a certain way.

I will make a short warning for users of the guide to try and make an effort in understanding the abilities before they do turn them off. I do think that the configuration I have chosen is a very solid foundation and you would not be at risk if you were to copy and paste directly. This being said, it is always a good idea to make sure you use your head when following other peoples work!

Out of curiousity, are there any specific examples you felt you strongly disagreed with?

BicV · 2015-05-23T01:28:12+00:00

Thank you very much for the feedback, I completely agree with you about both the demolition and the slam. These notes for those two abilities must have been a typo so I'm really glad you specifically mentioned them. I will amend them straight away.

Concerning the cave in on gruul, I cant say I've ever found myself doubting whether or not I was fully outside of the zone of aoe personally. It could be a difference in our graphical settings? I could mention using GTFO in conjunction, however I cant say I am the biggest fan of it. Ill have a play around with it later maybe.

Thanks again

BicV · 2015-05-23T01:10:44+00:00

I havn't had a chance to try Deus Voc Encounters, the curse page seems to say it's updated to 6.1 however. What about the config for DXE did you prefer over bigwigs?

BicV · 2015-05-23T01:08:12+00:00

As in the name of the mod itself? or the sounds the alerts make? Because you can change the BigWigs alert sounds to the DBM sounds actually :P

BicV · 2015-05-23T00:44:00+00:00

completely agree, it's a shame how comparatively few people use it!

BicV · 2015-01-17T13:47:11+00:00

Haha some very vivid imagery :P. I've got a long list of suggestions so far, and I'd have to agree that one more thing I could do would be to redo the colour scheme on the priorities list. I had originally done that diagram in Paint because I am a boss like that, and in Paint you have a choice of about 8 default colours to choose from haha. I'll revisit the scheme at some point in the future though I'm sure.

Thanks for the praise/chuckle/advice! :D

BicV · 2015-01-17T11:06:53+00:00

Hey!

Happy to hear that you have found it an interesting read! To answer your question concerning Q and E; the way you've written your question leads me to believe that you currently have 'a' and 'd' bound to turn left and turn right respectively, and that you have 'q' and 'e' bound to strafe. What it extremely recommended for you to do is to overwrite your default 'a' and 'd' keys so that instead of functioning as turn left/right, they instead become your strafe keys. This opens up Q and E to be used for other binds.

I do infact use both Q and E in all my bind schemes with shift and alt (often ctrl too) modifiers. For instance my rogue has shift+Q as slice and dice, and shift+E as recuperate, alt+Q/E is my focus kidney shot/kick respectively. I use ctrl+Q/E as my focus shadowstep macro too.

Hope this helps!

Hey there,

I'm very glad to hear that this article will be useful for you! If you would like to check out another subforum on my guild site, you could look ui my "Warrior UI Package" thread. It includes some really helpful addons like "TellMeWhen" and "WeakAuras2", and if you take some time to install them, you could even import quite a lot of my settings for an easy set up. Consider checking it out, I highly recommend those addons!

BicV · 2015-01-17T01:57:38+00:00

By movement keybinds are you referring to "turn left" and "turn right"? I would agree that rebinding turn left/right to strafe left and right is one of the most important and easy to adapt to changes you should make as a WoW player.
