Proc Notifications

According to the test realm patch notes, they will be removing proc notification in the combat logs, next patch.

This basically means addons like Jamba or MSBT, which notify us when our slave/party members have a proc will not be able to do so. Things like Eclipse, Arcane Barrage etc.



Here is a work around:

Download and install - EventAlert - Addons - Curse

Open this file - WoW\Interface\Addons\EventAlert\EventAlert.lua

Find:

function EventAlert_DoAlert()

if (EA_Config.ShowFlash == true) then
UIFrameFadeIn(LowHealthFrame, 1, 0, 1);
UIFrameFadeOut(LowHealthFrame, 2, 1, 0);

Add after:

-- This line will call out to Partychat
-- SendChatMessage("Art of War! - INSTANT EXLOLCISM INCOMING!!", "PARTY", "Common", index);
-- This line will call out to Say
-- SendChatMessage("Art of War! - INSTANT EXLOLCISM INCOMING!!", "SAY", "Common", index);
-- This line will whisper a toon named Satinworship
-- SendChatMessage("Art of War! - INSTANT EXLOLCISM INCOMING!!", "WHISPER", "Common", "Satinworship");

Uncomment (remove the --) from one of the lines that starts with "SendChatMessage" the examples I've given you are party, whisper, and say. For Whisper, you need to change the toon's name from Satinworship to your other toon's name.

You may have to do some trickery for it if your class is tracking multiple procs, or you can just do /ea opt and go uncheck the procs you don't want to look for.

Why the hell would they remove that from the game?

Not sure, I would think that would be somewhat useful

I'm hoping this change won't go live.
I honestly don't see a good reason for removing it.
It wouldn't be so bad, if we had not been given the functionality, but having had it... it sucks to have it removed.

I'd rather have an addon parse the combat log in real time.
And give notifications, as desired procs occur.
Only need the addon to run on the toon(s) you lead with.
Not sure of worldofraids or wowwebstats will be able to track the number of procs or not.

This is a work around, should that actually go live.
Configure which procs are announced, via party chat or whisper.
With Jamba, whispers can be forwarded to the master/active toon... so either would work.
