Quote:Not built in. The warnings/timers are the addon CT_BossMods. They just use a mechanic that CTRA defined -> /rs. Simply modify CT_BossMods to use the new /rw, and again you only need a few people with BossMods running, and only one that's broadcasting.
That's not completely true. Some of the warnings are individual things such as the warning that a nearby bug is about to explode during the Twin Emps fight. That's not something that your own copy of CT_RaidAssist/CT_BossMods is warning you about and can't be broadcast to you by someone else who is not in the area.
Quote:This is a total tangent, but anyone who doesn't care about the rez monitor has clearly not played a priest, and spent thousands of mana and minutes of time trying to rez people that are already rezzed.:)
And don't tell me that everyone can just make a macro because I can't count the number of times I have seen "Ressurecting Golemagg in 10 secs..." in chat! :blink:
No kidding. Our raid rez time has been sped up *so* much ever since I walked our priests and shamans through the instructions of how to bring up the resurrection window in CT_RaidAssist. Before, I would see on the resurrection monitor like five people rezing the same person. Now, at most I see two people rezing the same person, and usually one person stops during the rez process and starts rezing another person. It's especially helpful after a full raid wipe, because rezers are supposed to rez other rezers, so it's more likely that they'll choose the same person, especially if they're just going down the raid list. Now, people rez seperate rezers who can then rez other people and then the group gets up so much more quickly. Sure, you might say it only shaves off three minutes (my estimate) per wipe, but if you wipe ten times while you're learning new content, that shaves off a half an hour on your trip, so it really pays off.
(The same thing can be said for deciding loot. Your runs will be so much faster and more enjoyable if you speed up the loot decision process by a few minutes at each boss. A few minutes times eight or so bosses can add up to a lot of wasted down time).
