Anub'rekhan Naxx mod

Should the line:

"Show special warning for Locust Swarm"

be

"Show special warning when you are affected by Locust Swarm"?

I'm trying to make the special warnings consistent when it warns you that you have a debuff, are taking damage from something, etc.

everyone is affected by Locus Swarm,

I think it is a special warning telling you that P3 started :)

My concern is that in the GUI, it shows up as:


- Show warning for Locust Swarm

- Show special warning for Locust Swarm


There is no way to differentiate between the two. In other mods, when something has "Show special warning...", it's usually that you are being affected by that ability, it's debuffing you, you're taking damage from it, etc, and I note it int he GUI as such - "Show special warning when you are being affected by XXXXX".

I thought Locust Swarm only affected people who were close to Anub'Rekhan, which is why the entire raid except the tank and maybe his healer stood in the middle of the room. I haven't run Naxx in ages.

one that says "Show warning for Locust Swarm" it was changed to a generic yesterday and local for it was removed. It's just announcing the spell cast. Since EVERYONE already sees the special warning it may be a redundant warning though, but the wording is still right.

Special warnings aren't always "you", just generally are, sometimes they are used for very important potentially raid wiping spells though that effect everyone. Think the wording is right on the special warning. It shoudlnt effect anyone but the tank (and maybe some dumb melee) but the healers need to know about it too. so using "affecting" would be incorrect.

Ok, thanks. Yes, I've been very careful to make sure the special warnings I translate say if something is actually affecting you or not.

I'll just make a mental note on it if I ever want to change how it is worded in the future.
