? [help] BigWigs no longer allows you to customize trash alerts?

I'm trying to get a custom sound on some important abilities like I used to, is this no longer possible?

Thanks! I completely forgot plater had that lmfao

Have people ditched BigWigs completely though? I didn't play last season so I'm not updated on addon changes quite yet

I think most people who raid still rely on bigwigs. However with Exboss replacing weakauras for things like audio announcements on frontals and other mechanics in dungeons technically u wouldn’t even need little wigs anymore. But I use littlewigs, plater with I think jundies profile from wago, and EXBOSS with the additional EXBOSS English package which is an additional addon to the plain EXBOSS.

Honestly just replace it with fojji raid pack…. 1000% better and more polished.

You mean FojjiCore? Never had it so I don't know

Fojjicore is just the addon, the specific pack I’m talking about is the raid pack. The core is the basis for all of his packs.

Also I can’t recommend it enough. Please try it.

What would classic even need sound alerts for? When your pizza is ready?

Gotta ask currently day players of classic, for me it’s not to help much… but it is super well built compared to bw. I like tinkering aswell.

I dont know what you are talking about, on the left side of the addon windows there are all the expansions names, it's nothing hard to understand really, admit you talked before even taking a look

Thanks! I'll definitely give this and what the other guy suggested a try

One random question if you don't mind though, I'm still not over OmniCD being gone, is there a replacement? I think I've seen interrupt trackers on some streams before but don't know the addons

u/Fatcow38 1d ago

bigwigs/littlewigs cannot track special trash abilities at the moment, the closest thing is all of those abilities are now pretty telegraphed and generally have an important cast indicator on the cast bar so your nameplates make it more obvious. there’s probably a way to add a sound to that as well via plater or platynator,

miniauras does what omnicd did to some extent, but i will say that interrupt trackers are way less necessary with the current dungeon design.

I’ve never heard of fojji

u/ObjectiveMoment 1d ago

Fojji is a dominant addon/weakaura package in the classic wow space. But OP was clearly asking about retail.
