also, it appears that special warnings like shadowblaze / adds from heroic magmaw etc don't trigger as "special warnings"

any chance that you add the proximity radar from bigwigs? is much more confortable then just the listing of the names with meters beside their names

Great.
Just gave it another try. We were doing V&T heroic. As usual, i set up various audio cues for debuffs on me.
50% of it never fired off, still had to rely on encounter mechanic visual effects to be safe (pink arrows and such).

Works great for all heroic encounters so far, but a cooldown/warning for Release Abberations on Maloriak would be nice.

so I tryed this out for both of my raids this week. and I deffinitly like the look of it over deadly boss mobs. but I noticed that it was a bit more difficult to understand what was going on with the different audio ques and on ignacious when the shield of agies came up I didnt have a visual bar telling me when the bars was dead and I had to rely on my targets buff bar. I did have what I think was an audio que. but as the mod does so many audio ques I wasnt quiet sure. So while this is a beutiful looking mod. sadly I think Im going back to DBM. Ill check back though I would realy like to use this.

You should gve it another chance. ;)
On Ignacious there is a special warning bar that says "Aegis of Flame Warning!" and if the shield is removed you get a warning bar "Interrupt NOW!" coupled with a unique sound.
And you're free to switch off the sound for any alert in the encounters. Just poke around the config for bosses and reduce the sounds to your liking.

I didnt get those warnings for some reason. I would be happy with that. I will give it another try and see. maybe some of my sound issues was because of the game sounds interfeared with the sounds of the addon.

The localization needs YOU! Visit http://www.wowace.com/addons/deus-vox-encounters/localization/ and translate away. If you're unsure about a phrase, mark it as "should review" and I'll check it in the code.

Which encounter? At the moment there is virtually no frFR localization, so encounters may not start correctly.
If this happens with more encounters, please open a ticket on the wowace.com page with the details. I'm working on the localization issues.

Very strange. Magmaw is one the bosses that are activated solely by targeting them and starting combat.
If possible try DXE on other bosses and make sure the DXE frame is green and shows the boss name before the fight begins.
If the problem remains, I'll have to activate frFR client myself. ;)

All my dreams come true, thanks for the resurrection of DXE, the definitely best BossMods available.

great news that DXE is back, have missed it. Been using Bigwigs till now and have got used to an option it has, Verbal countdowns. This is where you can set a "5, 4, 3, 2, 1" audio countdown to abilities. I would love it if you could get this added to DXE. Its a huge help and reduces Bar Stare.
As a bonus, the option for adding soundfiles would be great :)
