Could you add the option to resize the arrows? id like them bigger....

And i belive the second Submerge timer on Anub Heroic TOC 10man is off by about 10 seconds, unless u changed it in the latest build, but as of tuesday it was off.

I'll add Harpoon soon.

A warning as to when burning bile/paralytic toxin are casted would be excessive with the already existing alerts. Healers should already know when these are casted when they see the debuff on their raid frames, since they stare at them a majority of the fight. And people of interest to clear other person's debuffs are notified by arrow.

Must say amazing addon, trialing it for the guild atm as a complete replacement for bigwigs, noticed 2 things missing that we would like any chance of them being added, namely the timers for the Harpoons on Razorscale, and any chance of warnings coming up either as a bar on in the warning pane when multiple people get affected by something ie burning bile on Acidmaw/Dreadscale in ToC, as a DPS i wouldnt care about it, but as a healer its very useful to get text warnings about things like this so we can move the healing around quickly.

Any chance of adding the sara scream as one of the available sound effects?

Hi,
I use the german wow client and I have the following Problem, when typing /dxe Abstand
Locales.lua:
L["proximity"] = "Abstand"

Core.lua:
local cmd = msg:match("[^ ]*"):lower()
...
elseif cmd == L["proximity"] then
addon:Proximity()

Because of the toLowerCase-convert I can not open the proximity Window. This Problem maybe occurs in other languages, too. Maybe add the lower()-Method at
elseif cmd == L["proximity"] then

Download v373-beta. I think there was an upgrade problem in CBH. I'm not completely sure it'll fix it.

It's fixed now. I'm going to package tagged libs from now on instead of the latest alphas.

My Scorchio (Mage Addon that tracks living bomb etc) doesn't work with the latest version of DXE. The Scorchio bars don't fade when I'm OOC or when they expire. Without DXE enabled it works correctly, however. What can be causing this?

Penetrating cooldown has been added, and a warning for when it hits you as well. The cooldown will only appear while Anub has Leeching Swarm active.

Meant when it hits you, not the names of the raid.

Penetrating cold is almost always up and on 5 people at once on 25-man. That would be overkill. Get gridstatusraiddebuff for things like that imo.

This healer desperately needs a warning for Mistress's Kiss on Jaraxxus heroic. See: http://www.wowhead.com/?search=mistress#uncategorized-spells

The latest alpha should compile properly and the slash commands have been removed temporarily. You'll have to click the minimap icon or use a data broker display to manually load DXE.

Edit: Slash commands are back in

Hello. I've been using DXE for a few weeks now and have encountered a bug with the newer releases. When I log in with DXE (and all of it's modules) loaded, my /dxe does not respond in the chat box. This means that without the minimap icon enabled, I am unable to load DXE and I have to delete the WTF saved variables so that the minimap icon is, by default, enabled. Even once DXE is enabled (by pushing the minimap icon), slash commands in the chat box still do not work.

He wants the option of redirecting warnings not to /rw, but to a custom channel, like their healing channel for example.
