Hey Fury Warriors! Ever miss a slam proc? 

How about you Affliction Warlocks? Notice nightfall fell off your combat text and you didn’t get a free SB? Well, Not anymore. 

Not anymore for anyone who has proc based attacks.  This is one of the two add-ons that I recommend 100% of players to use.  The other being grid, but that is neither here nor there.  Event Alert is a lightweight tool that gives both a visual and audio warning when you get a proc.  The sounds can be changed with a pretty decent number of options.  You can also change the position and size of the visual warning.  The warning itself is an icon just like the attack that proced.

So you finally took my advice and downloaded it.  Let’s take a look at some configurations.  First you won’t be able to access the menu from interface, start by typing /ea opt.  Here is what you will see.

Fairly simple menu let’s take a look at some of the options. 

Here we see the options for icon settings.  The “Lock Frame” box will allow you to position your alerts.  I hope I don’t need to explain the icon size and spacing. Open “Show/ Hide Alert Frame” this is how you’ll see changed made on this menu.  I recommend opening this first so you aren’t making changes in the dark. 

That’s it. Just adjust the size and spacing according to your choice of flavor .

Clicking the “Show/ Hide Class Alerts” will open this menu.  Again it’s pretty straight forward.  If you have things such as haste procs that don’t directly effect your rotation you can turn them off to relieve some of the sounds and clutter.

And my personal favorite is Sound Alerts.

Easy enough right?  Choose what you want to proc and what sound you want to make.  Personally I like the epic Pirate YAAAARRR.
