I have a question:Can I trigger custom scripts on activation of boss mechanics?I wanted to start countdown: /dbm broadcast timer 20 on particular boss mechanic to coordinate raid reaction. Is it possible?
Comment by Seldomane
I was hoping to find an answer to really a specific question. I’m using Arnold Schwartznegger voice mod for DBM and I love it, EXCEPT for one particular thing. When I tank and I’m told to taunt, the sound is a super loud crashing and yelling sound, I hate it and I can’t change it or turn it down. I don’t even know what that particular ability is called in DBM, so I don’t know how to change it. This is a decent guide but either there are still many unanswered questions or DBM lacks many (what I would consider obvious) edit-able features.

Configuring Special Warnings
«Type 1 is generic warning or «debuff on you». Type 2 is aoe warning such as «aoe damage incoming», «aoe fear incoming» etc that are important but not something that is individual responsibility and more of a watch out warning. Type 3 is the VERY Important warning that means «do this or you’re going to die» or «this is a raid wiping mechanic if you don’t interrupt/do this». Type 4 is the «run away» type that means «you need to run and keep running to get/stay safe». Type 5 is the type that only fires if you enter your name into the Notes Feature. Each type has it’s own flash, sound, and repeat options.»

Timer Bars
- Tanks can see when deadly tank mechanics are due to take place, allowing them to plan their defensive abilities and be more efficient with resources.
- Healers can better decide on using or saving large healing cooldowns to increase the survivability, as using a strong ability at the wrong time can be the difference between a kill and a wipe.
- Damage dealers can plan ahead by saving cooldowns or resources for extra enemy spawns or times when the boss is vulnerable for maximum DPS. Staying alive is also important, so knowing when to use a defensive ability can prevent you from dying, especially on higher level M+ and affixes such as Tyrannical.
