When changing Talents, way to STOP the output to chat window?

I don’t know who finds this useful. You changed your Talents, you know what’s going on there.

In the window options, there is a check box for “Other: System Messages.” and I think that might turn it off. But I don’t want to exclude something I ACTUALLY might want.

Or is there a better way? I don’t need 44 lines of spam telling me I switched Talents.

Still would very much like an answer to this. Anyone know? :slight_smile:

“System messages” does indeed turn it off, but it turns off other things as well (such as /roll). It’s annoying, and I would also like a way to turn off the talent change spam every time I swap specs.

Thanks for that update. I wasn’t sure but … yeah, losing /roll when you’re an active raider is kind of a deal breaker.

The micro-solution, I guess, would be to make another chat window JUST for system messages …

.but cmon, this should just WORK. Does anyone really need 40+ lines of spam telling them what talents were just changed?? I can’t imagine that wall of text getting posted to the chat window and someone saying “omg… that’s not right! One of those talents is off!!”

lol It just needs disabled. It doesn’t help anything.

I look at it everytime I am significantly changing my talents lol. Maybe if you are picking each talent yourself you know what you are losing and gaining, but when I am using a template, all of that is automatic. Its nice to know what I dont have any more and what I do without having to individually check through my spellbook and talent tree.

I figured most people at max just used templates lol. Why would I struggle to come up with a good talent build when a hundred other people have done all the hard work and simmed exactly which talents give the best DPS in certain situations.

We do. Even if you custom build. In my case:

Outdoor
SingleTarget/Raid
AoE/Raid
AoE/M+

And I just pick which one I want, per situation I’m in. So I KNOW what’s coming… the output spam to the chat window is ENTIRELY useless.

edit to add: and I’m at least admitting maybe SOMEONE finds that spam useful. That’s fine. That’s why the output should be a TOGGLE. Allow us to turn it off if we don’t need it (cause 99.99999% won’t).
