GTFO: Stop standing in fire!
Supported Versions: Retail, Classic
GTFO provides an audible alert when you're standing in something you're not supposed to be standing in. In some cases, you'll be warned before you start taking damage. This mod improves your situational awareness and is recommended for dungeon divers and raiders of all skill levels as even the most seasoned veteran sometimes needs a reminder to GTFO.
It's particularly useful for individuals that play with their spell graphics turned down as well as assisting with PvP when you can't tell who's casting the AOE.
Important Announcement: As with any new expansion or content patch, there may be alerts that are untested as well as encounter changes from Beta/PTR. Bug reports are highly appreciated!

Usage
Install and you're ready to go.
You can configure the mod by typing "/gtfo options" or by navigating to Options->Interface->AddOns->GTFO.
To use the "Play sounds when muted" option and still hear GTFO sounds, your "Master Volume" slider must be set to a value higher than 0%.
Weak Auras Integration
GTFO can be set up with Weak Auras to provide visual alerts in addition to (or in lieu of) the audible alerts.
- Install the Weak Auras addon
- Type "/wa" in game to bring up the Weak Auras menu
- Click "Texture", "Text", or "Icon"
- Click the "Trigger" tab
- Change the "Type" to "Event"
- Change the "Event" to "GTFO Alert"
- Check "Alert Type" and select a GTFO alert type
- Set a short number (like .1) in Duration
- Use the other configuration options to fine-tune your alert
Power Auras Integration
GTFO can be set up with Power Auras to provide visual alerts in addition to (or in lieu of) the audible alerts.
- Install the Power Auras Classic addon
- Type "/powa" in game to bring up the Power Auras menu
- Click "Page 1" to create a character-only alert or "Global 1" to create an account-wide alert
- Click "new" to create a new alert
- Change the dropdown value for "Activation By:" to "GTFO Alert"
- Select your alert type: High/Low/Fail/Friendly Fire
- Use the other configuration options to fine-tune your alert
Recount/Skada Integration
GTFO can be set up with Recount or Skada to provide detailed statistical information of alerts.
A word of caution: the damage amount displayed on GTFO Alerts may not be fully indicative of the total damage done, especially with fail alerts. For example: if you're hit by a tornado, the damage and fail alert from the tornado picking you up could be 5k, but the fall damage when you hit the ground afterwards is 100k. The amount recorded by Recount/Skada will be 5k.
I am getting alerts as the off tank for giant fists, is there anyway to disable giant fists notification or have it track that I am tank spec and I should be taking giant fists?
In reply to Krlex:
I've been trying to figure out this issue. Do you happen to be a Blood DK? Is your loot specialization set to something different as well?
In reply to Zensunim:
Happens on my prot warrior even when I'm in prot loot spec
In reply to Krlex:
This is getting worse then. I'm just going to disable Giant Fists as an alert for now until I can figure out what caused this one alert to be all messed up...
Is this the only alert that fails to recognize you're a tank? No issues with other things like false warnings when Lord Stavros does an Evasive Lunge or Gruesome Cleave from Necrotic Wake?
In reply to Zensunim:
So far this is the only one that I have noticed
Looks like I cant open the wow menue/marcos/talk to vendors while I'm still in combat because of GTFO. Is there a fix? Or am I just not seeing a settings option?
In reply to DarkVoice_:
It's the taint from LibUIDropDownMenu unfortunately. GTFO doesn't do any hooks or make UI changes during combat, so it's likely another addon is causing the issue but GTFO is getting blamed because it's loading this shared library first.
I'm going to be recoding it to remove the dependency on Ace completely.
In reply to DarkVoice_:
New version removes the external libraries that are typically responsible for the various taint issues.
Still do have the modified Mark at curseforge
In reply to foxthedog23:
You will need to reinstall GTFO to clear this error, unfortunately. The new client is buggy and won't resolve this on its own.
Yes Yes You did it!!!! THANK YOU :D
New version hopefully should fix the "addon is corrupted" issue.
Same here..... deleted and reinstalled but it doesnt fix it
In reply to YaraLynnYL:
Damn you CurseForge! I'll see if I can figure out what's going on. :(
Same for me. has been doing it since last update. Have uninstalled/reinstalled, cleared settings and its fine as soon as you download it but the next time you open curseforge to get updates says it's modified or corrupt"
I'm also having this happen.
As a vision-impaired player, this add-on allows me to continue playing. I appreciate it more than words can say!
This is the same for me.
In reply to SomethingElemental:
same and ive tried using the older files and it doesnt seem to work
Just a heads up - Curse forge is marking GTFO with a "modified or corrupt" exclamation point warning when i view my installed addons. I reinstalled and even cleared settings and was unable to remove it. Anyway I really like GTFO, thanks for all your work.
4.5.9 isn't giving those LibUIDropDownMenu errors for me anymore.
