SpellActivationOverlay

General

Options Panel

The class name is displayed at one place in the options panel, instead of each time for each spell alert and each glowing button.

Classes

Mage

Removed Glowing Buttons

• Ice Lance*, during Fingers of Frost
• Deep Freeze*, during Fingers of Frost

* These buttons are already glowing by the game client. Please note, it only concerns Fingers of Frost. Ice Lance and Deep Freeze will continue to glow for the Freeze debuff, because the game client does not glow Ice Lance nor Deep Freeze in this case.

Priest

New Spell Alert

• Serendipity*

* The Serendipity texture used is Cataclysm is now used for the Divine Insight effect, which matches the reference client of Mists of Pandaria. Another texture has been selected for the Serendipity effect in Mists of Pandaria.

New Glowing Button

• Holy Word: Chastise**

** This button is disabled by default. Its intended use is for damage Priests who want to cast HW:Chastise on cooldown and don't know when the cooldown is reset thanks to Chakra: Chastise.

Warlock

The Warlock class is now fully supported for Mists of Pandaria!

New Spell Alerts

• Eye of Kilrogg
• Nightfall*
• Soulburn**
• Molten Core***
• Demonic Rebirth
• Backlash***
• Fire and Brimstone**

New Glowing Buttons

• Drain Soul, when the target has 20% health of less
• Incinerate**, during Backdraft
• Chaos Bolt**, during Backdraft
• Incinerate**, during Fire and Brimstone
• Immolate**, during Fire and Brimstone
• Conflagrate**, during Fire and Brimstone
• Curse of the Elements**, during Fire and Brimstone
• Curse of Enfeeblement**, during Fire and Brimstone

* Nightfall no longer grants a free instant Shadow Bolt. Therefore, there is no Glowing Button for Nightfall in Mists of Pandaria.

** Disabled by default to remove clutter.

*** Switches to the green version if the Warlock has switched to Fel-infused spells.

Warrior

The Warrior class is now fully supported for Mists of Pandaria!

New Spell Alerts

• Victory Rush
• Taste for Blood
• Sudden Death
• Bloodsurge
• Sword and Board
• Ultimatum

New Glowing Buttons

• Overpower*, during Taste for Blood
• Victory Rush*, during Victorious
• Impending Victory, during Victorious

* Overpower and Victory Rush were already supported, but as a counter. Now they are based on buffs instead. They also have spell alerts now. If these overlays are popular enough, they might end up in other flavors as well.

Removed Glowing Buttons**

• Execute
• Revenge

** These buttons already glow natively in Mists of Pandaria

Bug Fixes

Mage

The Freeze effect would always glow Ice Lance and Deep Freeze. Options for their respective buttons have been added.

Shaman

Animations of Fulmination are now on par with other animations.

Shamans should no longer get invited to report unsupported effect Maelstrom.

Warrior

Warriors should no longer get invited to report the following unsupported effects:

• Sudden Death
• Bloodsurge
• Sword and Board
• Ultimatum

Miscellaneous

Overlays are never displayed after 60 seconds of leaving combat, up from 30 seconds.

Developer's Note: The 30-second limit was introduced a while ago as a security against infinite overlays, especially Mage's Heating Up which had no duration in Wrath of the Lich King. Since then, the new combat-only feature has been introduced to mitigate these situations, and should be favored over the 30-second limit. A maximum duration is still kept 'just in case', but it is set to a longer time to allow out-of-combat effects that last for more than 30 seconds, such as Warlock's Eye of Kilrogg.
