[Feral] The art of a Kitten: PvE guide

[Themessiah]

I've relied on this addon since Wotlk. The only fix available for now is to disable in game sound. I did that for last nights raid. The problem is that there has been a change (bug or intended unknown) to the way in which sound is handled in game - in game sound now takes prio over addon sounds. This means that in raids, where there are a great many sounds all happening at once, hearkitty will rarely be heard. Afaik, this is something that the addon developers are powerless to fix on their end. From the hear kitty developer:

"The problems with Hear Kitty not making sounds are unfortunately related to a bug in patch 5.3 and do not seem to be anything that I can fix. Any other addon that makes sounds, like DBM, suffers the same problems. In the meantime, the only fix is to press Ctrl+S to turn off regular game sounds. (Make sure the "Control Hear Kitty sound volume the same as in-game sounds" checkbox is off, too. It's off by default.)

The game will prioritize spell effect sounds over Hear Kitty's sounds, so in a large raid environment you never hear Hear Kitty or other addons as of 5.3."

Brief test on dummies this morning would indicate that while the initial application of thrash does crit, the actual dot damage does not. This is for feral dps.

Realm restart, lets hope for hotfix (eu)

no fix yet : ( mine still doesnt crit

I though my thrash dmg was a bit low, never even looked at the crits from it.

There was some hotfixes to the sounds in game.
Maybe this will fix your add-on

"Sound effects should no longer be cut out in areas with a large number of ambient sounds.
Fixed an issue where some sounds were not playing correctly during boss fights.
Fixed an issue where the raid warning sound was not playing correctly."

Our mage was getting a bit surprised that dbm did not say anything when we did jin'rokh hc...................... fun times ;P

[Macor]

was fun on mageara and Jin not even 1 dbm warning/countdown works ingame even with game sounds lowered to 0 or disabled still hearing only TS but well makes you keep track on timers/buffs/debuffs full time.

Mine just started critting, right in the middle of a heroic. I got a reply from a GM saying i was wrong and nothing was broken, so i linked the blue post :P

Does anyone know if there is a reforge tool that accounts for upgrades? I have not been able to get Wow-Reforge to use the extra stats from my upgrades and the tool posted on Fluid Druid wasn't working for me, it was unable to get the stats I currently have.

Catus is your friend: http://fluiddruid.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4574.

That's what I tried to use. I kept getting an error when I tried to reforge my gear.

Edit: Every time I try to use Catus I get "Found Zero Solutions. Try relaxing hit/exp requirements" I am clearly hit and exp capped, and I'm Over each cap. Not sure what I'm doing wrong or need to do to get catus to work.

Register on the site and post the problem, the developer of the program will gladly help you i'm sure.

"Found Zero Solutions. Try relaxing hit/exp requirements" means that there is no possible way to get your Hit and Exp inside the ranges specified in the interface. If your settings say "Hit At-least 2550, Exp At-least 2550, Range 100" that means Hit = [2550, 2650] and Exp = [2550, 2650]. Catus is smart enough to adjust the "2550" to your lowest possible hit automatically, however for you gear, if you have "Crit > Haste" checked or don't allow Catus to change your gems, the lowest possible Hit is 2677 (which is outside the 2550-2650 range.)

The easiest thing to do is change the "Range" to something like "250". Which expands the search to [2550, 2800].

As mentioned above, if you have issues, just make a post at the FluidDruid in my Catus thread, as I'm not very active on this forum.
