Warlocks got Dark Intent at 85, which is a bit like Focus Magic, except Blizzard thought it great to add a sound to it every time it procs (which is every 2-3 seconds). It's superannoying (and yes, I need my sounds, I play with them, sue me).
Is there anyone who could help me shut it up, either by silencing the sound file somehow or by coming up with this amazing addon?
I did something once where I opened a file, maybe a dat file or something, cant remember. I had to use a special program to open the file. Then I replaced the .wav file for a sound that was bugging me with a new .wav file with the same name, only this new .wav file was silence.
i searched google for a guide but it was a long time ago and my details could be sketchy
It's pretty much a guessing game. If you get WinMPQ you can look through Blizzard's Sound.MPQ file in the Data directory. There's about 11,000 files, if you can find the one that Dark Intent uses you can make a blank sound file to put into your WoW folder and it will use it instead. Blizzard doesn't have a sound named Dark Intent or anything close, and I youtube'd Dark Intent to hear how it sounds but I couldn't match it up with anything sorry.

Sure, will do. I don't know when I'll have the time, because between studying for my exams and wanting to play the game, I'm unsure when I'll be able to dig through it. However, I'll let you know. If there's no word from me in 2 weeks, I failed.
