About GTFO
Stop standing in fire!
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!
Features
- 4 distinct audible alerts for different types of damage
- High Alert - Dungeon/raid encounter AOE that you want to get out of it ASAP
- Low Alert - PvP and low damage AOE, use your best judgment whether or not to move
- Fail Alert - AOE you should have moved out of the way of, but it's too late (e.g. KZ void zone, Sindragosa bomb)
- Friendly Fire Alert - AOE radiating from a teammate's body, one of you needs to move
- Tuned for dungeons and raids in original vanilla WoW, Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, Cataclysm, and Mists of Pandaria
- Alert you before you start taking damage (when possible, in some cases)
- Alert you during vehicle fights when your vehicle is in danger (e.g. Malygos, Flame Leviathan)
- Tank and non-tank specific alerts
- Visual alerts available when used with Weak Auras or Power Auras Classic (optional)
- Statistical information of alerts when used with Recount or Skada (optional)
- GTFO-specific volume slider
- Small memory footprint and very little CPU usage
- Option to ignore alerts for trivial content
- Option to auto-unmute sounds if you play without sound on

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.

GTFO 4.12 now has the ability to mute the "Watery Entrenchment" spell if you use the strategy that requires you to stand in it.
I'm not able to do heroic mode, but I tested it out in LFR and it seemed to work there.
Could you please remove Watery Entrenchment? Our strategy has ranged/casters/healers stand in middle during ice phase.
For LFR?
Good news is that I got the option available now. Bad news is that the servers shut down before I was able to finish testing. I'll have something posted very shortly.
After much research, it looks like the only way I'm going to be able to tell if you're using the strat or not is to implement some sort of whitelist system where it says "ignore warnings for X"...
Of course, this is also a very unique case so maybe it'll be better served with a single toggle option instead of programming in an entire whitelist system.
I should have something ready to go soon.
The strategy was from Vox Immortalis. During the frost phase all ranged/casters/healers stand in the middle under Hagara after the Ice walls come out and we get healed through Watery Entrenchment. It has to be 3 healed this way (Watery Entrenchment does do its reported damage but its not deadly), however the frost phase is a lot faster and the mechanics become more trivial. Melee/tanks still run around the outside. You could make it so it activates the warning sound at first, but not repeated if this is a option with the coding, but the continued loud buzzing the entire phase is very distracting.
Hmm, this will be an interesting challenge on how to handle this as in most situations, that stuff is deadly. Help me understand a bit how this strategy works... are you guys able to just heal through the 15% damage per second? Or do you kill the pylons so quickly the you only need healers to buy you a few extra seconds? Or does the Watery Entrenchment not do as much damage as it's claiming on the tooltip?
No, for heroic mode 10 man.
This addon is essential for mellee dps, it has saved my frost DK from dying horribly on more occasions than I can count, for the simple reason that it DOES give an alert BEFORE you start taking damage quite often.
Awesome add on. :)
Hi I downloaded the addon but I don't see any installer. How do I install?
There are two ways to install WoW addons:
Please include [Deck Fire] from Warmaster Blackhorn heroic.
Thankyou
Thanks for the info. It will be added in the next version.
I <3 this addon. Thank you so much!
