WoW Addons: Epic Hunter Sounds

World of Warcraft is a great MMORPG, but it’s dated and it shows. The new character animations that came in Legion are great, but I’ve always been more of a sound kinda guy, so I find that adding a frivolous amount of custom sound effects to events and abilities can really spice up the dusty game.

HOW TO ADD YOUR OWN SOUNDS

There are several ways to attach custom sounds to events and abilities. The easiest way is to use the TellMeWhen addon:

 

This addon has a huge amount of features, and can be overwhelming to try and figure out, but it’s definitely worth the effort, because you can track almost anything with it.

Basic idea is to create a new icon, that will show on “succesfful cast” combat event, and play a custom sound when that happens. You don’t actually need the icon to show up, so check “always hidden” checkbox. 

WeakAuras is a popular alternative that can do this as well.

SOUND REPOSITORY

Burst activation and deactivation sounds

Sound\Spells\SPELL_InfraredHeatFocals_On_01.ogg
Sound\Spells\SPELL_InfraredHeatFocals_Off_01.ogg

These are stored in WoW files, so you don’t need to download them, just use these sound paths in TellMeWhen.

This is just an example of what I’m using. I encourage all of you to seek your own custom sounds that would make your gameplay more epic and unique.

      1. So, I’m using the Kill Command custom sound, but when I use the ability it uses the original kill command sound AND the new one I added from here.

          1. oh okay. Thanks. I thought it replaced the sounds. I guess it’s still better than the default lol

  1. The Barrage addon isn’t working for me. I’m guessing it’s because of the BfA code changes; any chance of an update? Thanks!

    1. I’m having the same problem myself, and couldn’t find a quick fix. I’ll try again when I start playing WoW again, no telling when that happens, though.

      1. I know what you mean, I haven’t actually bought the expac yet haha. Thanks for the quick reply, I’ll keep checking back.
