I know about "dismiss pet".


I know about "respec arcane/fire".


I know about "disable all sound effects".


I know about "unsubscribe".


I tried the option to disable pet sounds, but it doesn't affect "drain boy".


I've only been playing this mage two days; please someone tell me how to turn off the noise, before I have to call out a plumber.

Flexing my google sk33lz:

[NOTE THAT ALL FOLDERS AND FILES ARE CASE SENSITIVE!]

Step 1: File Structure

Go to your World of Warcraft/Data folder, check for a folder named "Sound" if no folder exists make one.

Now go inside the Sound folder you created (or if one already existed) now you are going to make another folder inside Sound named "Creature" (If for any reason one already existed leave it) go into your Creature folder.

Now the last folder you will make will be "WaterElemental"

Your folder structure should now look like this: World of Warcraft/Data/Sound/Creature/WaterElemental

......................................

Step 2: Creating the File

This part is extremely simple, open up notepad, go to file/save as, save the file with the name "WaterElementalLoop.wav", save it where ever you like (also you must put the .wav after the name).

Now just move your new wave file into your WaterElemental folder, enjoy!

......................................

All hail the mighty google.

to be honest, at least one drawback should this FOTM-class suffer!

How is mage FOTM? Mage has been ridiculous 1-button DPS for quite some time now. Through most of ICC it was all mass AB spam with a few Arcane Missiles thrown in for good measure...

As a first week Vanilla pre-molton core frost mage, I resemble that remark!

I was going to suggest they dismiss the pet, but I went ahead and read the original post.

Ursa's google-revealed method gave me an idea. I think I will hack Blizzard's updater and replace the shamans' lightning bolt sound with that LARP guy saying "lightning bolt."

Played with the wav file for my DK's charger over the summer and now it makes a cow sound when I mount and the opening bars from the Olympic Fanfare and Theme (John Williams) music when I dismount. 'cuz DK's are just that awesome <straightface>


And thanks to CapFan, who found the location of the Horn of Plenty for me, I was able to play around with several Looney Toons style Cartoon sounds for it.
