Then i have a window with a "general" tab thats NPC tells (convos with them), spatial chat, generic non-caught elsewhere stuff, one with "spam" which is all the OTHER combat spam thats not caught in the single window of my outbound stuff, I have a tab for loot drops, since people in groups tend to ask who got what from time to time plus I like to know too.. I have another window with just guild/group/raid/PC tells in it, each with a different color.  I change the default channel I type to according to what I am doing, if in a group it defaults there, otherwise guild.. if I am in a raid, and need to be able to readily chat there I switch it to there.   When I dont need to readily chat there (usually only when I am the mt on my low end guardian on city prestige raids) I tend to leave it as group so I dont spam up the raid channel with stuff that really isn't relavant.. even when I am a healer in a raid I try to not spam stuff up, its too easy to distract people or obscure critical stuff the MT/MA needs to get across to everyone. </span><div></div>

<DIV>I'm not a raider yet (only level 21), but I only have two chat windows currently. I have a chat window for all chat, and then the other chat window is for everything else.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>What I'd like to see is that you can send the same text to two different windows. The reason being is that I avoid tabs because I don't want to "not" be able to see the text. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>What I would like to do is on my Combat/Spam window have multiple tabs for the different things you've already discussed (My Attacks/Misses...Others Attacks/Misses...Mobs Hitting Me....Mobs Hitting Others) and then I want another Tab to hold all of this. So that I can stay in the BIG tab and switch tabs when I'm worried about what my damage is.</DIV>

<DIV>I got all chat in top left box, all hits/spells casted on me on top of the screen, and  anything thats happening in the game in a third window (such as blabla has died, etc). You can open a box temporarily to see if u hit mobs or whatever, but eventually you should know by memory or have written down what is immune to what, so you no longer need that box imo. Usually tanks don't have a tough time keeping aggro and the raids are not very hectic, so you can leave the full 4 group raid window open wide too. Anyway, gl.</DIV>

<P>I've got a chatbox for tells. (primarily because I get so damned many)</P> <P>A chatbox for damage done to me, heals, and dmg dealt by me to check immunities.</P> <P>A chatbox for all of the other chat spam.</P> <P> </P> <P>Don't need anything else if you ask me. If you want to see how much damage the reast of the raid is doing, look up. <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P>Message Edited by AwesomeSauce on <SPAN class=date_text>09-01-2005</SPAN> <SPAN class=time_text>10:46 AM</SPAN></P><p>Message Edited by AwesomeSauce on <span class=date_text>09-02-2005</span> <span class=time_text>03:09 AM</span>
