With all the effort going into consolidation, could we get chat filters looked at?

    The filters for chat are pretty confusing and could really use a rework. Why are most raid emotes under "other" while a few are under emote? Raid emotes should have their own filter. Likewise, certain very minor regen effects get lumped into the same filters with real HoTs. I might have missed a way to do this, but I'd also like to be able to get only non-pet NPC spells as a filter.

    This is kind of a pipe dream, but I'd love to have some sort of customizable filter, eg I could add phrases to it and it would pick only them up.

    Agreed! I would love to be able to filter the "DoT damage" effect from lich spells separately from offensive DoT damage.

    Been asking for updates to filters for probably 14 years so far, but here's hoping.....

    I can support this idea............

    but while were chasing the pipe dream can we add filtering options to simplify and organize our spell books ??

    Simply let us make our own. Regexp filters for a chat window would be awesome.

    Would love to be able to separate out more of my own spells while still logging others. Right now the Filters->Spells->Mine is basically a catch-all for everything related to: heals on you, heals you cast, dots you cast, dots others cast, and NPC spells. This is way too much for a single filter.

    Would be so amazing! .... "Other" springs to mind :mad:

    Don't forget about the chat messages we still can't control color of. Love all the forced red error messages that half the time I can't read!

    Add a spell filter for spell reflects for others, really does my head in on Crypt decay 2!
    Some of the melee specials need to have their own filters, the rogue throwing one springs to mind.
