I get a lot of questions on how to create A sound for Maelstrom Weapon Stacks. In my opinion it is a nice helper in norder to not have to watch buffbars all the time and get full focus on the encounter.

At first I chose a fast mp3 sound that I will definitely not ever hear ingame and it will thus be easy to differ from other sounds. I created a folder named “Audio” inside the “Interface\Addons” Folder. For example on my pc the full path is: “C:\Games\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\Audio” and the file name “laser.mp3″

There are lots of files to choose, but I think Soundbible.com has a suitable Laser or Laser Blaster sound.

It is quite easy to add a sound like that to SCT – Scrolling Combat Text – by creating a custom Event. Just open the options menu, select SCT Custom Event, create “New Event”.

In the next Window enter the Values below:

• Name: Maelstrom Gain
• Event Type: Aura Gains
• Display: *1
• Target: Player
• Search: Maelstrom Weapon
• Wave Sound: Interface\AddOns\Audio\laser.mp3
  the location is relative to your WoW Folder
• Aura Count: 5
• Make Critical

and then “Save Event”

This is all, your sound should now be working, have fun! An example YouTube Video is here:
