PetAlert - Combat Pet Alert (Warlock Felguard, DK Ghoul, Hunter, Frost Mage)

There is nothing more frustrating in World of Warcraft than engaging a difficult boss or entering a high-stakes PvP match only to realize your primary damage dealer is missing. For players who rely heavily on summoned companions, a momentary lapse in attention can cost valuable DPS, interrupt rotation flow, or even lead to an untimely defeat. This is where PetAlert - Combat Pet Alert (Warlock Felguard, DK Ghoul, Hunter, Frost Mage) becomes an indispensable tool for your user interface. Designed with precision and efficiency in mind, this addon ensures you never enter combat without your essential partner by providing clear, instant visual feedback.

Why Every Pet Class Needs Instant Feedback

In the heat of battle, your focus should be on mechanics, cooldowns, and positioning, not glancing at unit frames to check if your Felguard is still alive. Whether you are grinding dungeons in Classic, raiding in Wrath of the Lich King, or pushing high keys in Retail, the margin for error is slim. PetAlert solves this by monitoring your specific class requirements and triggering large, readable alerts the moment something goes wrong. It detects if your pet is missing, has died, was dismissed, or if you have simply summoned the wrong creature for your current specialization.

The addon is incredibly lightweight, utilizing event-driven updates rather than heavy combat log scanning. This means it consumes minimal CPU resources while delivering maximum visibility exactly when you need it. Furthermore, it intelligently hides all alerts while you are mounted, preventing unnecessary screen clutter during travel.

Supported Classes and Specializations

PetAlert automatically detects your class and spec to provide tailored warnings. The supported configurations include:

• Warlock (Demonology): Monitors for the presence of the Felguard.
• Death Knight (Unholy): Ensures your Ghoul is active and fighting.
• Hunter: Verifies that any combat pet is summoned and active.
• Mage (Frost): Checks for the Water Elemental when applicable.

If you switch to one of these monitored specializations without the required pet active, the addon immediately notifies you, allowing you to summon your companion before pulling threat.

Advanced Alert Features and Customization

Beyond simply telling you when your pet is gone, PetAlert - Combat Pet Alert (Warlock Felguard, DK Ghoul, Hunter, Frost Mage) for World of Warcraft offers a suite of features to keep your companion in peak condition. One of the most critical functions is the Low HP Alert. You can configure a health threshold, defaulting to 25%, which triggers a visual warning when your pet is in danger. This is vital for tanks and DPS alike, giving you the split-second reaction time needed to use Mend Pet or defensive cooldowns. Note that on modern clients where health values are protected by Blizzard, these alerts remain visual-only to prevent Lua errors.

Another common issue is accidentally leaving your pet on Passive mode, which results in zero damage output. PetAlert detects this state during combat and displays a specific alert until you correct the behavior, ensuring you never lose DPS due to a simple setting error.

For those who prefer a streamlined installation process, the foxygame.net launcher offers a seamless way to manage your addons. By using this launcher, you can install PetAlert - Combat Pet Alert (Warlock Felguard, DK Ghoul, Hunter, Frost Mage) with a single click, bypassing manual file extraction and ensuring you always have the version compatible with your specific game client, whether it is Cataclysm, MoP, or the latest Retail expansion.

Configurable Health Bar and Options

The addon also includes an optional, movable pet health bar. This clean companion frame displays live health percentages and can be customized in terms of width, height, and RGB color. It is designed to work safely with modern API restrictions, offering a reliable alternative to default unit frames without replacing them entirely.

All settings are accessible via the standard configuration panel found under Game Menu > Options > AddOns > PetAlert. Here, you can:

• Enable or disable specific alert types individually.
• Adjust the Low HP threshold percentage.
• Move, lock, or reset the position of every alert element.
• Switch to a minimal icon-only mode for less screen obstruction.
• Preview alerts in real-time to perfect your layout.
