Mistress Sassz'ine, SayCountdown() and Shadow Priests

This encounter is probably the first one where Voidform is giving me a headache. My guild, and, I assume, many others, are using a strategy where a WA string assigns people to soak a certain mark's Hydra Shot. The thing is, it is very hard to see a raid mark behind a chat bubble. Normally, it is not a problem, because the chat bubble contains the mark. But Shadow Priests' chat bubbles do more harm than good, especially so if you have more than one in your raid group. So I was wondering if you think it's a good idea to just silence a message coming from SayCountdown() if Voidform is present, for this boss at least.

Man, I am not playing Shadow myself. :/

I can make a patch myself, but I want to know if it's a welcome change in the upstream.

Have you considered rerolling to a better class?

I rather have some say warning displayed than none as an indicator something is happening even if you cannot see the icon (since they still have a raid icon above their head). But feel free to share it with your guild's shadow priests if that is what you prefer!

Well, my patch leaves the initial say message as is: https://github.com/BigWigsMods/BigWigs/pull/342/files#diff-8d397082e7b6a98d80ad1eff2f35a628R186

(since they still have a raid icon above their head)

They do but chat bubbles overlap with those and it makes it harder to see them.

Unfortunately, that would require me to make a patched version each time a new version of BigWigs releases. I worked around this by making a WA string that makes SayCountdown() point to a modified function because importing it once is just easier. I also shared it on wago.io, and it currently has 900 views, so I'd say there are quite a few people who prefer this behaviour. I'm not sure if links to external resources are welcome here, but if you're curious, that WA is easily google-able.
