Does the rest of the raid need NECB and AQWarner if MT broadcasts?

I'll use NECB and AQWarner ; in theory the MT should be able to broadcast to the raid but do the other members need to have it as well. or is it that for receiving the bars? Basically will they get anything without having the mod installed?

Thanks!

They won't get timer bar's if thats what you are asking. I know LaVendetta(Basically an improved PvE NECB) will broadcast warnings into RA, but they just come across as regular raid warnings. IE: "5 Second to Claw Spawn"

Personally, I like having timer bars up (albiet they are not always accurate) to give me a better feel of when something is expiring/occuring.

There is no requirement for the entire raid to get the mod to work tho. Just only those with it will have the slick interface. Everyone else will just get the text announces.

It's incredibly handy to have a bar constantly on your screen giving each individual the ability to say, "I need 12 seconds to duck out instead of 10," for example, or "Here's *exactly* when the banishes are coming up, I didn't need to count 1-mississippi 2... in my head."

Yes I understand, but I have a second question though: how many to use? Only one like NECB (or LaVendetta?) 'Cause right now I dled those two, but also AqWarner and still CT Boss mod on...I am afraid not to spam the raid tonight in AQ lol

Pick one and stay with it, having more can lead to some bad spamming.

So LaVendettta per example (and I would also have to take CT boss mod off, right?)

I would take it off just because you had it once and you might have enabled some and in the future you might run into occasions where both will activate and spam, bad idea. Besides, you don't need CT Boss Mods anymore. In my experience La Vendetta does a better job anyway, having CT Boss Mods would be completely redundant.

Im pretty content with La Vendetta.

Does LeVendetta give non-raid casting bars (ala NECB) like npcs casting heals etc?

No, raid timer bars; and some well known spells like shadow flame / polarity shift. I dont think it responds to a totally new spell check like spellalert does.
