It means Screen Space Ambient Occlusion (SSAO).
It has to do with lighting and is probably another way to kill our framerate for marginal visual benefit :P

According to the code, it seems to be set to a lower value the higher your settings are (low = 2, high = 1).

Have the secure templates/handlers changed at all in 5.0? I keep expecting snippets nerfed due to their ability to easily /castrandom. But at the same time it seems absolutely important (more important!) for a snippet to choose a spell based on the last one loaded or on a variable, so we can do toggle abilities and stuff.

Curious if item:id format has changed also? It's changed every expansion so far (gems in BC, level in WotLK, reforge in cata). Did they put tinker into the item id in MoP?

Also I gave a guildmate a macro to test COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED results and it appears they've changed. Anyone played with them at all?

You don't need addons enabled to test any of this, and only so much can be gleaned from looking at the extracted UI.

Curious, anyone with beta access able to test this new binding?

<ModifiedClick action="CASTAOEONTARGET" default="CTRL"/>

Wonder if this skips the targeting reticule step for AoE spells if you have something targeted.

I tried a few ways to use it with hurricane on my copied druid and it had no effect. Did a /dump IsModifiedClick("CASTAOEONTARGET") in the cast and it was 1. Maybe NYI? It'd be a very handy feature.

To my previous questions, if anyone else curious, I was able to create a secure button that toggled its spell successfully so no apparent nerf there. No change to item:id's. And no readily apparent change to COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED.

Whoops, that's part of a dev-only system. It will be removed to avoid confusion.
