That skill is not ready
I think there needs to be a way to disable this message entirely. The audible and onscreen message. Right now, I've turned the dialog volume all the way down. But this affects all the dialog in the game.

After playing a few hours of the game, I'm sure anyone would figure out that skills have cooldowns. It's entirely unnecessary to have these messages going off all the time. I have many skills that I use all the time, and most of them aren't usually ready by the time I reach for them, and the skill bar isn't where I usually focus my attention. So, if Doom Bolt isn't going off, I'm well aware that the cooldown hasn't finished yet.

Tell me about it. I have circle of blades mapped to LMB3, and sometimes if I hit it a bit early, or I hold the button down a little long so the game thinks I want to do it twice in a row, it gives me the message. The worst part is his attitude when he says it. It sounds to me like "Dumb-ass, how could you ask me to do that when you KNOW I can't!"

It's like, why don't you tell me what I CAN do, rather than telling me what I CAN'T do all the time?

Worst thing they ever did in this concern was to tie the error speech sound level to the "Dialog Volume". Now in order to not have the error speech not blast through my center channel I have to lower it to the point of no longer hearing my enemies screams.
enemies say a bunch of stuff:

"Kill the non-believer" "yes, another sacrifice" "fresh blood for the alter" "In kymon's name" "for kymon" "gonna cut off your face" "not like this" "kymon protect me" "death is only the beginning"

does it actually cut out screams? I know that certain dialogs and things that bosses say is cut off. Like warden krieg says some things, but not with dialog turned down.

There are all sorts of options they put in, like, show damage in numbers, highlight things. It would make sense to add this one. Especially, since I don't think anyone needs to hear this. I don't think that people actually rely on this message for anything.

Monster VO is not on the dialog channel. Some of the Warden's lines are, but that's more erroneous than a rule.

I have had this same exact thought many times as well. Sometimes I get really pissed at my character for saying it. Really wish it was able to be turned off.

Never played Starcraft, but yeah, I get it.

Or another one: "You must gather your party before venturing forth."
The only difference is that for me, that message goes off every few seconds or more when in combat.

yes, this is really annoying!

any way to delete this audio files or change some config files to get rid of this "skill not ready" and "I can't do that yet" ?
