(I'm talking about the command one that was just text).
It used to do it way back when, if you did: /pet report health

That would show it like /pet health, but would also list the buffs.

I do not recall exactly what it looked like, been too long, sorry.

Regarding worn off messages - I played main enchanter, secondary shaman. These are what I recall:

- Worn off messages did not get displayed. I had to watch a mob to see if root broke, mez broke, etc. I had to time mezzes in my head or with a timer (many people would use hardware timer). DOTs were the same way, there were no messages for dot damage, and you had to time when it would wear off. Buffs were much the same, even in Kunark. I remember being in KC tower, for example, with my shaman - and would time certain buffs (e.g., stats) by casting on myself first, while with others (haste, regen), I would just let them ask me for it. Enchanter was same way, for like, doing CC in tower, I remember that, and timing RM or C2 - but not haste, would have them ask.

IMO, while there might be things you do to the world to make things more balance or fun (respawn timers, etc.), it seems if you want to maintain true classic, then they need to be off - even though that was an "annoying" feature. heh. (so was having to remember to turn on run every time you logged in!).
