There are a number. For instance, the gargoyle mob in ST:aTL. The announcement of what kind of damage you need to do is only in a pop-up. I'm wary, though. It seems like the devs did this deliberately to force players to pay attention to what's happening rather than just listen for instructions from ACT triggers and timers. If that's the case, figuring out a way to bypass it and get the messages into the log anyway may result in the devs making undesirable changes to the UI system to remove the bypass.
