Actual buff information ?

[Aclii]

Hi! I'm trying to get actual buff amount (for example "Intellect increased by 2000" and then parse it) of player buffs. Since buff amount is scaled (player level, item ilvl, etc) UnitBuff->GetSpellDescription gives me wrong results. Is there any way to get this information using API or scanning tooltips text is the only way ?

Further I would like to sort buffs by type (intellect, crit, haste) and get theirs durations and power to show notification icons for prefered spell to cast if condition met (for example Chaos Bolt for destruction warlock).

My previous version uses hardcoded spellIDs for actual tier trinket procs and works fine, but I want to make something more flexible.

This is what I do in rFilter3.

--use the spellid of the aura you want to track (aura != spell that casts the aura)
local searchSpellId = 12345
local spellName, spellRank, spellIcon = GetSpellInfo(searchSpellId )
local name, rank, icon, count, dispelType, duration, expires, caster, isStealable, shouldConsolidate, spellId, canApplyAura, isBossDebuff, value1, value2, value3 = UnitAura("player", spellName, spellRank, "HELPFUL")
print(name,value1,value2,value3)

I've tested your solution looking at other players at training dummies, but unfortunately half of the buffs has empty (zeros) value1, value2, value3, so it won't work for me.

Now I'm going to use Simcrafts sc_spell_data.inc (describes spells and spelleffects), because parsing tooltips is the bad way IMO, anyway thank you for help )
