Finding what 'buff' is on a weapon

[Nyrine]

How do I go about this ?

The following code will correctly detect if my weapon has a buff (ie Windfury, Rockbiter, an oil etc)

local hmhe, mhe, mhc, hoe, ohe, ohc = GetWeaponEnchantInfo()
if (hmhe) then
  -- weapon has a buff
else
  -- weapon doesnt have a buff
end

But how do I find which buff is on it ? Mousing over the item in my inventory shows the buff on the tooltip, so its obviously possible.

Is there a way of doing it, without creating a tooltip and parsing all the lines in it ?

WeaponRebuff Works great

It too uses a hidden tooltip though. Oh well, I guess i'll keep going the way I have been until I learn better =)

Thanks though !

I am also seeking this info.

This is a little interesting, if not helpful.
