Request: SPELL_AURA_REFRESH or APPLIED_DOSE update

d87 · 07-06-08, 08:02 AM

so for example warlock casts fear on Kobold Miner
at first it fires SPELL_AURA_APPLIED on initial fear but if warlock wants to refresh his fear nothing but SPELL_CAST_START
and the same with any debuff/buff

workarounds is possible ofc, like storing target GUID via UnitGUID on SPELL_CAST_SUCCESS and _START and then register UNIT_SPELLCAST_SUCCEDED, but they are quite complicated and ugly, described way only works if you're casting on your target, not focus or mouseover, and hardly possible for party/raid debuffs
well i can't figure out the easy and good way to make flawless debuff/buff monitor without AURA_REFRESH event type.
dunno why it's not implemented, at least as part of APPLIED_DOSE with amount arg set to 0

Isn't this implemented in 2.4.3?

edit:

http://wdn.wowinterface.com/ shows this added into the current PTR

Yeah, some new events were added to the combat log. In addition to the above, they also added SPELL_AURA_STOLEN and SPELL_AURA_PURGED iirc.

Seems the new 2.4.3 ones are

Code:

SPELL_AURA_BROKEN
SPELL_AURA_BROKEN_SPELL
SPELL_AURA_REFRESH
SPELL_DISPEL
SPELL_STOLEN

and these removed

Code:

SPELL_AURA_DISPELLED
SPELL_AURA_STOLEN

Oh yeah - thanks.

Broken seems interesting.

May see some nice CC Breaking AddOns come out! Or maybe a new addition to Broadcaster :P?

**Seerah** · 07-07-08, 09:05 AM

Yeah, I'll have to look into it - should have more time coming up in the next week or two.

2.4.3 on live.
that SPELL_AURA_REFRESH appears ONLY with regained Paranoia, after dismount

It's not working...

I'm reading that they have it working in beta, which is a long time from now.

Edit: On the verge of necroposting, but an update on this isn't that bad
