Easy way to track misdirects and tricks?

[fafhrd]

In that case the rule should just be changed to
/tjh rule SPELL_AURA_REMOVED;;YOURNAME;Misdirection;raid;SAY;*spell CD over for *source.;26
as it now announces 26 seconds after the buff misdirection is removed from the player.

This sounds like it should work yes I might be slightly wrong and the cooldown might start when the 4s effect has worn off, but in that case your new rule would still work perfectly with the 26 changed to a 30.

I actually have our logs for tonight handy, so:

Code: Select all

5/18 20:02:22.792  SPELL_AURA_APPLIED,0x02800000000A70BA,"Fafhrd",0x511,0x02800000000A70BA,"Fafhrd",0x511,34477,"Misdirection",0x1,BUFF

where Fafhrd is a hunter, Daxx is a tank.

So it looks like the timeline is (if I'm reading the fields in the log correctly:
- apply aura 34477 to hunter ( http://www.wowhead.com/spell=34477 )
- cast success of spell 34477 at tank

- wait for damage to occur

- apply aura 35079 to hunter ( http://www.wowhead.com/spell=35079 )
- remove aura 34477 from hunter

- 4 seconds later remove aura 35079 from hunter

So the spell cast sucess for 34477 wouldn't really be useful for cooldown monitoring, but you need it to tell you who got MD'd by whom. The spell aura remove of 35079 would tell you exactly when to start your cooldown counter from, either as 26s or 30s (someone can tell you this in game with a quick test, sorry I don't want to log in and find something to shoot right now). However you may have a problem because both 35079 and 34477 are buffs named Misdirection, and both are spell_aura_removed events - but one happens at the start of the 4s period and one at the end. If TJH can work off spell IDs instead of names though, that'd work out fine.

But how does Tricks work?

Which is more than I'm going to try to figure out right now. It looks similar though, but with the extra bit for I think the t10 set bonus granting energy on tricks, and the duration being longer via a glyph.

[Darkler]

If TJH can work off spell IDs instead of names though, that'd work out fine.

It can indeed, just insert the spell id number instead of the spell name :)

Now ill plug this into my 'TJH Excel sheet' to play around what rules I can make. I had this problem before showing on who the MD fell off, due to no target name is shown, but I can prob solve it now :) so.. brb

[Darkler]

Hm, I still think I need more combat log than this sadly.

But working with what I have atm I get the following

Code: Select all

time         event                source    target     spell id      spell name
20:02:22.792 SPELL_AURA_APPLIED   Fafhrd    Fafhrd     34477         Misdirection
20:02:22.803 SPELL_CAST_SUCCESS   Fafhrd    Daxx       34477         Misdirection
20:02:24.133 RANGE_DAMAGE         Fafhrd    The Damned 75            Auto Shot
20:02:24.251 SPELL_AURA_APPLIED   Fafhrd    Fafhrd     35079         Misdirection
20:02:24.274 SPELL_AURA_REMOVED   Fafhrd    Fafhrd     34477         Misdirection
20:02:28.276 SPELL_AURA_REMOVED   Fafhrd    Fafhrd     35079         Misdirection

giving that there is no way to track when the MD from F falls off D. There should be an other line saying that it falls off, (as my rule
/tjh rule SPELL_AURA_REMOVED;;MYNAME;Misdirection;raid;SAY;Misdirection finished.works) but I dont know if that line includes any source. But to conclude the rule can work for you if you just change the rule with the delay to
/tjh rule SPELL_AURA_REMOVED;;;35079;raid;SAY;*spell CD over for *source.;26
or
/tjh rule SPELL_AURA_APPLIED;;;35079;raid;SAY;*spell CD over for *source.;30

Now over to the more wicked Tricks analysis :)
From Combat Log you gave me:

Code: Select all

time         event                source     target       spell id      spell name
20:02:37.168 SPELL_AURA_APPLIED   Pacquiao   Pacquiao     57934         Tricks
20:02:37.168 SPELL_CAST_SUCCESS   Pacquiao   Kimurellia   57934         Tricks
20:02:37.433 SPELL_AURA_REFRESH   Pacquiao   The Damned   51585         Blade T

20:02:37.501 SPELL_ENERGIZE       Pacquiao   Pacquiao     70804         Tricks
20:02:37.705 SWING_DAMAGE         Pacquiao   The Damned   945           0
20:02:37.838 SPELL_AURA_APPLIED   Pacquiao   Kimurellia   57933         Tricks
20:02:43.548 SPELL_AURA_REMOVED   Pacquiao   Pacquiao     59628         Tricks
20:02:43.848 SPELL_AURA_REMOVED   Pacquiao   Kimurellia   57933         Tricks

(removed some spell name text, to make it fit)

Here it seems that the spell put, ie the Tricks, are 57934 which both target and source gets. When the rogue deals damage he gets 59628 and the 57934 is removed from the rogue. (Rogue then gets 15 energy from 2pt10, 70804) Deals 945 damage (this is not a spell id) and the tank gets the aura 57933. 6 seconds after the first attack both the rogues (59628) and the tanks (57933) Tricks are removed. I would then build the rule to trigger on either spell id 59628 trigger, 59628 removal or 59628 removal, if the same methodology works as the MD.

Ie rule would be
/tjh rule SPELL_AURA_APPLIED;;;59628;raid;SAY;*spell CD over for *source.;30 (triggers for first attack by rogue, then 30s delay for the announcement)
or
/tjh rule SPELL_AURA_REMOVED;;;59628;raid;SAY;*spell CD over for *source.;24 (triggers 24s (30-6) after the rogue loses his tricks)
or
/tjh rule SPELL_AURA_REMOVED;;;57933;raid;SAY;*spell CD over for *source.;24 (triggers 24s (30-6) after the tank loses his tricks)

Personally Id go with the 'APPLIED' rules, so that the rule wont trigger beforehand if the tank dies for example :)

I hope this post is understandable..

heyho,

I'm using Execution and this rule:

Code: Select all

COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED;,SPELL_CAST_SUCCESS,,,,,,,,Tricks of the Trade,;;chat(SELF:Tricks  *source -> *target!);

Output (Pixelbandit is our Rogue):

Code: Select all

Tricks Pixelbandit -> Liyandra

Bye, RedAces.

[Darkler]

Yeah, but the goal with the rules above was to fulfill the OPs request, to be able to track when the CD on MD and Tricks was over :)

[fafhrd]

Not looking up the spells on wowhead right now, but I assume the buff the tank is getting from the rogue when the rogue attacks is the actual 15% damage buff, and nothing to do with the threat redirect. In both the hunter and rogue case, the threat portion is only a targetted spell cast by the hunter/rogue to the tank, which is why you only see a spell_cast_success for misdirect from source fafhrd to target kimurellia, and no spell_aura_applied/removed on kim - the auras are on fafhrd, since he first gets one buff for "you will start redirecting your threat when you next attack" and another buff later on for "you are redirecting all threat for the next 4 seconds".

If it's unclear, those were literally the only events relevant to the characters involved during the MD/tricks duration, I didn't skip anything other than heals/buffs/debuffs/damage on them from other players/mobs. The rogue one might have had an extra blade twisting refresh somewhere in there is all.
