General Bugs

In order of importance.

Shifting Sands Reattribution does not factor in throughput-increasing debuffs

click to expand

Quite the mouthful of a description, I know. An example:

In scenarios where you gain a debuff increasing player throughput, the increase is not reflected in the support log lines for Shifting Sands, meaning too little damage is subtracted from buffed players.

This applies to all seen cases where debuffs increase throughput, such as:

• Smolderon intermission orbs
• Tindral, Dream Essence
• Throne of the Tides, last boss, P2 empowerment
• Black Rook Hold, last boss, P2 empowerment

Negative Reattribution

WCL could zero these events out but this makes it intransparent whether it's fixed. Additionally, the negative values are commonly disproportionally low so it's not as simple as multiplying them by -1.

Whenever there's a lot of enemies present in a pull, support events may write negative values. Instead of being granted the damage, this results in the buffing evoker to have damage subtracted from them, meaning they appear to have done less contribution than they actually did.

Notable examples:

• Tindral, the roots / treants overlap at ~0:45min
• any very large pull in dungeons, such as:
  • Brackenhide Hollow between 1st and 2nd boss whenever lots of lashers are present
  • Neltharion's Lair first pull with lots of small Crawlers

Enemies with shared health reattribute an additional time

WCL is fixing these on our end.

Given bosses with shared healthpools, the game writes support event lines for the damage mirrored to the shared health target, but sources these events to the NPC.

This not only inflates the buff damage of the Aug, but also makes it appear as if the Aug buffed the bosses which does not happen.

These damage events are however entirely incorrect and did not occur ingame.

Examples:

• Erunak Stonespeaker/Mindbender Ghur'sha (Throne of the Tides, 3rd boss; excluded on WCL end)
  • example link
• Teera & Maruuk (Nokhud Offensive, 3rd boss; excluded on WCL end)
  • example link
• The Silken Court (Nerub'ar Palace)
  • example link

Friendly Fire can reattribute

• trinket friendly fire on yourself reattributes, e.g. Echo of Neltharion trinkets or Vessel of Searing Shadows

Note how these:

are not only empty but also, the hunter does not have Shifting Sands from these evokers at the time:

  • this is via Ground Current hero talent
  • note that 435222, the primary effect, does fully reattribute

• Glacial Blast (id 424120) -- should NOT reattribute Prescience but Ebon Might and Shifting Sands

The War Within

• Frostfire Empowerment (id 431186) does not reattribute Ebon Might
  • tooltip is misleading, this is the 11.0 set 2pc

Hunter

The War Within

• Laceration (id 459560) does not reattribute anything

Special Cases

• Kill Cleave can stop reattributing Ebon Might for the remainder of a key (and presumably similarily in raid until zoning out) if the main pet dies and gets rezzed
  • note how here Catwag has no reattribution on Kill Cleave from EM
  • plenty of reattribution from Foxwag which died sec 18 and got rezzed 4s later
  • it does work the next key again however
• bm hunters can underattribute regardless of above fixes when the main pet loses its internal reattribution status somehow

Other

• Timestrike (id 419737) does not reattribute anything
• Leech is not reattributing anything but is arguably low priority
• Entropic Embrace (id 259756) does not reattribute anything

I added a section in my fork for resto druid in the special cases.
