Combat timers for Beasts and Jaraxxus

[ajames27]

Noticed the combat timers were off by a few seconds for the first two bosses.

For reference this is what the timers look like before the change

i remember having to adjust these many times during wrath, cause they could in fact be shorter sometimes. they were variable, I wouldn't trust changing them without literally couple dozen videos showing that is not still the case with classic. the way blizzards RP is coded is sometimes the scripting has a delay before starting, or between two diff lines even and it causes the variations on things like illiden in TBC, and these in wrath, etc where one pull might be x seconds, next one is 3 seconds longer or shorter seconds. DBM just tends to use shortest time seen cause you don't want to wreck a prepot using the median, even if the median is closer to the average.

Makes sense, would be nice to have two timers where one is a safe prepot timer and the other is a best guess for the median, but it's probably something for a weak aura.

I would like a DBM timer feature eventually where I can have split bar or rather a line and stage 2 version of bar where I can more clearly show CD windows on things. like i fI now an ability is cast every 23-27 seconds, have a line in the bar at 23 and then from 23-37 when it passes that line shits to a diff color or something..Unfortunately @QartemisT has been super busy of late and most core work has been put on hold for now..

I'll leave this open cause it is possible the min window is larger in classic, or more consistent, but I'd want to see more resets/data first to be sure before making this change

[ajames27]

Just as a note, the combat lock for beasts happens before the current timers have expired so there is no real risk of losing a pre-pot on that fight by changing the timer. You're in combat about 10 seconds before the boss becomes active.

I'm gonna go ahead and merge this, if the early start thing is still a thing, it's not that common. someone did 22 wipes on jaraxxus and said the timer was always later.
