[Core] API COMBAT LOG EVENT SPELL_AURA_REFRESH

[Devrak]

Description:

API COMBAT LOG EVENT SPELL_AURA_REFRESH is an event that is sent to the client after casting buff/debuff ( Aura ) on target that allready has that buff/debuff notifying client that the buff/debuff is refreshed

How it works:

SPELL_AURA_REFRESH message is not sent to the client after Buff/Debuff casts

How it should work:

SPELL_AURA_REFRESH message should be sent if the Buff/Debuff is successfully cast on target that allready has that Buff/Debuff

Source (you should point out proofs of your report, please give us some source):

I`am not 100% sure if it should be like that but here are my clues:

1) http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/API_COMBAT_LOG_EVENT?oldid=1564734 2) It is sent for Crusader Strike judgement refresh 3) It is sent for some instant casts 4) In other cases you always get some sort of result event

• If you cast a dot/buff/debuff on target you get corresponding SPELL_AURA_APPLIED event
• If you cast a dot/debuff on target and he resists u get corresponding SPELL_CAST_MISSED event
• If dot/buff/debuff on target expires/is remooved u get corresponding SPELL_AURA_REMOVED event so there should be the SPELL_AURA_REFRESH event when u refresh your Buff/Debuff on the target 5) You do get SPELL_AURA_REFRESH event on wotlk server

The new combat log system was implemented in 2.4 and maybe it was not fully implemented client side and the issue is instead there but i hope you could give some sort of answer on this.

Bump.

Tested on some other servers and it works there so its a bug . Easy test case:

cast "Immolate" on a Target and then cast it again before the debuff expires there should be a combat log report that Targets Immolate is refreshed.

It is somewhat game breaking bug as it bugs out addons that track debuffs / dots / curses and so on especially in pvp
