Shield effects being properly attributed to healing #47

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Now that shields are being fully detailed in the chat log (blood shield, divine 
aegis, power word: shield, et cetera), are there any plans to get them tracked 
as proper heals?

I'm not entirely sure what is causing the discrepancy but the variance in what 
is tracked between stasis and WoL is pretty incredible, with a recent fight 
having stasis reporting my PWS output at 68k with 86% overheal, and WoL with it 
at 446k with 0% overheal, which is likely accurate.

If it will help any, I've attached the log from our last raid, where I drug my 
(badly geared) priest to Valiona and Theralion. Paladin shield is probably not 
reported there, as the pal was ret at that time, but the MT is a blood tank so 
there will also be ample examples of blood shield.

It's just a convention difference in reporting output. Stasis reports PWS 
healing as any damage absorbed as healing done, and any expired healing as 
overheal. WoL may choose to report the figures differently.

Blood shield isn't reported in the logs properly, so can't be fixed as I 
understand it.

Thanks much for the explanation about stasis' current behaviors. I had 
initially thought that was what WoL was doing, but knowing what stasis is up to 
now brings the accuracy and methodology of WoL's shield tracking into some 
serious doubt.

As for blood shield, however, I ran some brief tests a bit ago with a DK tank 
and the logs produced seem to be showing blood shield behaving as divine aegis 
does, in terms of how it is refreshed and stacked. It also seems to be behaving 
as all absorb effects do, as it 'refreshes' itself after the damage has gone 
through so that parsers can track which shield absorbed. So unless I'm missing 
something (which is entirely possible), it should be trackable just as divine 
aegis is, since their behavior appears to be relatively identical per the way 
the log shows them.

I've attached three short logfiles, one with an example of aegis' stacking, 
another with one of blood shield stacking, and one with some minor dueling and 
trash fighting   in order to give some example of blood shield's behavior when 
absorbing damage, as a brief example:

Lastly, thanks so much for looking into this stuff and keeping the project 
afloat. It is such a fantastic resource!

There's no ability-specific ability when it comes to absorbs. I've honestly not 
looked again at Blood Shield since recent patches as if it were fixed to work 
like other abilities it should just start working straight off. I'll have a 
look at these and other recent logs to see if things change though.
