Abilities are not showing on boss

#1 » Post by Longi » 01 Apr 2016 00:59

Hi guys

Today , well... as I look at the clock ... in fact it happened yesterday. I have not seen Rip and Rake on Bosses inside ICC. It happened randomly. I tried to powershift or change targets, but it did not help. Recount shows those abilities active

Someone else had / have this problems ?
Can be problem in my Wow client or it is server ?
Is there any way how to fix this visual bug ?

Thanks for any help :)

That happens all the time to me on multiple classes, I am not sure what can cause this bug, one of my guesses is that when you have few players that apply same debuff to boss, visual effects get messed up. I suggest you to use some AddOn to track your debuffs on target, like Quartz.

We had to revert our fix to this because apparently it caused the int divided by zero client crashes. Apparently it's some issue we'll just have to live with. Units can only have up to 64 auras.

Have you guys read what I wrote? It's bugged, simple. It doesn't matter which add-on you use

I changed my UI to only show my debuffs to fix this. Still, very rarely, I will have a DoT not display on the target, even though I can see it ticking (for example, no Corruption DoT showing on boss, but I'm still receiving the healing from Siphon Life from it).

Ancient bug, even since BC merged to TW. Just as told if several players apply same debuff or boss currently have over max number of showed debuff (though it was only 42 not 64) some of them are not showed to player.

Several addons DOES help but most does not. Example, PowerAura does not help 99% of time. If you dont see your DoT, PA wont show it too. However, Mage Nuggets do show all time all stuff. Mage Fever sometimes does sometimes does not.

I have never seen or heard any fix you just told Nye.

Maybe try this addon: http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/debuff ... s/12-1-99/
I doubt it will work since it most likely uses the same source as default UI, but it's worth a shot.
It never really occured to me because I have never encountered this kind of bug, but I think it happened to me, too, once or twice. However my only dot is Serpent Sting and that is not very difficult to keep track of, so maybe someone else can test this addon.

From Shadow Priest point of view, you can actually predict when you need to refresh dots, but its easiest for this class, since it has only 3 dots.

Usually 2x Vampiric Touch duration equals 1x Devouring Plague duration, so if you manage to see only one of these two, dpsing with this bug gets easy.

Another good addon/debuff timer/dot timer that shows your dots and debuffs regardless of being visible or not is ForceXorcist. It fixed these problems when I was playing shadowpriest for a long time

mby you can apply something like priority list for debuffs. Idk if this is possible, but it will fix this problem. I think there are debuffs you dont need to see, but few of them are important for gameplay

Using XPERL unitframes fixes this, at least for me. Never had such an issue
