Limitations

Thomas edited this page Apr 7, 2017 · 19 revisions

When using this addon there are some limitations or caveats you should know about due to the way WoW 1.12.1 api works:

  • There's no way to distinguish between NPCs with the exact same name. So most of this addon's functionality won't work properly on mobs. (/fcast will be used on nearest unit found when focus is npc)
  • Certain values like mana are only updated when you or someone else in your party targets the focus target, or when you're using /fcast. (Values are updated in "real time" if the focus is a party member.)
  • Health is updated same way as power, but will also update when the focus target's nameplate is visible.
  • Cast & buff tracking requires no targeting but are only tracked if the focus is within the combat log range (40 yards). (There are other addons that may change the combat log range. Buffs are also refreshed on focus targeted incase a buff was not found in the combat log.)
  • Castbar may show incorrect timers when focus uses different spell ranks.
  • For some reason all healing spell casts are not tracked if the focus is inside your party. Not sure if this is a vanilla thing or Elysium bug.

This addon is only tested on Elysium servers. Other servers might not have implemented all the combat log events required for this addon to function properly.
