Again, no idea at all why i died, i don't think i even FD'ed there.
These are just a few examples, there's definately a bug somewhere, just not sure where it comes from (blizz or WWS/recount).

Edit: Seems priests are indeed bugged aswell, Recount showed 40+ deaths for a priest in the raid, while WWS shows 25.

Priests with that spirit thingy die twice according to combat log,
one is the real death, the second their spiritform death.
don't know if this was ever fixed or if it is possible to fix it at all
(priest without that talent could die -> ss -> die as well and if it only counted one death this solution would be just as wrong)

For now the Spirit of Redemption behavior is as intended. I'm not really concerned about that. The hunter behavior is new and I do not understand where it comes from.

A raw combat log would be helpful. Anything that's in any way parsed won't help me track this down. Either attach it here or PM it to me if size permits.

What's the command to enable combatlog tracking? And how much will it affect performance (allready lagging alot allready)? If its impact is too much, i would hope someone else would do it, or i might be able to in the next week when i get my new computer.

Type /combatlog in-game. Results are found in Logs as WoWCombatLog.txt or such. In my experience performance impact is negligible. Generated files can be large though.

If you have WWS parses, there also should be an associated combat log file, that is basically generated by the process above. So sending me that will basically cover it.

Last night in 10-man Naxxramas, using r969, I experienced some odd behavior with a hunter pet. When "merge pets" was turned off, the hunter's pet correctly showed up as a separate entry on the meters, listing the hunter's name as its owner. When "merge pets" was turned on, the hunter's pet no longer appeared as a separate entry, but wasn't added to the hunter's damage either. Other raid members' pets were correctly added to their damage (death knight, mage, priest) when "merge pets" was enabled. enUS client.

Hmm. I think there are two issues here:

*) Pet handling has some issue. Note that pets and guardians are different things. Pets, from a combat log perspective are units whose abilities you can control, like a hunter/warlock pet, a MC'd person or NPC etc. A guardian will act independently but be affiliated with you. This is still hypothesis though and I still need to find a way to reproduce this. I haven't been having problems with my hunter's pet merging.

Interestingly the guardian handling code has changed recently (to allow mage mirror images to be handled correctly) but not the pet code. This really shouldn't have affected pets, but maybe it does. I'll explore that possibility staring at code. Still a way to reproduce this will be the fastest way to get to the bottom of it.

*) Erroneous deaths for hunters. My hypothesis is that this are combat log entries only reported to units that are not the hunter because I do not see this problem when I play my hunter. It could be that FD is reported as actual deaths via the combat log to other units, and this may in fact be intended (to not give away FD via scrolling combat texts). This is a pure hypothesis. If anyone can provide me a combatlog when grouped with a hunter who feigns death that'd be helpful to verify or reject this.

If nobody gets you a combat log of someone else FDing sooner, I'll get you one when I get home tonight.

I just committed an alpha version that will make it blatantly obvious (chat message spam) if a FD is reported as actual death to party members. Please report if you see such a message with version r970.

19:38:36 Recount: Yikes: Feign Death reported as real, please report!

Edit #1: The hunter wasn't in my party, rather in my raid.
Edit #2: A new issue seems to have emerged in the last few versions; when I hover over my own name, I don't see my pet's damage in the tooltip, and it's not merged with my DPS, however it is for other people in my raid using Recount when they report their numbers.

Thanks, I have removed the debug message and that particular problem should be fixed now (i.e. FD for raid members is no longer recorded as deaths).

As for the pet issue, I am unable to reproduce this. My pet shows fine solo and grouped. Any leads how to reproduce this would be welcome.

Recount: Yikes: Feign Death reported as real, please report!
while doing That's Abominable! daily quest

Update, the latest version has this error message removed. Thanks for reporting.

Yes, this is the issue I saw with a hunter in my raid (not myself). The hunter happens to play from about 3 feet away from me IRL, and on his meter, his pet was merged correctly. And since I update his addons for him via a batch script that copies from my addons folder, we're using the same version at any given time. :lol:

Elsia, if there's any other info I can give you to help track down this problem, please let me know. My settings haven't changed since the last time I posted my saved variables (here).

I'm a little confused about the symptoms here. So is this buggy for self (i.e. the hunter doesn't see his pet merged) for other (others don't see the pet merged) or is it random? Ignore the tooltip for now, just main bar merging is what I am interested in.

Other. I'm a resto shaman. I saw a hunter's pet not merged with the hunter while Merge Pets was enabled. When I disabled Merge Pets, the hunter's pet appeared as a separate bar on the Damage Done meter. When I re-enabled Merge Pets, the hunter's pet's bar disappeared, but the pet's damage was not added to the hunter's bar (the DPS and damage done numbers remained unchanged).

My boyfriend was the hunter in question, and was not experiencing the issue; his pet was correctly merged into his bar on his computer.

It sounds like oloffl is experiencing the issue with himself as the hunter, though.

OK thanks. Basically the only way this can happen is that a pet is correctly tracked but for some reason the association of the pet to the owner (needed for the merge) is missing or destroyed. That code hasn't changed in ages, so it's weird that this should surface now. I'll explore.

Adding to that, when I disabled Merge Pets, the hunter's name was shown with the pet's on the pet's bar (i.e. Petname <Huntername>).

Thanks, that's good to know. Basically when merging the list of pets connected to an owner is traversed. That list must be in trouble, even though the pet is generated and attributed correctly initially. I have played many hours with my hunter and not seen this, so not sure what can possibly cause this.

Did the hunters in question experience any DC or other unusual disruptions?

At the beginning of the raid, everyone in my IRL house, including myself and the hunter, were experiencing connectivity issues including a few disconnects. I didn't notice the problem until several hours later, though, when I switched over to the damage meter (I'm usually watching healing) and wondered why his damage done was so low. Each disconnected affected both of us though, so I'm not sure that explains why I saw the issue and he didn't. (Don't you wish all of your bugs had a control group? :p)
