Can't track Death's Advance

Strangely, I can't get Death's Advance to be tracked as an aura. I haven't had any issues tracking enemy buffs/debuffs before. Unfortunately, I don't have any DK friends so I haven't been able to capture this now until I saw a DK in the wild with the buff active. Hope this makes sense and curious what the issue could be.

Hm, in the screenshot, it shows that Death's Advance is blocked, so it should not show, but you want it to show, right? Or was that just for tesing purposes? What you can try in any case is to set the filter mode to All and enable all buffs on enemy units. This way you will see to much, but you should also see Death's Advance. After that, you can reduce what auras are shown. There are some settings that impact what buffs are shown on enemy units, so it's rather complex.

Can you show me a screenshot of the full page with settings under Auras - Buffs, especially the settings in Enemy Units.

I forget the exact reason, but I went with the Block + Not route because I didn't want to see as many buffs and knew what was important to me (for PvP reasons). I do want Death's Advance to show, and every ability in my Block list has the Not prefix and shows using this configuration.

I'll try experimenting with some of the settings like you mentioned in the meanwhile. Thanks for all the work you do on this amazing addon.

Oh yeah, I think I remember the logic now... I wanted to see every single dispellable buff for enemies even if I didn't know about it (useful for PvE), but if it's not dispellable I only want to show certain buffs.

I need to think a bit more about this and probably check some stuff. But you enabled only Dispellable buffs. Are druids able to dispell Death's Advance?

The Not keyword does only allow you to bypass the filter mode, not the Dispellable filter, I think. Filtering is complicated, so I need to look into the code :}

I get what you're thinking. I am 99% sure Death's Advance is not currently a dispellable buff, but the thing is, using this system I can see plenty of undispellable buffs like Avenging Wrath, Evasion, Die by the Sword, etc with the settings the way they are. It's weird to me because I have been using this system for more than a year on the same character (Druid), and it seems to be the only spell that doesn't respond to this.

I hate if this is a red herring and caused by some weird addon interaction, but I'm hoping it's something that stands out in the code. At any rate, as you know this is far from being a significant issue. Thank you for whatever time you have to look into it.

And yeah, you're right. The Not keyword doesn't seem to affect dispellable buffs, which is what I love about it. That way I can be picky-choosy with only seeing undispellable PvP buffs that I care about, but I can also see all obscure dispellable buffs that I can't imagine instead of having to rely on spell lists like Plater.
