new combat log trigger: spell lockout duration

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I would like to easily track the duration of spell lockouts on party members and arena enemies.
Example: If my healer (party1) gets kicked by a Rogue, then I would like to have a WeakAura that shows

  • the exact duration my healer can't cast ('Kick' lockout duration)
  • an icon that indicates what spell was kicked by the Rogue

Describe the solution you'd like

A new combat log trigger called 'spell lockout duration' (or whatever) would be ideal. The user can determine:

  • unit that got interrupted
  • spellid of the interrupt that was used
  • lockout duration

and it would return the icon of the spell that was interrupted.

Thank you to everyone working on WA for the best mod to ever exist in a game.

That's out of scope for a built-in trigger.

Units getting locked out on a spell cast is the only combat log event that WeakAura doesn't cover yet. The addon GladiusEx has the logic around the SPELL_INTERRUPT event here: https://github.com/vendethiel/GladiusEx/blob/master/modules/interrupts.lua

Maybe there is a way for the team to apply this logic to WeakAuras without too much of a hassle. Thanks again for all you do and all the best!

grafik

weakauras does handle that event. this event however does not have the information you want.

There's no api for spell lockouts, thus it requires lots of code that we don't want to maintain. That's why it's out of scope for WA.

This and the other ticket (#4579) are the only two features missing for me to complete my WA-only Gladius that will help boost PvP participation because of how easy it is to keep everything up to date with WeakAuras. It would really mean a lot if you guys could look into it. Once that is in, everything you could possibly want in PvP can be done with WeakAuras. Cheers guys.
