Bleed tracking (manual list)

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yes - due to Blizzard not making "bleed" an official debuff type I have a hard time maintaining a WA where i have to manually go through all the dungeon and raid spells for the current tier to add a possible bleed. This is time consuming and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one that does this.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to have a bleed type in the list of Aura <unit> <buff/debuff> Debuff Type

Describe alternatives you've considered
I could add this list in my private addon and then recreate the logic using a custom trigger. This would only work for me though, and makes it hard to share this feature with others.

Additional context
ElvUI has started to manually track bleeds with a small piece of documentation how they got the list:
https://github.com/tukui-org/ElvUI/blob/fc39f65022e62006f410a35ed775aa4afab3a8c4/ElvUI_Libraries/Core/LibDispel/LibDispel.lua#L50

I'm not sure if manually tracking this list is worth it in terms of maintenance.. I am aware of #2758, and I'm only proposing this as a feature because most of the work is already done by ElvUI.

We can't take the list from elvui, because their license does not allow for that. You should not consult that list for your own purposes without asking the elvui team for permission.

And we certainly don't want to maintain a list of bleeds ourselves.

I was referring to the steps they took to get the list from wowhead, which everyone can do without breaking a license. I'll make my own list in that case, thanks!

Right, we could parse the dbc too to generate a bleed list, I believe this would be a list of all bleeds in 10.0
https://wow.tools/dbc/?dbc=spelleffect&build=10.0.5.47621#page=1&colFilter[12]=15

Whether that's a complete list I'm not sure though.
Still I'm not really keen on adding that.

@mrbuds any opinion on that?

This would be best solved by wow ui devs by improving their API, so i opened this ticket Stanzilla/WoWUIBugs#481

https://wago.tools/db2/SpellEffect?filter[EffectMechanic]=15&page=1 would be better since it's not in read only mode anyways right?

commented

yeah what jods said
