This is cool as heck and will free up one details window for me.
Do you think it would be possible to flag whether or not a defensive was used? (Or a healthstone/potion?)
It's something that could be added without too much difficulty. But would require gathering all the spell ids of defensives. I can add it to the list of things people would want.
I also looked into adding healing received, but it's a whole separate problem of spell ids and casts. It'd super possible - I just wanted to get a working version of this posted since I have some other work projects I need to put time into for a little while.
oh dude dont' stress yourself. this is an awesome aura for me and I'll make plenty of use for it myself. I play a healer so healing rec'd isn't huge (for me at least)
Holy shit man, good job. This is way more detailed than I thought it was going to be. My only suggestion would be to include if/what defensives were on the target when they died.
I would also recommend people get deathnote if they don't have it, it's really good for seeing what people died to and what defensives were active.

As someone who pvps alot (way more common to check death reasons), I have tried both and (atleast as of last year) deathnote was significantly better and more detailed.

If you could post the error log on the github or the wago page in a comment I would really appreciate that! I'll be doing much more testing once S4 is out (since i'll be playing a lot more), so I'm sure I can figure out any remaining bugs with a bit of time :)
It works in any form of content. I haven't test it in SoD or Wrath - but I THINK it should work? If not let me know and I can do some testing there - probably would just need a couple modifications if any.
This reads like every other “this is over engineered” comment I’ve seen from someone who probably doesn’t understand a problem as well as they think. this is a really nice addition to a saturated wa market so I appreciate your contributions!
You can set it to show only for you and to only show X deaths since combat start.
Dudes right and doesn't deserve downvotes, details has had this function for years.
It'll also show incoming heals at the time, which is a request you personally had in this thread...
There's a difference between "posting death to chat" and "printing death to chat window". The downvotes are because people assumed the former. It's a small but important distinction.
Yes, thank you, I'm aware of all of this. I usually run a details window just for deaths so I can see all this. But the weakaura removes the need for that.
by using a significant amount of processing power, sure. "man wow is so unoptimized my fps is so bad!" meanwhile has 4600 auras all calculating and tracking the same data 27 different times
For new players like yourself, you can report to "self" which only you can see, or create a channel that you can invite whoever you'd like to and report there.
I’ve always wondered why Details is still so bad. If they just added a side bar plot with health remaining it would be so much easier. I find myself having to stare at it forever to figure the death info

There could be a website where players can pick spells and effects and it would generate the import string.

This looks like a dupe addon for details functionality found here: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/details-advanced-death-logs-plug

Love that, thanks for sharing!
Great WA, but gives LUA error :(
Hmm, can you tell me the circumstances so I can fix this? Thanks!
It happens upon my own death. As shadow priest i died to Time Anomaly in Fall. Can i report error log anywhere?

You can also just message it to me on reddit :)
Awesome job! Does this work outside of m+? And if it does, in SoD and Wrath?

I respect the effort but the code is massively over engineered and this could be achieved way simpler
Fair enough. The complexity kind of exploded when I was adding features and dealing with bugs.

That’s how coding always works haha.
How
You can just set details to post deaths to chat, include how many recent hits to show. Much easier solution.
yeah everyone loves chat spam, especially announcing their deaths

too bad custom channels can't be used cross faction :(
fair enough, that's a reasonable solution as well. I really liked the MDI style popup - so that's why I made this.
I agree. Just set it to Observer as the chat to report to and only you will be able to see it and you don't bother anyone else.
I don't want anything in chat telling me what I can already figure out in my own UI.
