Combat Log event issue

The vanilla client does not trigger any event if the unit already has the buff. This might be because its just meant to display the buff texture and no accurate timer. This is the one reason my UF do not show cooldown spirals on the target frame.

in this case we were mostly searching for heal/spell events with a cast time, which the game also handles under buffs

There was proof on Kronos forums, that an event (at least combatlog) should be triggered if a buff/debuff was reapplied before its duration ended. So it's definitely an issue with faulty server functionality.

That one is definitly not fired on Kronos if an aura is reapplied.

I guess the hardest part is going to be finding retail evidence (which event is being triggered on refreshing buffs)

I'm 100% certain there was no event on refreshing full stacks of debuffs such as sunder armor / imp scorch. I wouldn't be surprised if buffs worked similarly
