Thundaga III only shows one damage total

Closed this issue · 2 comments

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Change to a Level 75 BLM walk to West Sarutabaruta [S]
2. Find two Tiny Lycopodium then use Thundaga III
3. Look at parse Offense Tab 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The Thundaga III spell should have the second damage.  The Spell dmg only 
shows only the first damage total.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.0.6.0 Vista Ult

Please provide any additional information below.

Please clarify: do you mean that it's only showing 1 point of damage total?  Or 
that
only one mob is marked as fought?

The parser cannot distinguish between mobs of the same name when they take 
damage. 
As such, what I would expect to happen in the above scenario is that the parser 
would
apply all damage to the first lypocodium, note that it died, see a second 
death, and
create a new (and newly dead) entry for the second fight.  Since no damage was 
done
in between, the second fight wouldn't have any damage totals for it.

If this is in fact the case of what you're reporting, then there's nothing I 
can do
about it.  SE's logs don't allow any form of target distinction beyond the 
name. 
Though... well, there may possibly be a way to reengineer the parsing to 
account for
that in cases of known AOE spells.  It would require some thought.

Partial fix:

-ga spell damage is now summed as total damage on the Offense page.  Offense 
Details
plugin will show number of individual damage instances (eg: test run, Thundaga 
cast
on 3 lypocodiums for 209/209/210 damage will show a single cast for 628 damage 
on
Offense page, and 2 instances of 209 damage, 1 for 210 damage on the Offense 
Details
page).

-ga damage will probably not be correctly attributed for multiple blms (who are 
not
the person parsing) in either the same party, or all outside the current party 
(ie:
elsewhere in the alliance, outside party/alliance altogether) if cast in a
synchronized manner (timed nukes, etc) on multiple mobs.  For general and solo 
case,
though, should be fine.
