This hook modifies damage AFTER it has been reduced by target auras/armor/resistances etc, it's useful if you want to scale damage by a factor, but not to add flat bonuses.
We're fixing those by moving calculation to Launch phase, where target taken bonuses haven't been used yet.
- Bronjahm: Magic's Bane
- BPC: Shadow Prison
- Oculus: Shock Lance
- Ymiron: Dark Slash (extra fix, it was wrongly damaging half of total health, it's supposed to be half of CURRENT health!)
- DK: Raise Ally Thrash spell (also extra fix: corrected formula)
- Warrior: Bloodthirst (shouldn't matter much as it's damage class none and those don't get bonuses by default)
- Warrior: Concussion Blow
- Warlock: extra fix for Haunt, healing part shouldn't scale with spell power
Closes#9560
- Decoupled Unit logic: split of spell critical chance into done (caster bonuses) and taken (target bonuses), this allows to precalculate caster bonuses on aura apply and then check victim's auras on damage/healing calc
- Made static a bunch of methods (they no longer have this pointer because they are now called from periodic handlers which may or may not have an active caster in world)
- Simplified all AuraEffect bonuses into AuraEffect::_amount, no more duplicated code
- Critical chance and whether or not caster is player owned unit (for resilience calcs) is now saved one level upper, on Aura itself (it's impossible as of 3.3.5 to have different effects with different critical chances)
- Minor cleanup of SPELL_DAMAGE_CLASS_NONE and Arcane Potency (#18813) crit handling
Closes#19876
Core/Spell: The giant CastSpell unclusterfucking (that's a word now) of this generation.
- CastSpell now always takes three arguments - target, spellId, and a struct containing extra arguments
- This struct (CastSpellExtraArgs, see SpellDefines.h) serves as a conglomerate of every previous combination of the 20 billion different CastSpell overloads, all merged into one
- It has some great utility constructors - check them out! All of these can be used to implicitly construct the ExtraArgs object.
- A gajillion refactors to make everything behave the way it always has
- Fixed issues related with Parasitic Shadowfiend
- Updated script to new model
- Fixed loop of Parasitic Shadowfiend Summon
- Added a new spell (SPELL_REMOVE_PARASITIC_SHADOWFIEND)
- Fixed illidari elite attacking players
- SPELL_PARASITIC_SHADOWFIEND now is a negative aura
There are three possible scenarios regarding regenerating health
- db lock and curhealth set to > 0
- db lock and curhealth set to 0
- dynamic lock (set in scripts and such) overriding db lock
Following the work done in #19361 this is the cleanup and improvement of the related logic of waypoint management.
Ref 28050f3#18020
(taking the good parts and ignoring the incomplete work)
- Rename JustRespawned to JustAppeared, which better matches its behavior anyway.
- Properly invoke JustAppeared for new (re-)spawns - fixes#20111.
- Fix Thaddius script to work with dynamic_spawning (mostly unrelated to the above) - Feugen/Stalagg should really be a summon group, but I don't have time to fix that right now.
- Fix default value for DynamicEscortNPC to match worldserver.conf.dist.
- Add a 2 second delay before the AI begins using spells. This should provide opportunity for counterplay before that rogue activates cloak and goes on an unstoppable rampage among your healers. (Sorry, guys.)
- Stopped the AI from attacking invalid targets under some conditions. It should now properly leash back and follow the charmer if we try to select an invalid target.
- Stopped the AI from constantly re-creating the follow movement generator (and thus spamming movesplines).
