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

Due to dynamic spawns, we need to be able to update the Npc GUID after the respawn, otherwise the quest can only be completed by the first player
(cherry picked from commit 72ff2e30c3)
- 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
(cherry picked from commit cb9e72e521)
- Triggers can no longer have a threat list (this may expose some ugliness in old legacy scripts)
- Threat entries are forced to OFFLINE if the AI refuses to attack the target
- Clean up passive creature evade behavior to be more consistent
- Fix a months old issue in spawn group management that would cause "Inactive" to incorrectly show in .list respawns for system groups outside of map 0
- Valithria script cleanups, remove old hacks and make it work with the new system. Closes#21174.
- Some strings cleanup
(cherry picked from commit 9f9507e6a1)
- PvE combat is now always mutual. UNIT_FLAG_IN_COMBAT is backed by actual references to the units we're in combat with.
- PvP combat is now also tracked, and almost always mutual; spells like Vanish and Feign Death can break this rule. That means we can easily determine a list of players we're fighting.
- By extension, IsInCombatWith now has sensible behavior when invoked on nonplayers.
- Threat and combat systems are no longer the same.
- They still have an enforced relationship (threat implies combat - clearing combat clears threat)...
- ...but we can have combat without threat. A creature (with threat list) isn't considered to be engaged until it has an entry on its threat list...
- ...which means we can now faithfully replicate retail engage behavior. Combat on projectile launch - engagement start on projectile impact. Yay for progress!
- AI method refactor, as already ported in 6113b9d - `JustEngagedWith`, `JustEnteredCombat` and `JustExitedCombat`.
- Vehicle threat is now properly pooled on the main vehicle body (fixes#16542).
- Various edge case bug fixes for threat redirects (Misdirection "cancelling" Vigilance and similar).
- Target re-selection is now significantly faster.
- Fixed a ton of other smaller edge case bugs, probably.
Closes#7951 and #19998.
(cherry picked from commit 532ab1c7f8)
- Added missing _Reset
- Properly register Skyriss summons in SummonList
Closes#21154
