I think currently mangos works a bit incorrectly with trigger spells, I can't check it at bliz, but I hope devs will handle this.

Current mangos state:

for example

1. Shaman casts Earth Shield at friendly player, for example Warrior.

2. combat log says: [original caster - Shaman's] shield heals [caster - Warrior] blah blah.

I mean that doesn't matter who cast trigger spell, mangos will recognize original caster (who applied aura) as caster.

Maybe it is bliz like, I don't know.

So what is the problem?

1. Boss Akil'Zon at Zul'Aman cast spell http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=43648 at enemy target

2. 43648 triggers http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=43658

3. 43658 triggers http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=43657 that has TARGET_ALL_FRIENDLY_UNITS_AROUND_CASTER

5. mangos casts 43657 at all Akil'Zon's (original caster) friendly units, that is wrong

thanx.

But can anyone (or devs) tell - why mangos uses original caster for triggered spells? there should be a reason.

logicaly if aura trigger some spell, that spell shall not inherit original caster from aura.

I think originalcaster is used to (1) send correct combat log (2) calculate the damage bonus

earth shield generate threat on the healer and not at target

From wowwiki:

"Patch 3.0.2 (2008-10-14): Earth Shield threat is now added to the healer. Previously the threat was added to the target being healed. "

So this is in fact expected (for 3.x cores, at least)

Hundekuchen is working on the 2.4.3 Branch "One" like I do. That's why we tried to get Threat added to the Earth Shield's target but did not yet succeed.
