When maintank is incapacitated

[terrorio]

Hello,

Is there any check in the core yet that checks if the Main tank is incapacitated, and if so, the creature should start attack the 2nd on the threat list, until the main tank is free again.

Currently testing stuff and it seems that if a creature cast Gouge, it moves to the 2nd on threat list if available. However with conflagration(state Confused) it does not turn to the 2nd on threat list.

it depends if the first target will lose its state of control due to damage.

Gouge is indeed removed due to damage, however Conflagration doesn't get removed due to damage, But the creature should still go for another target. Is it possible to check for the UNIT_STAT_CONFUSED?(Conflagration) and in what files is this handled by the core? Just learning stuff

In my opinion such "filtering" should be done as part of the threat management.

If you are interested, maybe look here: http://paste2.org/p/1400454

thanks for the info, learned some more about the threat manager now. Got it working now, but not sure if it's clean

[Schmoozerd]

Yes this should do it.

However I cannot tell you if this is correct in terms of what should be done from retail

As far as I know, all the bosses that cast conflagration will ignore the players who have the debuff on them. However I'm not sure about other spells that has the 'UNIT_STAT_CONFUSED' effect. will do more research I'm glad it's working though.
