Dowse

🔄 v2.0 – Smarter, Simpler, Synced

Dowse 2.0 is a full rewrite of the backend logic to make the addon more reliable and streamlined — especially in raid conditions.

🧠 What Changed:

• ❌ Removed XY coordinate detection:
  WoW Classic does not expose player position (x,y) in MC raid instance, making positional tracking unreliable.
• 🔥 Switched to boss-death tracking via UNIT_DIED, and douse detection via SPELL_CAST_SUCCESS.
• ❗ Note: Eternal Quintessence does not generate a visible spell ID in combat logs, so we cannot detect it unless the player has the addon installed.

✅ How Dowse works now:

• Tracks boss deaths
• Detects Aqual douses via combat log
• Correlates douses to bosses using a 30-second window
• Relies on addon users to broadcast douse events (SendAddonMessage) so others can see them too
• Stores full douse history per run, viewable with /dowse history

🧯 Summary:

Dowse now uses a lightweight, reliable approach:

• Players with the addon will broadcast their own douse actions
• Other players with the addon will receive and log that info
• Douse tracking is more resilient, even if only a few raiders use the addon
