125 - Anub'arak phase 3 timer fix

The BigWigs Shadow Strike timer ends 1.5 seconds too soon after Anub'arak casts Leeching swarm. Leeching Swarm has a 1.5 second cast time during which the games own Shadow Strike timer is suppressed. The BigWigs Shadow Strike timer should be paused during the cast of Leeching Swarm or more preferably, 1.5 seconds should be added to the BigWigs Shadow Strike timer during or after Leeching Swarm has been cast.

[22:10:19.543] Nerubian Burrower begins to cast Shadow Strike
[22:10:43.449] Anub'arak begins to cast Leeching Swarm
[22:11:50.933] Nerubian Burrower begins to cast Shadow Strike

91.5 seconds

Stuns are being used to suppress Nerubian Burrower's Shadow Strike from above log.

That's strange, because I did it last time on Thursday, and everything worked fine.

mm, doing Anub25 HC today, i kinda noticed that cooldown bars for Shadow Strike isnt showing anymore at the start of phase 3.. and after Nerubian Burrowers cast it, Shadow Strike cooldown bar still isnt showing..

I've committed a experimental, untested and even drycoded fix for this. Please test extensively.

Clicking on the BigWigs map button to restart the mod fixes that problem and I agree that the Shadow Strike timer is very reliable before phase 3.

Shadow strike timer seemed to continue even after leaving instance and was also displaying in normal mode and seemed to be generally inaccurate. The "casting shadow strike" was very reliable. r6519

Sorry for not being more specific. He casts Leeching Swarm only once and only upon reaching 30% health. Leeching Swarm only affects the Shadow Strike timer that is running at the time of the cast. In order to avoid a problem where the wrong timer is lengthened, 1.5 seconds should be added to the BigWigs Shadow Strike timer the moment Leeching Swarm is cast. I can't remember why I thought it might be better to add 1.5 seconds to the timer instead of momentarily stopping it but stopping it might be easier. Your call.

The timers for Freezing Slash and Penetrating Cold are not affected.

[22:32:37.387] Anub'arak casts Penetrating Cold
[22:32:43.433] Anub'arak begins to cast Leeching Swarm
[22:32:53.043] Anub'arak casts Penetrating Cold

15.656 seconds is less than 16.5 seconds

[19:58:23.371] Anub'arak casts Freezing Slash on Vitriol
[19:58:39.902] Anub'arak begins to cast Leeching Swarm
[19:58:43.496] Anub'arak casts Freezing Slash on Vitriol

20.125 seconds is less than 21.5 seconds

So you're saying he will always cast Leeching Swarm and that 1.5seconds should be added to all timers, or in possible cases that he does cast it, 1.5 seconds should be added? As the latter is somewhat more complicated than the former. :-)
