Hi ! Can you help me with the Buff Status option and elaborate a little further (maybe with an example of which spells would show for each option and what differentiates them ?

* Display all buffs
Self explanatory

* Buffs applied by me
Self explanatory

* Buffs relevant for your class
what and how do you filter here ?
* Buffs relevant for your class (light version)
what makes this light ?

* Important buffs flagged by Blizzard
maybe an example since i couldn't get this to trigger on 3 characters

* Big defensive buff
doesn't seem to trigger on my regular personals and only on ardent on my protpal ?
what's the filter here

* External defensive buffs
Self explanatory and works

* Buffs from Blizzard Unit Frames
Self explanatory and works

* Defensive Buff from Blizzard Unit Frames
Self explanatory and works

* Buffs relevant for your class

I call C_UnitAuras.GetUnitAuras() game API function  with the filter "RAID_IN_COMBAT". The  blizzard documentation says:

"RAID_IN_COMBAT (returns auras that are flagged to show on raid frames in combat, when used with Player and Helpful filters this should return mostly just HoTs).

In summary this filter displays HOTs and another things,  description that is not much better than "Buffs relevant for your class", maybe is even worse. 

* Buffs relevant for your class (light version)

Here i use the "RAID" filter, this is an old filter, and Blizzard instead of using this filter they decided to add the "RAID_IN_COMBAT" filter

This filter seems similar to "RAID_IN_COMBAT filter but display less buffs. Maybe i should call this  filter  "wrong" or "deprecated" instead on "light", Im  not sure,  i like this "RAID" filter more for my shaman because "RAID_IN_COMBAT" filter displays some extra short duration buffs  that i dont care about.

* Important buffs flagged by Blizzard

Buffs that blizzard thinks are important.

Addon developers assumption is that a spell is important if the function C_Spell.IsSpellImportant(spellIdentifier) returns True.

The documentation of "C_Spell.IsSpellImportant(spellIdentifier)" says:

"Returns true if the spell is considered important. For example a spell that's lethal if not interrupted would be considered important."

So this description only has sense for debuffs and non-aura spells, not buffs. So i dont know if there is even important buffs flagged by blizzard.

Maybe this filter is useless, i dont know, things are changing  every few days in the game, and if you ask to different  developers/teams  inside blizzard you can even get contradictory answers. But as the filter is there in the game  i added it to the addon configuration.

I am open to suggestions to improve the descriptions, but i dont have more accurate information about these filters.
