To consolidate discussion and reduce questions regarding the availability of raid buffs and debuffs I've posted this.

Here is a Google Docs - Raid Buffs Spreadsheet for easy viewing.

*Totems of same element, paladin blessings, paladin auras, warrior shouts, hunter pets, warlock curses. All such categories provide only one buff/debuff per character supplying it.
The Google Docs spreadsheet link has addition utility type buff/debuff/abilites listed.
I've added (de)buff names/spell ids to the second sheet on the google doc.

Earth Shock also provides the 20% increased time between attacks debuff

I very much like the spreadsheet. As a suggestion, could you freeze the top two rows so that when you scroll down the list you can always see the class name?

Under External Defensive Cooldowns, you have priest cooldowns listed under Shaman column
Under 5% spell haste - you have "Shadow Form - Balance"

bondra · 10/20/10, 10:24 AM

Necrotic Strike of DK also provide 30% casting speed debuff

Pumbaa · 10/20/10, 1:35 PM

5% spell haste: Moonkin Form-Balance, Shadow Form-Balance, Wrath of Air Totem(air*)

Small error there, should be "Shadow Form-Shadow".

It's also obviously possible for Feral cats to supply "+20% time between attacks", though it's far from optimal.

Edit: Mana Restoration from druids is also pretty much limited to Balance and Resto, since it's based on total mana, and Ferals have really small mana pool.

I think a worthwhile addition to the OP would be to also add the names of the auras themselves (which sometimes differ from the name of the spell providing them), so people know what to include in their buff filters.

e.g.
"5% Spell Haste: Moonkin Aura (Balance Druid), Mind Quickening (Shadow Priest), Wrath of Air Totem (any Shaman)."
And similarly, note ones like Communion which cannot be filtered for.

semedori · 10/31/10, 6:24 AM

I updated the google doc to have a second sheet containing the names of buffs/debuffs as well as spell ids of each.
The buff names should be all correct now.
A lot of the spell ids were guesswork from wowhead, I tried to mark ones I was more uncertain of. Below are macros you can use to find the spell IDs in game if your so inclined.

--macro to list your own buffs
/run for i=1,40 do local name,rank,icon,count,debuffType, duration, expirationTime,unitCaster,isStealable,shouldConsolidate,spellId=UnitBuff("player",i); if name then print(i.."="..name..", spellID= "..spellId) end end

--macro to list your targets debuffs
/run for i=1,40 do local name,rank,icon,count,debuffType, duration, expirationTime,unitCaster,isStealable,shouldConsolidate,spellId=UnitDebuff("target",i); if name then print(i.."="..name..", spellID= "..spellId) end end

So it seems the healing received reduction from frost mages Permafrost is not specifically detectable, it get's rolled into the Frostbolt debuff which is indistinguishable from an untalented or even fire mage's Frostbolt debuff.

Semedori big thanks for the list. It was a great help.

I made a mod that allows tracking and filtering of buffs and debuffs for specific units. It handles spellids aswell as spellid-lists. Cooldowns can be tracked aswell.

I also included a mod that enhances your tooltip with the spellid information, so hovering a buff/debuff will get you the spellid.

For more information check the addon info page:
rFilter3 : Buff/Debuff/Spell Mods : WoWInterface Downloads

If you have any relating questions just let me know.

Mana tide totem doesn't exactly restore mana it increases spirit by 350%, which (correct me if I'm wrong) will grant only healers increased mana regen.

kirafishy · 11/07/10, 3:39 AM

a spreadsheet error:
Earth Shock in "+20% time between attacks" row should in Shaman's column, it's now in Warlock's column.

complexxL9 · 11/07/10, 4:49 PM

Made excel spreadhseet for personal use, somewhat limited and probably lots of bugs, but you might find it useful until raid comp gets updated.

Healing Steam Totem (water) provides the spell resistance buff when glyphed

Necro'd thread, but anyway...

The rogue talent "Waylay" also provides 20% attack speed dehaste for tanking debuffs. It's a tier 2 subtlety talent so accessible to all specs in theory, but subtlety sacrifices the least to get it, combat sacrifices the most.

Also 12% armor reduction is accessible to all rogue specs, not just assassination. The only thing improved expose armor in the assassination tree does is refund the combo points for applying the debuff, it's a convenience/utility talent, and one generally not worth taking.

Only Subtlety will provide any sort of reasonable uptime on Waylay. Backstabbing before Execute range is a fairly large DPS loss for Mut, and is basically impossible for Combat without an absolutely crippling degree of weapon swapping.
