Spine of Deathwing Searing Plasma warnings

In release 4.10.4 r6839, the "show boss health with a health bar for Searing Plasma" desperately needs to be moved to the normal info frame. Only showing a single Searing Plasma victim at a time is pretty much useless in a 25-player raid; the names are replaced by the next victim so quickly they almost can't be seen, and the percentage absorbed pretty much just sits at a single digit before starting over on a fresh player.

I know the info frame is currently used by the "show players without Grasping Tendrils" but healers largely won't care about those players. I suggest letting players choose either Searing Plasma *or* no-Grasping-Tendrils for displaying in the info frame. The existing checkboxes are enough, so no new UI element types need to be invented for the options list. If a player tries to check both options, then display an error or whatever. Or possibly just throw both kinds of names on the info frame and let the player figure it out.

also I'm assuming that the nil error from the 'plasmarTargets' typo has already been fixed in alpha code; I just edited my local copy and stopped thinking about it. That wasn't the point of the thread tho.

On an unrelated point, that option is itself buggy: it lists players in the raid group who aren't even in the raid zone.

Re: Spine of Deathwing Searing Plasma warnings

The infoframe always worked like that, it always listed ppl without a specific debuff as long as they were in the raidgroup and did not have the (de)buff

Searing Plasma has been fixed in the latest alpha, or it should be fixed as I havent been able to fully test it myself this week yet. It should list all targets and not be 'replaced' when another player gets the debuff

The typo was idd also already fixed in the alpha

Ugh. That's a hassle for raids trying to rotate people in and out.

Would it be feasible to build a list of raiders actually in the instance at the start of an encounter, and restrict testing to that subset? It would only have to be done once at the beginning, since people cannot zone in during a boss fight.

Wonderful, thank you!
