Maybe this explains why some people find the combat log hard to read?

 

[Description of the issue]

Sometimes entries in the combat log are duplicated, and it's unclear why.

 

[DETAILED list of steps to reproduce the issue AND what to look for]

1. In this particular example, I went up to one of the *Missing String* cultist archers with my druid.

2. Cast Sunbeam on it.

3. Observe two entries for its damage (one before and after the debuff entry).

 

[Expected behaviour]

3. Should only see one entry.

 

[Files]

This attached screenshot should hopefully explain what I'm seeing. The damage numbers show up twice. At first I thought that meant I was doing twice as much damage, but the red numbers that actually appear above the enemy suggest not.

Hey thelee,

 

Spells/Abilities that do damage and apply status effects will roll each individually. Sunbeam blinds if I'm remembering correctly so it will roll once for damage and again to see if the character becomes blinded.
