    What version of Grid2 are you using?

    r946

     

     

     

    Issue:

    For a long time, I've had Grid2 set up to color my unitframes if I can dispel a given effect from a player (using the usual debuff colors). I made a distinct 'DebuffsDispellable' status for this using the 'Dispellable by Me' option because the default Curse/Disease/Magic/Poison statuses seem to only allow filtering on a class-by-class basis. That would mean that I can't color the frame based on Magic debuffs on, say, my Paladin when in Holy spec but not do so when in Ret/Prot spec.

     

    Here's a screenshot of my Debuffs group setup:

     

     

    This has worked just fine for me for some time; however, 8.3 brought along the Corruption system, and this means players are very frequently affected by Grasping Tendrils, a Magic-dispellable slow effect. The problem here is that frames are now so often showing a Magic debuff available for dispel that it can be hard to track the actual, important Magic effects to dispel on some fights (such as N'zoth). While I can call special attention to these buffs in other ways, it's still very distracting to see Magic debuffs come up on frames when I'm anticipating having to deal with a given debuff on a fight, but then (maybe after dispelling a a Tendril) realizing I needed to save my dispel for another time.

     

    The ideal fix for me would be to include a Blacklist section for this Debuffs group, like other Debuff groups have (this seems to only be restricted if you do select 'Dispellable by Me'). Here's how it looks in the Magic debuffs group:

     

     

    Would it be possible to add a blacklist section, like in the above example, to a Debuffs group where you have selected 'Dispellable by Me'?

     

    Another possible fix would be to allow more granular options on the built-in Curse/Disease/Magic/Poison debuff groups such that I could use those statuses with their built-in blacklisting but not show debuff coloring when I'm not actually able to do anything about a given debuff because my class/spec doesn't have a way to clear that debuff.

     

    Thanks!

    In version r950-beta I enabled a black list for dispelleable debuffs.

    Just tested - seems to be working well! Will keep testing tonight to see if any issues crop up.
