    Not sure if this is a bug, but it seems like one. I set up a debuff status effect, with just boss debuff selected, which are also not dispellable:

     

     

     

    Yet I found by luck a debuff, which was to my surprise shown via this debuff indicator:

     

     

    As you can see, it is casted "by myself", yet it counts as "boss debuff" it seems. Not sure if you need to allow the checkboxes too for "non self casted", because GRID2 hides the checkbox if you not select "non boss debuffs" but only "boss debuffs" as seen in the picture above. So I guess boss debuffs yet exists which are also self casted, like in this case?

    Boss debuffs are decided by the game. And this kind of debuff does not necessary mean "casted by a boss",  they are debuffs  blizzard thinks are  important in the boss combat/mechanics.

    Anyways you can click on "blacklist" and add a list of debuffs  exceptions.

    Mh. But wouldnt allow the "not casted by self" + "boss debuff", you hide the checkbox if you enabled boss debuff and not boss debuff together, solf this? adding blacklist would be too annoying, I dont want to add randomly debuffs I find over the time. I just want to see boss debuffs which are not decursable and also not casted by self (because those are mostly irrelevant). grid2 auto hides the checkbox if you do that, and if there was a checkbox to tick, that issue would be solved already.

     

     

    I want these 3 conditions. But if you uncheck "non boss debuffs" grid2 hides and ignores "non self casted" and also "short duration".

     

    Allow them with boss debuffs and this issue would be solved. WoW would give the boss debuff, grid2 would then ignore them if a user selected "not cast by self".

    Thank you I will! I found another bug in this context:

     

     

    The dispellable debuff is in this case shown, even the checkbox "dispellable by me" is not ticked. So I guess this is not an hard AND condition how grid2 handles this, but it should be. Or you maybe include an and/or checkbox next to each of the conditions to check.

     

    "non boss" + "boss" are together obviously always OR. "whitelist" and "blacklist" can just one be checked.

     

    the "dispellable by me" makes more sense as an AND condition though not an OR. not sure if there are cases where an or would make sense, so maybe add a checkbox for and/or if you would want this to be there. 

     

    Or make two checkboxes "dispellable by me" and "not dispellable by me" and it toggles back and forth what you click. And then it is a hard AND with the rest.

     

     

    not sure what would be the best implementation for this.

    "Dispellable by Me"  was an special case. But the code was refactored recently, and in latest alpha versions there are two options "Dispellable by me" and "Not-dispellable be Me".
