    This is my UNIT_AURA handler. I'd like to track the Dark Intent proc, not the Buff with the same name. It looks like the only way I can get this is be enumerating buffs by index and then comparing spell IDs to the one I want. If I call UnitBuff(unit, "Dark Intent") I just get the 30 minute self buff, not the proc.

    Do you know of a more efficient way to handle this or is looping through buffs by index the best we got?

    Thanks, Andy

    Don't look at the math too hard, it's not right yet...

     local i_darkintent_bs          = 85768             -- Dark Intent (buff to self)
 local i_darkintent_p           = 94310             -- Dark Intent (proc, stacks up to 3 times)

 -----------------------------------------------------------
 -- UNIT_AURA
 -----------------------------------------------------------
 function edm:UNIT_AURA(unitID)
    --print("UNIT_AURA")
    local _ctime = GetTime()
    local idx = 1
    repeat
        local name, rank, icon, count, debuffType, duration, expirationTime, unitCaster, isStealable, shouldConsolidate, spellID = UnitAura(unitID, idx, nil, "PLAYER|HELPFUL") 
        if spellID and spellID == i_darkintent_p then
            print(name, " count: ", count, ", duration: ", duration, ", expirationTime: ", expirationTime)

            if count == 1 then

                print("DI 1 stack")

                di1beg_t = expirationTime - duration
                di1end_t = expirationTime

            elseif count == 2 then

                print("DI 2 stacks")

                -- if we bump up, total out the 1 stack timer
                di1end_t = _ctime
                di1total_t = di1total_t + (di1end_t - di1beg_t)
                print((di1end_t - di1beg_t), " seconds of 1 stack")

                di2beg_t = expirationTime - duration
                di2end_t = expiration

            elseif count == 3 then
                print("DI 3 stacks")

                -- if we bump up, total out 2 stack timer
                di2end_t = _ctime
                di2total_t = di2total_t + (di2end_t - di2beg_t)
                print((di2end_t - di2beg_t), " seconds of 2 stacks")

                -- we get 7 seconds of 3 stacks, so just add it on
                di3beg_t = expirationTime - duration
                di3total_t = di3total_t + duration
            end
        end 
        idx = idx + 1
    until name == nil
 end

    Try UnitBuff(unit, spellId), but I don't think it works. The best way, failing that, is to iterate like you are.

    You can use UnitBuff(Unit,GetSpellInfo(SpellID)).
