Stacking Buffs. DressRoom addon

GeorgeBlack

I'm using DressRoom for my gear/abilities sets, as I PvP, tank, DPS.
It's a great Addon.

The other day I was in Cyrodiil and I created a new set only with Rapid Manouvere because I was gonna run a big distance solo so I wanted to avoid dragging the ability to my skillsbar.

As I was running around I got attacked by some AD eu Vivec noob. Now even though I was in combat, on my horse, with Rapid Manouvere buff on (giving me speed) I opened the DressRoom addon window, clicked my PvP set and I had my PvP skills rdy for use.
Two things.
One. Since I was in combat I shouldn't be able to change my skillsbar.
Two. Since Rapid Manouvere was removed, I should lose my speed buffs. The buff was still active.


After I killed that AD eu Vivec proctard, I went ahead to create a gear/ability set which I named Bug Test, and slided Shuffle (which I don't use, it's cheap and should not be part of Eso combat) Flames Of Oblivion, Deadly Cloak and Rapid Manouvere.

I activeted all these buffs from Bug Test gear/ability set and then clicked on PvP gear/abilities set.
My skillbar changed. I still had Shuffle on and Rapid Manouvere.
The addon also has an option to assign hotkeys to change gear sets.


This can be exploited. People can select a gear/ability set with a skillbar full of buffs, activate them and proceed to enter combat having selected their PvP gear/abilities set, while still maintaining certain buffs.

Adding the fact that this exploit can happen mid combat AND with the use of hotkeys, we have a serious problem of players accesding a third skillbar, a buffing bar for certain stack buffs.


I love DressRoom. I fear that my post may ruin my fav addon.
It needs to be looked at either by the addon creator, or @ZOS

NO, you cant change anything in combat. its annoying as hell when u try to disengage to change gear and have to wait for cooldown.

What do you mean by NO?
I am reporting a bug.

But as u said u can buff up BEFORE entering combat, change gear and still have the buffs active. I dont see that as a big problem though since u can only do it once.

I changed my abilities mid combat by using Dressroom. Not GEAR.

IN ADDITION. Later on I produced a scenario in which I was buffed by abilities that were not slotted.
In ADDITION some buffs like SHUFFLE, RAPID MANOUEVERE remain active after being removed from the skillsbars. Flames Of Oblivion and Deadly Cloak were cancelled once removed from the skillsbar.

Entering combat doesn't prevent you from changing abilities, getting hit does (for a certain duration).

I'll wait for a @Zos reply that using DressRoom in such manner does not break any rules or is being considered an exploit.

I report that certain buffs such as Shuffle remain active after usage, even after being removed from skillsbars.
I report that most buffs don't remain active after usage when being removed from skillsbars. Eg Flames Of Oblivion, unstoppable, deadly cloak.

Need fix to avoid imbalances and giving a handicap to certain builds.
