GINA triggers for detrimental effects

[ewjax]

I almost exclusively use option #1. Reasons
- you can include the target name in the timer. So if for example you are mezzing a Ghost and a Goblin, you can have a mez timer running for each by including the mob name in the countdown timer
- Fizzles and interrupts will give you false information if you are using Option #2
- If you are raiding, you can go into Options and filter out non-group spell messages. That will limit the number of extra timers that creep onto your screen.

Example of a timer for mez:
Trigger text: ^{s} has been mesmerized
Timer name: <<Mezzed>> --- {s}
Timer duration: 24 seconds

Note however that Dazzle gives exactly the same trigger text, which is annoying:
Trigger text: ^{s} has been mesmerized
Timer name: <<Dazzled>> --- {s}
Timer duration: 96 seconds

This is the downside of Option 1. There are a couple of other examples too, such as the Lull/Calm/Pacify line all give same message, several necro dots, etc. I find I get more utility out of using option 1, and I just put up with the occasional conflicts.

What would be really cool, would be if Gina could span multiple lines for triggers. So if perhaps you could search on
^You begin casting Dazzle
and then within a few lines of text, also search for
^{s} has been mesmerized

Now Gina could discriminate between Mesmerize and Dazzle, and other similar conflicts.

Good luck.
