This was taken from Genie but the same principle applies to Stormfront, I can provide logs which look very similar if you feel it will be helpful. Something about Barb abilities changed on the back-end in the last 4-8 weeks which makes tracking with active spell window very spotty.
The specific issue is that when activating a new ability for the first time the spell window updates fine, but once the duration finishes and ability drops, spell tracker still displays them with durations of the last time since the spell window changed. You can see this reflected in the pastes above: spell tracker says I have several berserks running (when I don't), I manually force a refresh with a RAGE wand, and then it updates tp reflect active abilities correctly and berserks are no longer present. This applies to all Barbarian ability types that reflect in the spell window (forms, berserks, meditations).
Please let me know if any further details or logs will be helpful.

This one was my fault, I think. I made a change back in December that was supposed to make the mechanic more resource friendly behind-the-scenes. Basically anyone who ever had a spell cast on them was trying to update their spell window forever, even after spells wore off and no buffs were there. Now it only tries to refresh if there is something actually there.
Barbarians had special handling that I missed, and the refresh part was being dropped. Thanks to a quick QC from Grejuva, I think this should be better now. Let us know if it's still off!

Actually there is still a bug with this.
If you have no abilities running and have a non-barb spell cast on you, for me it was HES, it still doesn't show in the Active Spells window until you start at least one barb ability. This makes MED DISPEL a bit less useful unless we can see all spells on us all the time.

Pondering how to resolve this. Tricky situation with the way it's set up currently. May just return barbs to the old way before I meddled. Gimme a day or two to dig more, will update when I can!

I could live with a non-barb spell cast on us triggering the update to the Active Spells window so that we know it's there (good or bad spells). Duration doesn't matter. Then MED DISPEL also updates the window when it is used. Then it's all normal normal when we have barb abilities up, as you have it now. Just trying to help ;-)

I'm seeing spells in my Active Spells window removed by MED DISPEL pretty quick even when no abilities are running. So I think it's just if we get spells cast on us Barbs when no other abilities are running showing up.

I've reverted the barb handling for the active spell window to the way it was before I made updates in December.
Barb handling of the window feels weird, but this happened while I was away from DR so I'm not familiar with the discussions around it at the time. The ability doesn't show spells, only your berserks/barb things. But unless I missed something, the spell window was/is set to show spells as well. Thieves are set to see their khri, but they don't see spells. I left that aspect alone when I was updating things, but it feels inconsistent.
For now, I've not changed the existing behavior, but we'll have a discussion on it and post if anything changes either way. Ultimately, my original tweak was just meant to be an invisible behind-the-scenes thing!
