Are ranks gone or not ?

[Rilgamon]

While rewriting my addon I noticed that casting Power Word: Fortitude has different spellIds (79104 on my target and 79105 on me) ... I thought that ranks were gone ? Does that mean I still have to maintain a list of possible spellIds for certain spells or is this just a bug ?

				[79104] = {
					["debuffType"] = "Magic",
					["personalSpell"] = true,
					["spellId"] = 79104,
					["lastSeen"] = 1289044562,
					["shouldConsolidate"] = 1,
					["duration"] = 3600,
					["unitCaster"] = "player",
					["expirationTime"] = 24599.143,
					["seenOn"] = "target",
					["filter"] = "HELPFUL",
					["count"] = 0,
					["durationMax"] = 3600,
					["firstSeen"] = 1289040133,
					["name"] = "Machtwort: Seelenstärke",
					["icon"] = "Interface\\Icons\\Spell_Holy_WordFortitude",
					["rank"] = "",
				},
				[79105] = {
					["personalSpell"] = true,
					["spellId"] = 79105,
					["lastSeen"] = 1289045211,
					["duration"] = 3600,
					["expirationTime"] = 24605.17,
					["unitCaster"] = "player",
					["icon"] = "Interface\\Icons\\Spell_Holy_WordFortitude",
					["debuffType"] = "Magic",
					["shouldConsolidate"] = 1,
					["filter"] = "HELPFUL",
					["seenOn"] = "player",
					["name"] = "Machtwort: Seelenstärke",
					["durationMax"] = 3600.001,
					["firstSeen"] = 1289040135,
					["count"] = 0,
					["rank"] = "",
				},

Yes ranks are gone.

I think the rank of the spell is gone, but the rank of the buff may still be here due to different level'ed people (?)

Spells only have one ID now, unless some NPC is using a different version of the spell. Spells kinda scale with player level now, instead of using actual ranks, afaik.

I think it may be something similar to this. On my shaman pre patch I would get errors "your target is to low level" when using certain healing spells. Now I no longer get that error but.
I was in a Molten Core last night with a bunch of level 60's as well as some level 80's. The level 80 mage made a table but the food didn't scale?

Not sure if it's used at all in UnitAura, but I'm pretty sure it got left in for compatibility reasons even if it's not. In GetSpellInfo, the old rank return is now the requirement text in the tooltip ("Requires Battle Stance", etc).

Edit: Oh. Derp. Perhaps they used a different version of the spell for party/selfcast?

Had not much time to test it ... yesterday I was in vh and all got
the same buff-spellId ... I'll test it again with my 80-priest ... the previous
tests were on my little shadow who is level 14

Food never has and probably never will scale.

To comment the spell database, it stores every version of every spell that ever existed, even some joke spells back in pre-alpha versions of vanilla WoW.
