[outdated] Necrotic Orb / Spear Shards cooldown naming/localization inconsistencies

Hey Chip,

I remember you posted that the combat team consolidated the (internal) cooldown for necrotic orb / spear shards synergies some time ago. Now that all ability ranks are consolidated, I noticed some naming inconsistencies between the appropriate combat effect names.

The following cooldowns are all doing the same thing: Applying an effect on your character that prevents the player from using the orb/shards synergy before the lockout period of 15s has run out (internal cooldown).

The following abilities can trigger it:
  1. Necrotic Orb (Undaunted guild skill line)
  2. Energy Orb (Undaunted guild skill line)
  3. Spear Shards (Aedric Spear skill line [Templar])
  4. Luminous Shards (Aedric Spear skill line [Templar])

Here are the ability IDs belonging to the effect names and their localized names (in german), printed by /script d(GetAbilityName(abilityId)):
  1. [85434]: "Speerscherben / nekrotische Kugel CD"
  2. [63512]: "Speerscherben / nekrotische Kugel CD"
  3. [48052]: "Spear Shards / Necrotic Orb CD"
  4. [95924]: "Speerscherben/nekrotische Kugel^N"

As you can see the two effects triggered by both orb morphs are fine: they are localized and match each others name. Spear shards have some issues though: 48052 is not localized properly and 95924 is localized but has a different name, uses escape signs and lacks the spaces before and after the slash.

Could you ask your combat team to consolidate and localize all four ability ID's names into one name ('Speerscherben / nekrotische Kugel CD')?

Cheers, Letho
(and thanks for the consolidation of all ability ranks, makes coding and handling my addon so much easier!)
