MUST access it in this fasion, if you want to specify what TYPE of buff you want to set the tooltip to.

local buffIndex, untilCancelled = GetPlayerBuff(blah.index, "HARMFUL");

GameTooltip:SetPlayerBuff(buffIndex);

From what I can understand, GetPlayerBuff sets what type of buff-type that SetPlayerBuff will use. It will use whatever last type of buff you specified in GetPlayerBuff, hence the reason you should specify GetPlayerBuff right before you call SetPlayerBuff.

I also tried to have GameTooltip:SetPlayerBuff(blah.index), seeing as how blah.index and buffIndex are the same number, but it wouldn't work. You MUST have it as above.

Options for GetPlayerBuff are : HELPFUL|HARMFUL|PASSIVE
