A simple life

Posted 18-05-09 at 12:03 AM by pewsey

I started WoW very soon after release on Dragonblight. I started raiding about 2-3 months later.

Ninia - Press 2 MOAR !

Posted 07-05-08 at 9:24 PM by pewsey

I can poke fun at Ninia, mostly because he's one of our really rocking mages, but here's a report from where I'm up to.

Code:

Ninia - you are not prepared
5/5 [19:49:40.609] Ninia casts Scorch at Rage Winterchill for  570 526R 0A 0C DELAY = 1531

Posthoc - analysis of combat log entries

Posted 14-03-08 at 8:33 PM by pewsey

After some rather amusing efforts on Illidari Council (we can kill them, just some people are strangely attracted to fire) I've decided to invest some time in development of tools that can do posthoc analysis of the fights using different criteria to a standard WWS parse.

I'm interested in examining sloth like behaviour in getting out of AOE, as well as looking at consumable use (potions, bandages) and finally a more detailed look at combat such as misses, dodges, parries by both...
