I noticed some posts in some of the raid/class threads had combat logs with detailed timing information.

Can someone point me to a good one?

The two key features I need are:
1. A log that shows timing information.
2. The ability to save that log to a file (or to a copy/paste buffer)

It would be nice if it also worked as a normal combat logger where I could filter out a bunch of crap and have it display nicely, but even if it doesn't I can just turn it on for specific DPS tests and turn it off again later.

typing /combatlog will toggle logging to a text file in your WoW/Logs directory. This will have timing info in it.

Thank you. Never would have thought it would be in the default UI.

On a light followup to the topic:
- what utility can provide detailed damage/healing done/taken information from the combat log parse;
- what standalone addon can be used to timestamp combat log to miliseconds?

Infused, I am not sure if SimpleCombat log has milliseconds but try it. Also there is web utility that was linked on these forums unde "Sustained DPS" thread. It allows you to upload your combat log for parsing. Also SW_Stats can be of some use.

I have yet to find one, because there's no in-game UI function that gives the actual time to millisecond precision. What you *can* do is use GetTime() to get a time since system startup to millisecond precision.

In theory, you could write an addon that generated a combat log zero-indexed to start of combat via the following pseudocode:

Declare variable combatStarts
Register for combat start event (forget the name of it)
On combat start, combatStarts = GetTime();
On new line in combat log, timestamp printed = GetTime() - combatStarts
