Looking at the current death reports, I had a player tell me he died to burn on Brutallus, when Recoutn stated he died to a melee swing.

I'm not sure what's in the right here, but if anyone else has had similiar inaccuracies it may be worth looking into.

Also, the death reports as of yesterday did not seem to actually be able to send to other people (it would just print the header).

Before 2.4, I used to use Assessment(Ace addon) to report how someone died. (Like on archimonde)

I use GrimReaper now. It looks very nice, although I haven't figured out how to use it properly without tagging along with xperl yet. (I use pitbull for my unitframe now)

First off, have to say I love this add-on, and I've found it to be quite a bit more useful and user-friendly (excellent going on this especially) than the other available damage and healing meters.

One request I have is a possible refinement of the healing distribution pie chart. Would it be possible to show the different ranks of healing spell casts as well as the relative frequency of the type of spell (e.g. Holy Light 7 vs. 9 vs. 11 and GHeal 3 vs. GHeal 7, etc.)? If this is at all possible, it would be a real help to a bunch of the healers (and especially guild healing officers) out there using this add-on.

Again, great work so far, and thanks for giving us all an excellent add-on.

I absolutely love Recount. It's an amazing addon, and I'm very thankful I have it as a raid leader for on-the-fly analysis of what we can do better on boss fights.

That being said, I've got a pet peeve with it: The tooltip. Every time I mouse over to change the section of the parse (i.e. to view how someone did on Moroes vs. Shade) I get a gargantuan tooltip displaying that most of our warlock's damage is from shadowbolts, right over the little file icon. Some easy solutions for this would be to the tooltips grow down by default (making it so they'll never overlap the top bar), add an option to hide the tooltips completely, or to make it so the top bar can be moved to the bottom of the window (so the configuration, report buttons, ect is all down below the meters as opposed to above). Possibly a fourth option to add to the third is to add an option to set the tooltip to grow down or up from the cursor as well as adding an option to have the bar at the bottom or the top of the window?

Also, I second the distinguishing between different ranks of heals. That would help me a ton, especially with our disc. priest : )

I walk through walls.

I've been comparing Violation and Recount, and... they don't seem to agree. For example, I was testing out the dps of a frost spec, and Recount thought I was getting 874 dps. Violation thought I was getting... 1400dps. This is with them running simultaneously, on the same test (on Dr. Boom).

Recount's dps is apparently correct (i.e. total damage / time == dps), and I can't get that data from Violation for some reason. Even if I don't do anything funky with water elementals and just spam frostbolt, recount will think I'm doing 784dps, and Violation will think I'm doing 830dps.

What gives?

 

Beska

I'm assuming one does:
whereas the other does:
Which will result in the latter giving a lower DPS reading.

Given that I was essentially chain-casting frostbolts and then using invisibility when I went oom, I'm not sure how any measure of "activity" that was different from "time in combat" would make sense :/

 

Beska

Invisibility is at least 5 seconds of standing still, which will increase combat time doing nothing. Whenever you had breaks, or stopped for a moment, or popped a potion, or anything where you were not casting a spell at that exact moment attacks your DPS.

While death counts do seem to appear accurately on Recount now, occassionally (and seemingly randomly) the detailed report on a player's death is missing. Any idea why this could be happening? I've noticed occassionally the combatlog reads "Florense's death misses Florense", could that be why?

 

Bloodtear

The only thing that I find annoying with the was dps is calculated is that when I die and there are still my dots/hots running around after I'm dead, the remainder of their duration gets added to my active/in combat time.
While the total damage done should increase, the time should stop the moment I die.

 

Bigbazz

I love this addon, however i do find it tends to be fairly inaccurate at calculating "DPS".

For example.


We do a boss fight and in every case where there is a player using "Dots" in their damage rotation, their "DPS" will show as considerably lower than any player not using dots, regardless of how much damage is done. Ive seen in some cases it can be out quite a lot where ive seen a warlock (Destruction/shadow) showing with 1800dps but with a lot less damage done than someone doing say 1200dps who is Dots in thier rotation.

Another annoying thing is how it counts you still in combat after death, any dots running will considerably lower your dps.

A boss fight the night before last i was doing 2200dps on solarian in tempest keep. Unfortunately i got killed by the boss. I had "Current fight" selected on recount and after my death i watched my dps fall from 2200 to 1600 as my deep wounds ticked away. The outcome of the fight (after downed) showed me on top of the "damage done" by a fair ammount, but my "DPS" showing a fair bit lower than others.

Forgive me if this has been asked, but is there a way to save data from boss encounters, kinda in the same way as "WWS" works. id very much like to keep an archive for different fights to see where im going wrong and evaluate on upgrades in my equipment and my performance. I have had a look and it doesnt appear that the addon has the feature at the moment.


Aside from that, good job on the addon, its the best that ive seen by a long way.

i want to hide the realtime raiddps window via lua script, so i need to have the name of that window, can´t get it by myself. Can anyone please help me?

 

koaschten

You might want to look into how the /recount realtime commands are called. If you can run script commands try calling "/recount realtime dps".

 

aadric

I have been experiencing the same thing. In addition sometimes the death log is simply dead wrong. For example it will show someone dying to a 10k Meteor Slash when in fact they died behind Brutallus from Burn. Other times it will seem accurate but in fact heals on the person are missing (but show up in the combat log).

The death log is the only function of Recount I use. Can anyone recommend a more reliable replacement?

 

koaschten

Expiration might help you out there.

 

aadric

Reinstalling sadly did not fix the problem. Expiration is nice but not as good as Recount used to be.

I am a undead rogue in T4 2pc, 15/41/5 build

I have noticed the same thing regarding Recount vs. Violation giving me two different DPS totals (violation consistently being ~80 points higher) given these two formulas, which is more accurate, for purposes of calculating my DPS?

I love recount although it sometimes omits one member of the praty/raid for some reason. Just a piece of advice for someone who is going to be downloading this. Don't tell ANYONE you have it or you will constantly be bothered to whisper meters to them and should they be in first will then ask you to show to raid! I love this addon and use it to dissect so many things in a raid but I will be telling people that I deleted it as I was having FPS problems and had to get rid of some addons.

 

Kuervoh

Is there a way to have Recount display specific information about a target, such as how much damage is done for each per to a specific mob? I know you can hover over a name and display it that way but is there a way to track it without hovering over each individual user?

For 10-man Sarth+3D, people are high on the meters but they're padding it w/ AOE attacks. I'm interested in seeing how much damage is being done to each drake so we can see what kind of adjustments need to be made.

 

Goetterdaemmerung

This exact question was answered a few hours ago, in this same forum...

 

Kuervoh

Sorry. I did a search THIS thread about Recount and looked over some of the more recent posts. I guess I should have searched the entire forum in a random thread about "Current Available Damage Meters" instead, eh?

In any case, thanks for the heads-up.

 

kenderpl

Did dig around a bit but can't find it - how do you turn off close icon of the window - it seems to be the only icon that's not configurable from the GUI menu - onyl possible by changing .lua code?

 

macbuz

I've done considerable reading through the forums here and elsewhere. One question continues to recur to me and it regards comments about one's dps. I have seen mention where individuals speak about doing 5k dps.

Regarding recount, in the 'Damage Done' window there will be a line - 1. Joe ...... "37005 (3065.9, 50.5%)". Referring to this, if someone says hey do 5k dps, would their 5000 dps show in place of the 3065.9 in the above example? Or in other words would Joe say he does 3k+ dps?

Sorry for the fundamental question - I've asked around in many forums and never seem to get a straight answer - wondering if I'm asking crooked questions?

 

BFG

Yes, if someone did 5k dps, it would display it in 3065.9 place, and yes Joe in your example does 3k+ dps according to the meter.

No, this is not a whine post. It's legal to be a pessimist.

 

toroman

is there a way to show and hide raid dps window with a code like /run recount.maninwindow:show() and hide() ? i want to use a code like this for Raid dps window.
