Apate & Cloak-SH
Look at Curse for Anavar's Attack Speedometer or Skrom's Attack Speed

I haven't switched from titan to fu yet; maybe now is the time to switch. are there any major gotchas that i should look out for?

The default texture for fubar is ugly as sin. Just replace background.tga with another texture (If you need one that looks good I have a brushed one that is similar to titans).

Another thing to know is that fubar has no plugins by default (you'll just get an empty bar). WowAce downloads should have most, if not all, of the plugins you'll ever need. They're all prefixed with "FuBar_" so look in the F's for them.

TY it sounds like it could be a fun mod. :]

Or as a lot of use do, you can make FuBar totally transparent and just leave the icons "floating". If you unhook fuBar from the screen frame you can resize and reposition as you see if as well. I like to stick an eePanel behind mine for some nice effects.

Screenshot of my ui (fubar is sitting on the top and bottom) I've always really liked that texture myself :P

(UI is a lot less cluttered than it looks, I run on a 21in LCD)

As I mentioned, I dislike the addon =/. I am looking for a more customizable addon that can pretty much just tell me when BOF/BOP are cast since thats all I care about.

Custom SCT Event?

You can also pick up FuTextures from WowAce for a pack of 19 or so background textures. What I've found I like to do is set the background completely transparent, and then put XPBarNone (WowAce) behind FuBar (Set XPBarNone's strata to the lowest possible). Essentially my FuBar background 'fills' as I gain experience or reputation.

I have some addon that whispers the message "I am bandaging. Save your mana" or somesuch to any raid healer that even so much as targets me. In combat or out. It only whispers to healing classes.

It may be coincidental but an awful lot of those healers commented how their ping times were jumping up by a few seconds and it usually seemed to be right after targetting me for a heal.

What addon is this? or how do I get rid of that message. Anyone know?

It's quite easy to find out by doing this, I assume you are running Windows XP or Vista;
You should now see which file (addon) includes the bandaging text and can uninstall the addon.

I have 2 (newbie) questions:
- where does the data come from in Praetorian's post? (with the specific time and everything)
- I'm looking for something that I assumed was simple, but apparently isn't: I want a way to dump a combat log in a text file, with precise time as in the example above, and as precise information as possible. If it could include all the info for my raid group it would be even better. I know that WSS does something like that, but since somebody else in my guild is taking the WSS dumps, I never got to see one. I alway see the parsed info on lorendil.

That's from a combat log that's been parsed with WoW Web Stats (WWS). You can look at the exact combat log on there. From any WWS go to Browse -> Browse Log File.

Example: Wow Web Stats

To get the log dumps use /combatlog

use once to start recording, use again to stop. Exit wow there should be a file named WoWCombatLog.txt in your /logs folder.

It will be VERY convoluted (for the time being, getting fixed in 2.4 iirc) then you need to just parse it using WWS or something similar.

Note that the log file is cumulative (ie it persists through sessions and just adds onto the end of it) so if you want a clean log each time remember to delete it. It's also impossible to edit or delete the file while wow is running.

Additionally just grab LoggerHead to make your life easier. It's on wowace.com

I never realized that the full combat log was on the web parse as well. /stupid

Actually the only thing I'm missing is the hp/mana/energy/rage values for each player when there is an entry in the combat log. That would really be awesome. I will check if Recount can do that.

That would be REALLY intensive to run... Every combat message (there are hundreds a second in a raid) storing everyone's health and mana values would be storing 50 pieces of information per event in the log, and that's some serious bloat >_<

Looking for a mod that can track Heroism and possibly Mana tide cooldowns for shamans in my raid. Not sure if oRA2 can do this with it's cooldown monitor but from my expierience in the past with it's cooldown monitor is that it's very inaccurate with things like Soulstones and Battle rez's, so preferably something different.

As far as I can tell Recount only stores the health value when somebody has died.

I use Natur's Enemy Castbar for that... The downside being that you need to target the person to see if their CDs are up or not, and that support is being dropped for it come next patch.

I remember hearing something of the sort as well, I think they said it had something to do with elementals from totems being the totem's minion rather than the shaman's, which makes them completely ambiguous once more than one is in play. Though this is just what I remember from what I read, and could very well be wrong.

It is actually possible to track ambiguously named "pets" (Water Elementals, Totems, etc.), but it basically requires the mod to be used by anyone with such a "pet" for any degree of accuracy. This is because the client of the "pets" owner gets some additional events for his "pets" which allows you to tell it apart from the ones used by other people.

That's also typically why damage meter mods don't include them (or their data is off) on these pets, while Scrolling Combat Text style mods can show you numbers for your own pet without you showing numbers for any other pets with the same name active.

Edit:

This is going to change in the future, allowing any properly coded mod to be able to tell these type of pets apart by the by, the above is only accurate for why it's problematic now.

I will look into that, since it might be enough for my needs. Thanks for the heads up.

The situation I would like to avoid can be best understood with the log below:
The tank had been healed for 4k+ just before the hit, therefore the 3k hit can't be the reason why he died. From the log I think it's pretty obvious he got killed by Enfeeble, but the combat log didn't register it. This is my feeling because Enfeeble normally hits 5 targets and here I see only 4, so the tank was probably the 5th and insta-killed. However I dismissed this scenario at first because the WSS parse didn't show that the tank had been affected by the Enfeeble debuff. If I could see that the tank had only 1hp when he died, or if I could see the threat list when the tank died, I could know for sure (or almost).
