I believe this is impossible due to the system in which Threat-1.0 functions.

Shouldn't be, since Omen can and does track global threat to all targets, and targetting a specific mob will bring up it's current threat list.

I just installed this mod last night and I love it. Seems to use much less resources than Recount and it's much easier to navigate and obtain.

However, if I might make a request, is it possible to have the DPS tracked like Recount as in "Instant DPS" calculated using the actual time spent DPSing rather than just Damage/Time in Combat?

I'm sure there is a tag function to record active time casting/attacking, that however is beyond me.

I may give this a whirl tonight, I didn't see this touched on, but there are reporting functions in this mod, correct? ie, my raid leader often asks me to send him the Recount death notes for people after a pull goes wrong.

Good question Malan, I switched to this after using Recount and Expiration for a while. I really like the graphical view of the death replay, I find it very easy to read and understand. Of course, I'm the raid leader so don't need to report the results very often, but it would be handy to be able to send the data to other people or a custom channel.

Yes, the standard reporting options are available (Guild, raid, party, specified channel, whisper).

I recently switched to this from SWStats and have been very happy so far. I had tried both Violation and Recount previously but kept going back to SWStats. Recount was way more than what I was looking for and Violation not enough.

On the subject of the report in Assessment, is there any way to make the mod paste, say, the top 10 or whatever? I've only been able to manage a full report in these cases, and that can get a bit spammy, usually I'd only want to include actual DPS when posting a damage report for example, and not include the random bits and pieces of damage healers occasionally do.

I don't have WoW in front of me to check the actual title of the menus I am using are correct, however they will do well enough as a guide.

At the bottom of the Report To menu there should be a Limit (Or something similar) menu.

This menu allows you to change it from reporting all to the top x or bottom x players
Simply change it up from 0 (All) to 10 and you would get the top 10.

It's possible with Threat-1.0. I'm wondering if it's possible with Assessment.

I've read through the documentation but my knowledge of the tags system is a little lacking. How do you set up target-oriented sets?

For instance, I want to display a set containing all people who healed X, or all people who DPSed X, similar to SWStat's "Damage done to target" set and was drawing a blank on exactly how to configure it. Thanks.

So how does on modify the DPS tags so that its more like how Recount or WWS does it? ie, DPS is computed off of the time spent while doing stuff, not just (dmg done)/(length of fight)

Yeah, I'm still looking for the answer to this question as well. I've looked through almost all the options and I still don't see anywhere that you can change it to "Instant DPS" rather than damage/fight length.

Probably stupid question but it there a list of Damage Dealt to specific target hidden in somewhere? And if not, is it possible to create it? Say I'd like a listing of who and how much damage did to Coilfang Striders on Vashj attempt.

I managed to create a list of mobs and how much damage they took easily but can't figure out a way to break it down by actor in a subset.

Is there a way to parse out number of hits landed versus total number of attacks made (Basically %hit) ?

Can't you just take #Hits + #Dodge +#Parry + #Miss?

I'm interested in this too, but for a different reason (spitfire totems on FLK) - if you're willing to wait until after the raid, you can use WWS damage taken lists for this.

Is there a compiled list of Tags we can use anywhere on the net, because I am starting to run out of options for some of the checks I run in raids.

And to the above poster, if you want to get just white damage, youll have to take the WF & SS swings out, just a heads up, because the %hit cap is different for them.

Anyone have any ideas on how to parse out who uses Stormstrike & Hemorrhage debuffs off a target and for how much the spell is hitting or critting for

Feature Addition

So the excellent parallel drawn between Assessment and WWS holds true in alot of places but not all. I really dig the automatic saved data for after you kill a boss, itll show up in the history of Assessment as Boss name - Date killed. This is useful for taking a look later on at what happened during that fight.

Unfortunately, the real use of WWS comes in determining what went WRONG during a boss ATTEMPT in the hopes that the data will illuminate an issue that could be corrected. This is something that is frequently ignored by most of the Damage Meters that are available for public use and in my opinion Assessment. What i'm suggesting is a change that follows along with the very useful BigWigs auto-record feature. I would like to see Big Wigs auto-record data on Boss Attempts, and not just kills.

Eventually, possibly, this could lead to a way to compare the outputs of two sets of saved data, a succesfull kill and an attempt, to see in terms of DPS/HPS/Threat etc, what went wrong and what went right. This would potentially be THE feature that seperates this meter for raid analysis from others intended for individual glorification use.

@Delita - nothing in the combat log records the consumption of a charged debuff like Stormstrike or Hemo. The only way you know its being used is someone getting larger than normal hits.

interesting.... as I'm the only enhance shaman in our raid group, I wonder if I could parse out the next 2 nature attacks after a stormstike then?

Perhaps. Depends on how many people you have using nature damage in the raid. Remember that the combat log is not a perfect view of the order of events, Blizzard sacrificed a lot of accuracy in the original combat log because they didn't think people would really be interested in it. Events will often appear out of order which might make it difficult. What are you trying to determine exactly?

How much a boomkin gains spaming wrath vs how much an elem shaman gains spamming LB with SS, because as it is now, they usually consume one charge each, but if the raid can get more damage from the boomkin switching to Starfire and just letting the elem shaman continue on, I'd like to know.

This will change in 2.3 with the changes to Lightning Overload, but I'm just curious.

Well you shouldn't need to parse that at all, just do the calculations for it. Take their spell dmg and the standard raid debuffs and calculate an extra 20% gain onto a single cast. Its 20% increase to each spell hit, regardless of who its coming from. Your question is really related to the characters and their gear - the guy with more +dmg and who gains more on his spell coefficient is the one that will win out.

Lightning Overload changes will adjust it slightly yes, since if the shaman gets the first debuff and gets a LO proc the proc will only be doing 50% dmg plus the debuff modifiers.
