Not a mage specific add on, but I'm looking for a better damage meter than Recount. Really, I just want something that can filter out a particular enemy. For example, if I only want to see damage dealt to the boss, or the boss and a particular type of add, or just and add, etc. What damage meter is capable of this and will sync with others?

You can see "damage dealt to boss" in recount if you select bosses to be shown in the configuration settings. If you look at the damage taken charts you can simply click the specific row for the boss and it will show you the damage contribution from each player as a absolute number.

If you want accuracy and detailed reports, you're not going to find that in an addon. You should use a site like World of Logs - Real Time Raid Analysis.

As Saphya said, Recount does this for individual mobs (nothing does 'of all the mobs we attacked I just want to see these two' however.)

Skada is another damage meter and it also does this, however I've switched back to recount because Skada can't report damage taken to an individual mob (at least not that I can tell) and recount can report anything it can show you.

Note that neither of them roll up hunter pets with hunters when looking at individual mob damage (they do for the total damage reports however), so take what you're seeing with a grain of salt or do some math in your head.

Does anyone know what addon Jarlyn is using under his cast bar that shows spell power, crit % and haste %? Here is the link to his screenshot:

Needtoknow is my favorite buff timer mod, however it's debuff portion isn't as strong as EBB (Id rather have something that will show anything that pops up). Is there a way to configure NTK to show any debuff or should i just run both addons?

This is actually a pretty common problem, I imagine - Most multiclass debuff trackers are automatically set to track only your debuffs and not any debuffs applied by other characters. This can be problematic if you are not the first person to scorch the mob.

One workaround I've found is to use power auras to track scorch / shadow mastery / winter's chill. By default it will disregard the owner of the debuff (Screenshot and Settings for the curious).

Can't see the screen but I know 2 options to get that :
Either TinyCasterStats

Or if you're a LDBee like me, Broker CasterStats

Hinalover · 06/14/09, 3:33 AM

It maybe SlideBar - Statline. You need SLDataText installed in addition for the mod to work.

It's a custom LDB mod I use, displayed through StatBlockCore. Broker_CasterStats is functionally identical, I just wrote my own.

It takes some getting used to, but I did find the damage done stats in Skada. (We were trying to be accurate about damage done to XT's heart etc for gaging performances while working hard-modes, amongst other things)

You have to go:

Current Fight
Damage Received By (or something like that, its like 6 down the list)
It will show the Mobs / Targets
Click on the appropriate mob and it will show Damage done (no dps though) by whom.

Great for checking if people are on the right targets

It was creating massive lua errors on my Hodir 25man last week (a few revisions ago), haven't been back since. Make sure to get the latest from WoW AddOns - WowAce.com

This should work fine in the newest version. It does for me anyway.
It does track scorch even if another raidmember cast it. I believe you have to uncheck the "only cast by self" when choosing the debuff to track.

Just in case people are wondering, the latest release of Pitbull 4 switched from using Dogtags for it's text usage, and went with LuaText. If you have questions, there is a new thread on the UI forums.
