Regardless of how much you spend on a computer, you won't see more than 75 distinct frames in a second if you have a 75 Hz refresh rate, regardless of your settings. You could have some screen-frames...

If your computer can handle the game at 100 fps, then you certainly should have vsync on. At high framerates, vsync just limits framerate to your monitor's redraw rate. If you can only draw 75 frames...

The last column is absorbed damage. Perhaps the combat log also contains entries for aura gained and aura lost on the shield? It then would be fairly straightforward to count up all the absorbed...

There's enough going on in the game that a fine-grained synchronization lock shouldn't negatively impact code performance (and, for that matter, they must be using some degree of synchronization...

The post you link to here completely mungs the analysis and probably should not be taken as fact (unless the real answer is late in the thread; I only read the first page or two).

1-deep, server-side spell queue. Queues have a property called "depth".

And that is, I suspect, how they will implement it, though it may not appear to the user much like a "spell queue".

Yeah, if you have low dps mh or slow oh and fast mh, you could be in trouble.

I actually do just that to get an initial labelling for the easy cases (hits with 5 sunders and no special buffs up),...

Trinket uptimes -- and other buffs -- are pretty straightforward to track. They should add to both hands, though, and not widen the range. If your MH is slower than your OH, then it'll add more...

Unless, of course, you have weapons of different types in each hand and a piece of gear that gives +skill in one and not the other. :-)

Anyway, what I'm getting is that there is nothing that...

I know. But combat logs have time stamps, with a certain inaccuracy. The alternating MH/OH hits can be seen by eye, but the statistical analysis you can do with a decent algorithm should be able to...

You can do so even if the weapons are not exactly the same speed. Sometimes the hits will occur close to one another, though unless both are a miss, damage ranges can help you guess which is which....

No, to my knowledge there's nothing in the combat log or available in-game that differentiates them, except for damage range and timing. With the OH only doing 75% normal damage (at most), though, it...

Parsing - Separating MH from OH

Is there presently an online or offline parser that will differentiate main-hand hits from off-hand hits? It seems reasonably useful for the purposes of statistical analysis. While I haven't run...

I'm not sure you understand how AP, speed, and normalizations work.

Take your admitted example. The weapon hits for (AP/14)*WS + WD (WS is speed, WD is weapon damage). It does so once every WS...

A good way to handle healing the target of an enemy is to focus the enemy, then use target=focustarget.
