DrDamage example tooltip - All information enabled

Beta version RELEASED! Please see Current Status section below!!

DrDamage displays the calculated, average damage or healing of abilities with talents, gear and buffs included on your actionbar buttons. The addon will also add various information to the default tooltips in your spellbook and on the actionbar.


Slash Commands:

/drdmg or /drdamage


Functionality:

  • Supports all classes, excluding Death Knights
  • Actionbar addons supported: Default, Bartender 4, Dominos, Macaroon, Nurfed AB, FlexBar2 and IPopBar.
  • Places text with the metric of your choosing on the actionbar buttons
  • Damage and healing statistics are placed into your tooltips. This includes for example critical hit chance, spell damage and damage coefficients, averages, DPS, DPSC (damage per seconds cast), damage until OOM and more!
  • Your own buffs and your target's debuffs are taken into account
  • Allows manual modification of the essential base stats used to calculate. For example you can test how much +100 spellpower would increase your damage or healing output.


FAQ:

  • Are you planning to make a user interface for configuration?
    • DrDamage has a FuBar plugin capability for easy configuration. DeuceCommander works as well.
  • Can I donate?
    • If you wish. PayPal: gagorian (at) gmail.com


Current status:

1.6.0b has been released. It is early beta-quality. I believe that most of the mod-breaking bugs have been squashed, however, please note that many damage values are incorrect. I have attempted to get these values relatively close, but it will take extensive testing to get perfectly accurate values.

Known issues:

  • Certain spells new to WoW 3.0 display no damage information (eg. Explosive shot), because they have complicated calculations that need complicated coding solutions. These few spells will be implemented eventually.
  • Spells may display slightly low values after level 70. This is due to the fact that many spells slowly increase in base damage as you level, and these values need to be found through experimentation. For spell ranks close to and beyond level 70 (around level 64 and up) these values are either unknown or inaccurate, and so are simply assumed to be 0 for now. This generally doesn't cause more than a 3% error.
  • Some talents which increase damage based on the target's health percentage aren't implemented properly, due to the way DrDamage currently updates its values. This will hopefully be fixed in the future.
  • In WoW 3.0 several DoT spells were given the ability to crit (eg. Mindflay). Due to the way in which DrDamage currently calculates DoTs, it will not calculate crits for these DoTs. This will be implemented soon.
  • Due to the unique nature of Paladin abilities, there are likely to be strange issues with DrDamage. Seal of Vengeance/Corruption for example lists total damage during the 2 minutes, assuming a melee swing as often as possible. Thus, the damage listed will be large. Seal of the Martyr/Blood, on the other hand, simply lists the damage of a single application of its DoT, and thus the damage listed is relatively small. I realize this makes it difficult to determine which of the two seals is better to use at any given moment. I plan to standardize paladins eventually.

Please report any other issues you come across, preferably by submitting a ticket to wowace: http://www.wowace.com/projects/dr-damage/ - Put your cursor over the tickets menu at the top and select "Post a ticket" (You need to have a wowace account and login first)

Bug reports can be posted in the comments here, but they may be missed!

When submitting a bug report:

  • I need the error itself if there is one.
    • I need to know which Action Bar mod you use.
  • I need to know your class, race and level.
  • If the issue is an accuracy issue, please try to include detailed damage/heal numbers of what DrDamage claims and what you're actually seeing.
    • It helps a LOT if I know your talent build. A link to your talent build, or to your armory profile will be a LOT of help.

Please note that bug reports that simply include the error, can be difficult to interpret, making it very hard to locate the actual issue. Remember, the more information you give, the easier it is for me to find the issue and resolve it!

Donations:

I've received questions about if it's possible to donate. Donations are appreciated and the money goes to paying for my account which I only use to develop DrDamage (and hopefully eventually buy wotlk) as I've quit the game.
