Skada/Recount

[xenolith]

Hello,

I am dps and highly interested in dps efficiency; that is, dmg / (divided by) dmg taken.

Currently Skada and Recount do not have this functionality and requires users to have 2 windows up to eyeball dmg taken vs dmg (given).

Is it possible to somehow come up with an option to have dmg / dmg taken to create a value that determines dps efficiency in real time? (ie: 2.0 efficiency means you are dealing double the dmg than you are taking.; 0.5 efficiency means you are dealing half as much dmg than you are taking.)

Thank you!

Skada has a very nice plugin system so you could study some of these and have a stab at adding a new mode "efficiency" or however you want to call it yourself.

If you have no experience with Lua and / or programming in general you'll have to rely on some author finding the concept interesting enough to make it themselves... or be prepared to spend some time on working yourself through it.

You shoud try out Details! Damage Meter then ask the author to maybe add this

That's not really a good measure, as it doesn't account for soaking spores on Brackenspore, soaking orbs on Ko'ragh, cleaves on Butcher, wraths and getting fixates by warmages on Mar'gok and similar things.

Ty everyone for your ideas and comments.

Voyager, you are correct. In fights that require ppl to take dmg as part of the mechanic would require use that supersedes this "efficiency ratio" alone. Numbers arent everything and ppl get too bent up about the numbers... Numbers provide information (data) but its up to the consumer/user to interpret its meaning or even question its validity.

Too bad i dont have any programming back ground. =( Ill hav to mess around with it maybe.

It appears that someone took a stab at this here: Skada Player Score
