So would it be possible to add a Damage Log?
So the idea would be that you could have a quick list of recent spells you’ve cast, and their full dps against an enemy you’ve killed. Almost like the damage chart they show after you die in LoL but for minions. It could be like a running log that only keeps a current list of the last 10 seconds of damage and it deletes the previous entry when the current entry finishes. If your dealing with really big mobs or AoE spells, it could list the amount of minions it hits and the total damage it does.
I mean the game already has to calculate this information, and send it back and forth so basically it would just be showing us the log of the damage we’re dealing, so we can min/max damage spells a bit better?
I don’t know how difficult it would be to add this, but I think it would be a great help to setting up builds.
This request appears every few months… and most people would like something similar.
There have been various requests for something like this - especially when using the Test Dummy and testing skills/new interactions…
Dont recall the devs ever really commenting on it specifically… All I do recall is MikeW describing the additional load that this could put on the game - something that they dont want to do - at least not right now but he didnt expressly say it may never exist… So I think thats optimistically a "maybe… "
I think there might also have been a concern about people not wanting to play skills that were perceived as “low dps”. While that’s less of an issue in SP, when MP hits people could be kicked from group if the aren’t seen as sticking to the meta skills/builds.
seems like an odd reason though, i mean meta skill/build culture is ALWAYS a thing. Just because there isn’t a tool that lets you see your DPS doesn’t mean that is going to not happen. If anything, it would allow for more non-meta builds to see the light of day because you can show they are actually viable.
The kill it before it kills you is all the damage log you need to have. For those that need DPS meters and META calculation for builds, I called DIP SHITE for a reason.
And for those of you who do not know SHITE is actually an acronym; Ship. High. In. Transit. Explosive. So its not vulgar.
