Thanks a lot for the tool! I’m using it right now, and I’m finding the death recap quite nice.
I have a couple of pieces of feedback. Please consider them as personal preferences and not criticism
Is it possible to generate the HTML report, like the one generated on death, “on demand”? For example, by pressing a shortcut, the tool could generate a report for the last 15 or X seconds. This could be very useful for analyzing a fight, like a SR boss room, even if I’m not dead at the end
I would order the “Taken” section by the mobs that are currently dealing damage, rather than by the “total.” I don’t know if it’s going to be readable like this, but this way it would also be useful in real time.
Similar to the point above, while the “Total Damage Dealt” column in the “Skills” section is useful, I wouldn’t use it as the sorting criterion. While I’m fighting, I’d like to see the currently most damaging skills at the top.
Can you share the shortcuts currently supported? So far, I’ve only found R to reset the counters.
I also have some feedback, mostly about display things rather than actional functionality.
In order of importance:
The overlay is really “busy” – I find it pretty uncomfortable to have it on screen while playing, so I had to end up dragging it to my 2nd monitor. Here are some ways this could be improved:
An option to minimize the overlay window
An option to hide different sections of the meter (OA/DA, resistances, damage done, damage taken, healing), or individual columns (DPS, %, Total, Crit)
Opacity setting for the bar colors
Clickthrough setting
In the death recap window, I think it makes more sense for the bars to represent player HP% (currently I believe they display % of highest damage taken). Or at least, it’s how other games like WoW do it. This could be made into a setting for those who wish to preserve the current display.
A different color (red?) for adcth in the healing section would make the information easier to read.
This one is pretty unimportant, it might also be too time consuming to implement so it is definitely low priority, but having skill icons on the left side of each bar (before skill names) would make things easier to read as well.
This is all that comes to mind for me right now.
Thank you again for your work, this tool will greatly help in so many ways, especially to quantify exactly how valuable are different procs, WPS or damage sources in general.
edit: additionally, number of hits would be another good metric to add for skills
I have no idea what could have been changed, or how Windows manage this stuff.
