Squizzcap - Death Recap

A death recap for World of Warcraft Retail, built for patch 12.1.

The moment you die, Squizzcap tells you what killed you, how hard it hit and how fast you went down - then lets you dig into every hit, and look back over every death from a whole key or raid night.

Features

At a glance

• A compact summary pops up when you die: the killing blow, its damage and how fast you went from healthy to dead. It stays through release, resurrection and loading screens until you close it
• Click Details for the full recap, or set the full window to open straight away

The full recap

• Killed By - the spell, who cast it, the damage and overkill, and Blizzard's own Avoidable and Deadly markers
• How fast you went down (burst or worn down), total damage taken, and how much was absorbed, resisted or blocked
• Your health as a graph over the last 5 seconds, one dot per hit sized by damage, rising in green exactly when each heal landed. Hover a dot for the spell's tooltip, click it to jump to that hit
• Healing received beside damage taken, and what landed between each pair of hits
• What hit you - the damage split by spell in its school colour

Digging in

• Hits - every hit, newest first; click one for health before and after, absorbed, resisted, blocked and overkill
• Sources - each enemy and the spells they hit you with
• This fight - everything that hit you over the whole pull, not just the last few seconds: each spell, who cast it, how much it did and its share, with Blizzard's Avoidable and Deadly markers and how much of the fight's damage was avoidable
• All deaths - every death saved for your character, grouped by dungeon or raid visit (Mythic+ runs show their key level). Each run is summed up: deaths from an avoidable killing blow, avoidable hits taken, and anything that killed you more than once
• Keep the last 5, 10, 20 or 50 runs, delete a run or clear everything, or start fresh with each Mythic+ key

Sharing

• Link Blizzard's death recap into chat, or post a one-line summary to your group

How the numbers work

Everything comes from Blizzard's own death recap (C_DeathRecap), so the numbers are the game's, not reconstructed from the combat log (which addons can no longer read). That recap holds the last 10 hits before a death.

The health graph is exact at every hit - the game records your health as each one lands. Healing you received comes from the game's own heal feed and is placed exactly when each heal landed (overhealing included, and the figure says so).

In a burst, 10 hits can be well under a second, so Squizzcap reaches back 5 seconds with the older hits from the game's hit feed. The game names no spell or source for those and can miss or add one in a burst, so they are marked with ~ as approximate. The recap's own 10 hits, killing blow included, are never changed.

This fight is read from Blizzard's damage meter the moment you die. If the game is still hiding it then, Squizzcap tries again over the next few seconds; /squizzcap fight tells you why a death has no This fight tab.

If the game ever hides a recap's numbers from addons, Squizzcap still shows the killing blow and every hit, and switches off the parts that need calculating rather than guessing.
