Absolute Damage

# Absolute Damage
### More than a meter, for WoW Forever.

A glass-clear damage meter with the raid tools built in. See who's doing the damage, who's holding aggro, what killed you, who's missing a flask, and who showed up to raid. Then export it all to a spreadsheet, a raid tracker or Discord.

---

## The meter
- **Twelve meters:** Damage Done, DPS, Healing Done, HPS, Damage Absorbed, Interrupts, Dispels, Damage Taken, Avoidable Damage Taken, Deaths, Enemy Damage Taken, and **Threat** on your target
- **Any fight:** the live pull, Overall, or any earlier fight the game still holds
- **Class icons and colours**, per-second and share columns, and hover tooltips with each player's top spells
- **Click any player** for a spell-by-spell breakdown, with pets credited to their owner
- **Translucent:** background opacity anywhere from 0 to 100%

## Aggro strip
- **One bar per tank**, with their live health and latest debuffs. Each bar shows what the tank has targeted:
  - **Green:** holding
  - **Amber:** slipping
  - **Red:** the mob is on someone else, and the bar names them
- **One line per boss** showing who it's focused on
- **The meter reacts too:** a tank holding a boss gets a green edge, and anyone who pulls aggro gets a red pulse

## Death log and Compare
- **Death log:** click anyone on the Deaths meter to see the hits and heals that killed them, newest first. Each line shows the time before death, the spell and caster, the amount, crits and overkill, and their health after the hit, coloured by spell school.
- **Compare:** two players side by side, ability by ability, with the difference in percent

## Raid Check
- Item level, food, flask or elixirs and buffs for the whole raid, plus who's offline or dead
- One click posts who's missing food or a flask to raid chat

## Tiles and filters
- Filter any meter by **class, raid group, role or your own group**
- **Split the raid in one click:** a separate, movable tile for every group, class or role

## Combat Report
- **Players:** damage, DPS, healing, absorbs, damage taken, avoidable damage, interrupts, dispels and deaths. Every ability, who you hit and who hit you.
- **Bosses & NPCs:** what every enemy took and dealt, split into melee, avoidable and deadly hits with overkill. Its abilities, who it hit hardest and who brought it down.

## Raid Log, Attendance and Personal Bests
- **Every boss pull is recorded automatically:** kill or wipe, attempt number, duration, roster and every player's numbers
- **Attendance sheet:** nights attended, attendance %, boss pulls, kills and last seen
- **Personal bests:** each player's best DPS and HPS on every boss, plus a private message when you beat your own

## Export anything
- **CSV** for Google Sheets, Excel or your raid tracker
- **Discord-ready** tables that line up in chat
- **Plain text**, or post the top 3, 5, 10 or 25 straight to party, raid, guild or a whisper

## Make it yours
- **Six colour themes, five bar textures and font choices.** Your LibSharedMedia textures and fonts show up too, if you use it.
- **Profiles:** save your look and layout, or tie one to each character
- **When to show:** always, in a group, in combat, or in instances
- **Switch by role:** on the pull, tanks see damage taken and healers see healing
- **Cast feed** for streamers, and a **LibDataBroker** feed for Titan Panel, ElvUI and similar
- **Languages:** English, German, French, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese and Russian

## How it works
WoW Forever doesn't give addons the raw combat log. Absolute Damage reads the game's own built-in combat meter, so nothing is estimated or guessed.

During combat the game hides exact figures from addons. Bars and totals still update live twice a second. Percentages, breakdowns, the death log, Compare, reports and exports fill in the moment combat ends. Class tiles and the aggro strip keep working during the fight. If the game hides threat data, the aggro strip shows who each mob is targeting instead.
