BattleGraph - Real-Time DPS Graph for WoW Anniversary Edition
Created by
www.customwowaddons.com
DESCRIPTION
BattleGraph is a lightweight addon that tracks your damage output in real time and displays it as a smooth, animated graph. It shows both your current DPS (per-second average) and your running overall average DPS as two separate curves, letting you see your damage performance at a glance during and after combat.
The graph uses Catmull-Rom spline interpolation for smooth curved lines with glow anti-aliasing on the primary DPS curve.
HOW BATTLEGRAPH HELPS YOUR ROTATION BattleGraph gives you instant visual feedback on how well your rotation is performing. By watching the Current DPS curve in real time, you can spot when your damage dips (missed procs, slow GCDs, bad positioning) and when it spikes (cooldown usage, trinket procs). Compare against the Average DPS line to see if you're trending up or falling behind. After a fight, review the graph to identify weak spots in your rotation and work on tightening them. Use the Whole Fight duration to see your full damage curve from pull to kill, or shorter windows (5-10s) to focus on burst phases and cooldown windows. The pet breakdown also lets hunters and warlocks see exactly how much their pet contributes vs. their own casts.
