What Happens When You Die

DeathRecap automatically displays:

• Killing Blow Source (highlighted)
• Last 7 Events (scroll up to 30 total)
• Ability / Spell Icons (Blizzard-style bordered)
• Exact Damage Numbers
• Attacker Names
• CC Events with Colored [TYPE] Tags
• CC Duration Tracking
• Critical Hit Indicators
• Overkill Indicators

The recap window opens instantly on death
Closes automatically when releasing spirit or resurrecting
Blizzard’s default death popup remains untouched

NEW: CRIT! Tag & Wobble Animation (v2.02.1)

Critical hits now stand out clearly during your death recap:

• “CRIT!” tag displayed above critical damage
• Killing blow crits → red CRIT! tag (10pt)
• Regular crits → gold CRIT! tag (9pt)
• Damage number scales up to match killing blow size
• Outline added for clarity and visibility

Wobble animation behavior:
• Repeats every 1 second for the first 3 seconds
• Then pulses every 5 seconds for emphasis

You don’t just see the damage.
You feel the burst.

NEW: Full Damage Breakdown Graph System

The Damage Breakdown has been completely overhauled.

• Expanded from 7 bars → supports full 30-event death log
• Damage graph visualization above the bar list
• Vertical bar graph shows the burst pattern visually
• Bar colors:

• Red → Normal hits

• Gold → Critical hits

• Bright Red → Killing blow

• Scrollable bar list with its own scrollbar
• DB button renamed to “Graph”
• Event count label in top-right corner
• “No damage events recorded.” message when empty
• Graph now pulls from the full 30-event circular buffer

You can now visually see:
Was it a single global?
A stacked burst window?
Or layered pressure over time?

Ability Icons in Damage Breakdown

Each breakdown row now includes:

• Spell icon (cropped texcoords)
