Best damage meter?

[Multibocks]

I was wondering what everyone here uses to track team dps when multiboxing. Is Recount the only one everyone uses?

Recount was written by my guildie, Cryect, he quit about 2 months ago, so no more updates to it he also stopped working on recount 2. Most of us use skada now.

Oh I didnt know that. Never heard of Skada, will have to check it out when I'm not stuck at work behind an internet block =(

i still use recount

Skada and Recount are both functional meters. There's a bit of discussion on their use and effectiveness in this thread: Druid DPS and Heal macro help ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&postID=204393#post204393')

SKAAADA! I've been using it since its start, and I've been happy with it ever since, feels less bloated.

the only think that i dont like about skada, is that you can only report 10 lines, and it doesnt merge pets(Im propably just bad and cant find options to do it all)

As far as in-game mods, I'll recommend Recount.
I did not realize it is no longer maintained.
The version I have works very well, and is easy to configure and use.

I'll definitely check out Skada.
There's a good chance a fan based update will keep Recount going indefinitely.
Most of the popular addons are maintained this way, if the author quits.

Something like Wow Web Stats or World of Logs will get you much better information.
Essentially they will parse your combat log, or multiple logs for a more accurate assessment.
They give a lot of very useful info which you cannot get from an in-game mod.
Of course these, you view on a web site, outside of game (or Alt-Tab'd out).
