this thread is fine in this forum.



AFAIK (As of last June when I quit raiding)

There are some differences in how (different fights even) are measured. Basically recount will "guess" the combat time (usually fairly accurately) and World of Logs actually goes by combat entered / ended time. They also both have various time outs / measurement of defining an "active" member of the group. Supposedly recount has a 5 second timeout where WoL uses a 10 second inactivity timer. If you're doing a lot of standing around your averages are compared more frequently in recount than they are in WoL so this is usually the most common difference.

As a raid leader I personally only used recount as a boss to boss tool to see DPS on the fly and make raid adjustments on the spot. More serious / long term problem solving is best done with WoL parses so you can see what exactly people are doing from fight to fight and when they're using their CDs.
