Simple enough question: Is there a way, maybe via some kind of add-on/plugin or some such, that allows you to see the damage of the group, or even for yourself?
I ask, not to judge or anything, I just genuinely have no idea how I am performing compared to the other people I am grouping with.
I do not want to be a detriment to my group via bad damage or low healing throughput, so I thought I would ask around and see if the community has any ideas, or info. I just started a couple weeks ago, so I am still trying to figure some things out about the end game content.

    Yes. The package is called ACT, Advance Combat Tracker.

    command line: /combatlog 1

    Creates a combat log, then you can either notepad it, excel it, or parse it with ACT

    Okay, so I got ACT. It is working fine, I stripped it down to just the Damage/Healing logs so I can keep track of how bad/good I am doing HAHA!.

    I only have one more question.
    The only way I can put this, is to ask if any of you have played World of Warcraft? If so, do you know the add-on "Recount"?
    You know how it has the option to display a visual graph in-game? Is there a way to create a visual that shows up as a graph or some such while I am in-game? As in a live feed of information.

    Or maybe that DPS Tracker one? Does it keep track of healing as well?

    Except it never shows up.....
    Even then, I want to see a live visual, so I can see how/why my healing or damage is going low or high. Just having an overall number is not the same thing

    ACT has a real time option.

    Can be adjusted to show healing, but what exactly you would like to see? I'm not sure that seeing an average heal in 30 seconds window is beneficial.

    I think that a lot of the healing is about timing, if it's reactive in DC/SW or proactive in OP, + the divinity management or crit proc handing (in OP), higher outgoing healing, directly or via other stats, just make the above easier, but IMO, you feel by yourself if you are struggling or not. Or what marging you have to be lazy.
