Greetings friends,
Once again, I'm gonna come to you for the information. I've read quite a few threads, which detail combat logs, via a parser, yet, I am unsure as to where to grab the program, let alone, how to tie one in to the game.
As I understand it, they simply capture the combat text, and then give you a readout, based on a set amount of time or mission.
Which one should I use, and where do I go about getting one. Also, are they ok to use, as I sure don't want to get banned. Heck I've got 6 toons leveled to 50 so far, and almost have the rep maxed, so I really want to work on min/maxing, but not at the cost of getting my account locked.
Anyways, Any help is appreciated ahead of time , as always, I've always found you all to be a font of good information.

My mother always told me to walk away from a fight, The Marines taught me how.

You can download it from the german forum: http://sto-forum.de.perfectworld.eu/showthread.php?t=297731
Dont fret, its in english, and there is a video tutorial coming with it, so you dont need to know german to work with it. You also dont need to install it, as its a Java-File (of course you need to have java installed, which most internet users have).
You only have to give it the path to your combatlog, which is at *\Star Trek Online\Live\logs\GameClient.
The combatlog starts to write when you type /combatlog 1 in your chat, and ends with /combatlog 0. It is recommendet to start it when starting a fight (stf,pvp or whatever) and end the writing when the fight is finished, so you dont get unusable data in hit (e.g. if someone jumps from a high point in esd and gets damaged from it, you will have it in you log and it might have wrong dps-numbers in it, as it counts the fall to the time and then the stf went a minute longer then it actually did. If someone uses a hypo in a social zone, its the same matter).
It is possible to have lower DPS, and be able to clear a map quicker by using a build that combines both, DPS, and quick damage. Unless you just want to try to come in first place in missions that have a placement. Then the highest DPS is better.
