Gorka, ingame group damage stats is what follows showing damage.
Personally, as a leader, I'd want to know how's everyone doing.
If we look at the
top addons for WoW, we'll see that people need:
-
info about epics-
personal and group damage stats:
Recount-
show buffs and debuffs (here's another: show which song a bard is singing, when I type "look" and "score", so I don't tell bards to gods, when they are already singing their lungs out)
- alerts on bosses, where not to stand
- easier access to info/options
- ability to
get stuff in and out of bags easily- a locator to tell you, where the mob you need is
-
an easy to use auction.
In my experience with Recount I used it to:
- see my contribution to boss kill
- see how I compare to others of similar gear level
- learn which skills I used more, and how much damage they did (were they worth it, or I need to adjust my skill rotation?)
- to see the same for others, so I could understand, if they were doing what they were supposed to (or not). Even tho anyone can spot a slacker at the bottom of the DPS meter, this list helps a leader tell the group member where to fix the rotation, if he's familiar w/ the class - I've seen newbies only use 1-2 spells, when you usually use 4-6 main ones.
Here in Sloth stats would tell me:
- which of the mages were throwing acid blasts, how much, and how many of those blinded the mob
- who was healing, and what's their contribution to healed hps (and how much of that was overheal)
- who was blasting, how damage they dealt, and which skills they used
- what the bards were doing: just singing or also striking/healing
- what were the 3-4.healos were doing, when waiting for their turn to heal.
Stats should also time spent in form and damage in form.
Damage stats would also help people choose more powerful class orders, something only very experienced players can do now.
Another thing we should consider is
eq points, which would help:
- new players to easily compare eq they found
- immorts to price drachma items adequately
- both players and immorts to
create a custom eq shop, where players can buy/forge items with the stats they like.
