Er, in case it's not obvious, the AddMessage() were debugging calls.

Also, I forgot "%pFeral%p", which is relevant for "Faerie Fire (Feral)".

Doesn't handle Macaroon macro buttons for "Mangle (Bear)", because:

string_match(val, "[^%(]+")

picks "Mangle" as the name. This is probably a workaround for Macaroon liking to write /cast Foo() (where () is short for "best rank").

My quick and dirty hack:

if val then
ChatFrame1:AddMessage("val: <" .. val .. ">")
local spell = string_match(val, "[^%(]+ %pBear%p") or string_match(val, "[^%(]+ %pCat%p") or
string_match(val, "[^%(]+")
if spell then
ChatFrame1:AddMessage("spell: <" .. spell .. ">")
end
return nil, spell, button.macrorank
end

Basically, check for things of the form "Foo (Bear)" and "Foo (Cat)" first. The %pBear%p avoids the quirk that if you search for "(Bear)", Lua will helpfully grab the text "Bear" as your match result. Obviously, this will now also mistakenly think that "Mangle !Bear~" is the name of a spell, but since that macro wouldn't work, I don't care. :)

Thanks for looking into this but the problem with your solution is that it only works for English clients, the solution would have to work on all languages. I'll have to look into a more universal solution when I have the time for it.

I'm probably missing something on my part, but something seems inaccurate in the tooltips as it pertains to hit chance. I've been leveling my warrior and I've only fought mobs around +/- 1 level from me. I noticed that I get parried/dodged/miss quite often, certainly more than the 5% of the time that DrDamage indicates that I should be missing. So I check on another addon I have, Recount, which has accumulated a history of about 500 individual attacks on this character, and it shows my hit frequency (hit + crits) at around 75-90%, depending on the ability.

DrDamage, however, shows in the tooltip that I should be hitting 95% of the time. That's when I target something of equal level to me. Interestingly, when I target something that is level 80 (I am level 17), it says I should be able to hit it 78% of the time! Yeah right... using the combat dummies in the major cities, I tried for over a minute to hit a level 80 dummy and I couldn't even hit it once.

Hit chance is separate from dodge, parry and glancing. DrDamage can show 100% hit and you still get dodges etc. Hit chance only accounts the chance for the attack to land if it isn't dodged or parried, thus 5% of all attacks in your case will be misses due to lower than maximum hit rating. Dodges, parries and glancing blows are displayed separately in the tooltip. While this might seem unintuitive, it's a lot clearer like this when you're adjusting your hit rating to reach the hit cap. You can enable/disable dodge, parry and glancing blow calculations in the options.

Furthermore DrDamage doesn't even attempt to do correct calculations of targets way above your level as there's no known accurate formulas for them. Anything above 10 level difference isn't even accounted for. I don't think there's any need to figure out calculations for such extreme cases as they don't generally matter.

All right, thanks very much for your reply. Makes sense now, and I'll see about turning on the dodge/parry calculations too.

I have noticed when I equip new weapons the numbers all default to zero. The tooltip will show the average, and average crit, but average total is 0. Why is this? I have re logged, shut down, reloadui....

What's your class and can you give some examples of abilities this applies to?

Sorry for the late reply, I am a fury specced warrior, and it is all of my abilities, not just certain ones. Could it be because my two handed axe skill was like 0, which I am working on, or does it factor in Titan's grip by default?

Thanks.

I think it's due to low two-handed axe skill then, you could look at your hit chance in the DrDamage tooltip and see if it's very low, it'd explain it. You could also try other weapon types. Please let me know if that doesn't explain the behaviour.

i have searched extensively and was unable to find a solution to my issue.

Is there a way to remove the icon from LDB data displays Like bazooka?

I know with fubar there was a built-in option to move the icons to the minimap but with bazooka there is no option to do this.

if it really is taxing the cpu then that seems like a good option to have - though with tons of my gear having various procs i'd still like to have the option of checking what affect it is having on my dps live. admittedly i do this more with a dummy than in combat :)

I've tried to make DrDamage as efficient as possible, but obviously it uses more CPU time in raids as calculations need more frequent updates. Have you done any CPU usage comparison with your other addons? Last I tested DrDamage used less CPU time than several popular raidframes, actionbar addons etc. There's also addons that allow you to create addon profiles to determine what addons are used raiding and so on to quickly disable certain addons.

But all in all, I'll consider adding the feature even if it's slightly against the initial design, which is to see real time data on abilities based on raid buffs etc. I won't be adding any new features before Cataclysm though, only bug fixes, so this matter will have to wait.

Maybe a stupid question, but I'll ask it anyway.. Is it possible to configure this addon in a way, that it would do updates/calculations only when NOT in combat? Or at least when NOT in battlegrounds/instances? Me, and people I know, mostly use this addon to see differences in stats when switching/experimenting with gear, buffs, talents, but never - in combat. Therefore it would be nice to save some CPU cycles/performance, by disabling unnecessary calculations in heavy combats (when CPU gets most load), but still be able to use it in between. As far as I understand - disabling tooltips in combat does not affect it?

There's no indication of this, and I thought that the DPS values were increasing as the cast time dropped below 1 second, though I'll have to double-check.

I would really like an option to cap the cast time used for a spell's DPS calculation to the GCD cap, i.e. if my Chain Lightning takes 0.9 seconds to cast I want to see what the DPS is assuming 1 second cast instead. The reason being I don't really care about the DPS for a single cast of the spell, I care about the DPS for multiple casts, and that's limited by the GCD cap.

DrDamage DPS calculation has always been capped to 1 second as far as I know. How do you figure it isn't?

There's two tooltips for death coil; the healing and the damage tooltips.

The healing tooltip obviously won't have hit displayed, are you sure you aren't looking at that one?
