You can report bugs you find in #wowace @ irc.freenode.net to rw3/Gagorian or alternatively email me at gagorian(a)gmail.com
I'm happy to accept any help anyone wants to provide.
*** If any damage/healing calculation is incorrect, please report it. Provide as much information as possible. ***
Latest version always available at (developer version):
http://files.wowace.com/DrDamage/
DrDamage displays the calculated, average damage or healing of abilities with talents, gear and buffs included on your actionbar buttons. The addon will also add various information to the default tooltips in your spellbook and on the actionbar.
Places a text with metric of your choosing on the actionbar buttons
Also supports macros if their tooltips set to the spell/action with #showtooltip spellname
Different damage and healing statistics from tooltips on the actionbar and in the spellbook. This includes for example crit %, spell damage and damage coefficients, averages (w/ or w/o crits/DoTs), DPS, DPSC (damage per seconds cast), damage until OOM and more!
Includes your buffs and the target debuffs in calculations
More information about functionality:
Uses mostly default WoW API to retrieve your stats, keeping tooltip scanning to a minimum
Uses the same Adaptable damage/healing calculation engine used for all the calculations
Easy table design to add/modify talent effects, spells and buffs/debuffs
Allows manual modification of the essential base stats used to calculate (you can test how much that +n spelldamage or healing would increase your spells different calculated values)
FAQ:
How can I get the Dr.Damage tooltip info or actionbar text on macro buttons?
Modify your macro to show the blizzard tooltip by inserting the line: "#showtooltip Spellname" or "#showtooltip Spellname(Rank x)"

Optional Files - DrDamage
Sorry, there are currently no optional files available.
first of all: thank you for this wonderful addon!
second: is there any chance you could make this work with Flototembar (this addon puts all Shaman totems in 4 bars, depending on their element)?
For me it would be much handier to see the damage of a searing totem or the total healing of a Healing stream totem.
Kalfo
Unlikely that I'd add support just for a few totems. It's probably in rather limited use and it'd need quite a bit additional code since DrDamage is designed to support only one actionbar addon at a time.

Are those errors from the wowace release and not the one available for download here? One version had an issue causing that, but it has already been fixed.

Originally posted by secutanudu Seems that for melee, the numbers on the tooltips are way off. They consistently show almost double what I actually hit for - is there some setting I need to tweak?
Like the previous poster already pointed out this is due to armor mitigation. There is no way of determining mob armor easily, it would need to calculate armor based on known mitigation and create a database with armor listed for every enemy separately. This is out of DrDamage's scope, if there is any good addon with such provided I'm willing to integrate optional support.
In the meantime, there's an option to manually set a guesstimated mitigation, you can put it to whatever seems to bring you closest to the actual values if that is your wish.

Physical damage, melee or otherwise, is reduced by your target's armor. Spell damage is affect by resistance and resilience, but is rarely as large a factor as is armor for mitigation purposes.

Thank you very much for your fast reply and sorry for my late... I didn't miss the "Actionbar text on/off" option, I turned it off and the macro name didn't appear.
What is going on? I really miss the macro names
Have you tried reloading UI after the change? If you keep that setting constantly off, DrDamage should not remove them in the first place.
Thank you very much for your fast reply and sorry for my late... I didn't miss the "Actionbar text on/off" option, I turned it off and the macro name didn't appear.
I used to use TheoryCraft2 but it is incompatible with Bartender3 so I switched to DrDamage.
There are two things I would like to say:
- First: I would like the addon would modify the default tooltip as TC does instead adding new lines. You could implement a new option so users could select any of theese ways of showing statistics.
- Second (and the most important for me): I reallly don't need to show the avg damage, etc in the button... what I really need is to show the macro name as shown without using DrDamage. You could add an option under the ActionBar menu where we could select AvgTotal,Avg,...,None (or macro name).
Sorry for my english and I hope you reply soon Thank you in advance.
Tooltip modification is not what I intend to do. It would require tooltip specific code and it's out of scope of my intended idea, being as light as possible.
You can already turn off the text. How did you miss the option "Actionbar text on/off" in general options?

So then a question for anyone. I use tip buddy and love it but only works on targets. Any know a mod that customizes how spell tips are displayed. More importantly possibly has an anchor that can be moved. With Enh tooltips on some spell info covers important info sometimes on my custom UI.
Lithe Tooltip Doctor allows you to do what you ask at least. It's simple and does just that. Available at wowace I believe.

Originally posted by dctrjons Curious why some functions like DPM are disabled if Enhanced Tooltips are disabled in WoW. Is this fixable?
Edit: Meaning DPM won't display on the action button in addition to not displaying in the tooltip. In fact I get a blank line.
Show DPM/HPM
Show dmg/heal -oom
Show casts/time - oom
show additional info
For some reason it seems to be a positional thing. Everything below DPM doesn't show (and including)
The action button defaults to Avg D/H
DrDamage uses the mana cost information provided by the enhanced tooltip for those calculations, without it the addon can't access the information and thus can't calculate those. There's nothing I can do.
