Yes i agree its lightweight, but if its to be an effective mod it also needs to send data. From what i read Violation is only a receiver that can deal with both sw and dmg meter data. It doesnt send anything. Regular dmg meter is fairly inaccurate for pet users (such as beastmastery hunters) as it doesnt count pet dmg and its also manually clear all the way and a very crude mod. Swstats keeps a small datalog (5mb max) which is easily erased at any given time but auto updates and keeps a rather clean data tracking where hunters pet and the hunters themselves are counted as one damage.
