Combat Metrics vs eqdps

Combat Metrics is a free addon for The Elder Scrolls Online that records and analyzes combat logs. It measures damage per second, breaks down damage by skill and can show who caused incoming damage. It also analyzes healing given and received, healing per second, buffs and debuffs, and magicka or stamina use and regeneration. Players can filter combat logs to investigate specific issues. A resource-light mode shows current-fight DPS and HPS, while the CombatMetricsFightData module can store combat data separately from settings; that module must be enabled in the game's addon manager. The addon requires LibAddonMenu, LibCustomMenu, LibCombat and LibDataEncode, which are downloaded separately; LibDebugLogger is optional. It can export builds to the ESO-Hub build editor, but older fight exports may omit role, passives and attribute points, and alternative skill bars are not supported. The maker says many heavy fights in succession can reach the Lua memory limit and suggests limiting stored fights. Minor Savagery is ignored, and PvP statistics require disabling “Light Mode in Cyrodil.” The project is described as still in beta.

eqdps is a graphical EverQuest log parser and damage meter, built primarily for EverQuest Legends. It follows an active log file and can replay recent history, tracking concurrent fights and separating melee, spell, proc, damage-over-time and damage-shield damage. Displays include DPS and SDPS, hit and critical-hit counts, active time, fight filters and expandable combatant details. A separate compact overlay can show the current fight and event timers. The app also reports session XP per hour, progress toward the current level and estimated time to the next level. Users can configure spell-fade, spell-timer, text and regular-expression events, with desktop notifications and sound alerts. Plane of Sky tracking covers quests, items, runes, watched quests and turn-ins. Inventory and Plane of Sky data can optionally be uploaded to eqldb.org. EverQuest Legends is the main compatibility target; other versions may work when their log messages use the same format. The app presents information without modifying or interacting with the game client. It is free for Linux and Windows; Windows builds are not code-signed and may show an Unknown publisher warning.
