Combat Metrics vs EQL Meter

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.

EQL Meter is a free desktop app for EverQuest Legends that reads character log files on the player’s machine and tracks fights in real time. It shows damage per second (DPS) in its main window and a click-through overlay, which lets the game remain playable underneath. The overlay appears above the game only when it is running windowed or borderless. Combat views include combined results across multiple mobs, an ability breakdown, and a DPS chart; the main meter also has DPS, Heals, Raid, and Loot tabs. When the in-game `/who all raid` roster is known, the Raid tab provides group DPS information. The app runs on macOS and Windows, needs no account or cloud backend, and is MIT licensed. It checks GitHub for releases on startup and offers an in-app update check and installation. A guide is available for Mac players running the game in a Parallels virtual machine. The Mac app is not yet notarized by Apple, so first launch may require clearing macOS quarantine in Terminal.
