CombatDash vs Fellowship Logs

CombatDash is a free, MIT-licensed community plugin for The Lord of the Rings Online on Windows. It gives creep-class players a glanceable combat dashboard showing incoming damage, received healing, outgoing healing, damage per second, effective damage per second, and time to defeat. The suite also includes five toggleable HUDs and three information windows. Class indicators use icons, LEDs, and bars for class-specific stances, stacks, and countdowns. The Fights window presents historical encounters as graphs and statistics sheets and includes a raid board assembled from chat posts. The Map window marks keep ownership, gates, sightings, port points, and rally points with clickable travel markers. The Heals window shows up to 24 members and reads cooldown broadcasts from the Sender. CombatDash describes interoperability with CombatAnalysis and PvMP+ through machine-readable chat posts. Installation involves downloading a release from LoTROInterface, unzipping it into the LOTRO Plugins folder, and loading it with the in-game Plugin Manager. It supports combat-log import and session history.

Fellowship Logs turns raw combat-log data from Fellowship into visual material for reviewing gameplay. Reports can track damage dealt, healing, damage taken, and encounter positioning over time. Uploaded logs also feed rankings, statistics, and meta builds that provide information about teams, class balance, and the game meta. Players can send logs to a personal space or a guild space for guild members to view. Reports may be public, unlisted, or private, and can be viewed anonymously. For ongoing capture, the Archon App can watch a combat-log folder and upload fights as they are written; the maker describes it as a beta desktop app for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Logs older than one year are archived, and access to archived logs requires Gold tier or higher. Report Components can create dashboards using charts, tables, and rich text, but that feature is described as invite-only alpha. Fellowship Logs has a free plan. Silver costs $2 a month, and Gold costs $5 a month.
