In their own words
CombatDash
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.
