In their own words
eqdps
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.
Warcraft Logs
Warcraft Logs provides combat analysis for Blizzard's World of Warcraft MMO. Users can record combats, upload reports, and analyze activity in real time; its client monitors combat logs and sends new events to the site as they appear. Reports can be kept in a personal log space or shared in a guild area. Analysis views include Analytical, Events, and Combat Replay. Public boss logs are ranked using measures such as damage per second and healing per second, while guilds and teams can be ranked for fight speed and execution. Linking a Battle.net account gives the service access to a user's characters and guilds. Users can claim characters and hide their parses from public view and listings. A free plan is available. Paid plans include Silver at $2 a month, Gold at $5 a month, Platinum at $10 a month, and Archon Alchemical Society at $25 a month. Gold provides 9,000 API points per hour and access to logs over two years old; Platinum provides 18,000 API points per hour and guild archive access for all guild users.
