How come the Info tab does not track melee weapons?

My install of Tank only tracks damage done with war magic, and attributed to the staff I am using.

It should track melee damage inflicted. I'll check it. With all the protocol changes that were made in decal it's quite possible that was overlooked.

besides the eltank info tab?


eltank doesn't give a very good DoT with only the max min and average.


I would like a program that takes into account misses and for example could estimate how long it would take to kill a certain creature using one of your weapons.


Are there any plugins like this?

Misses are not required to be tracked to calculate DOT. If your missing your doing no damage so your not contributing to the DOT.


DOT is exactly that, damage over time. Not damage/misses over time.


To accurately calculate DOT you must know how much each damage inflicted was, how many times you've inflicted damage, and over what timespan. You can elaborate (as ELTank does) and give averages, max and min for Normal and critical hits.
