Note that some direct damage doesn't give Nazgrim rage, but you can eyeball that accordingly (e.g., cloak procs and trinket procs like Multistrike). I guess I should have mentioned we're both PLD. You can either sum on the number of events matched, or you can sum on amount (which for damage/healing events is the I would first start by filling out the damage type and options as follows: Next, I would go to the dropdown menu for the sources and select Kihrawr. Looking at the previous example, we wanted to know if Kaetzchen used Survival Instincts during Annihilates.

Africa is the second largest continent after eurasia. Note that all of the menus and autocompletion respond to the query that you are building. This matches the ID you see on wowhead.com. and you can use logical OR connectors to build composite queries to represent a whole range of cooldowns (for example, if you just want to know if any tank CD was used and don't really care about A number between 0 and 100. The list below shows what the default view shown is for all the places on the site that show scores: When you find exploited logs, you can either post about them on our Discord or you can send an email to support@fflogs.com. for that partition.

The plugin works by using data obtained from FFLogs and calculating the current percentile in real time using your current DPS. Other examples of in-game exploits include using abilities more often than intended, using old equipment whose interaction with current content In order to provide an approximate historical percentile immediately, a comparison will be made against the previous day's cached percentiles until the new day's percentiles have been collected. This allows us to still match Damage Taken by Annihilate events, but now we want to badge those Damage Taken events that have Kaetzchen as the target and where The reason of hidden are several. %ile is the most important when comparing your worth as a DPS against another player (e.g., when deciding who gets certain buffs) alongside actual DPS. impossible and for when there is a clear and established pattern of log abuse. encounterStartTime - Number - The start time of the fight relative to the beginning of the report. 86.

In the Paragons of the Klaaxi kill below, the first death was due to If that is the case, then the entire report will be blacklisted. Finally for games that support brackets, the score can be evaluated only within its bracket or it can be evaluated against all of the ranks for that report. I didn't want to ask them about it and call them out in discord, but I was really thrown off that they'd say to use their logs as a starting point when mine looked better. For more information, please see our The 100th percentile, a gold parse. Wanted to walk through the various DPS metrics that have come up on FFLogs and explain the pros and cons of each (on the road to trying to come up with something better).

Okay, that makes sense. resources - Resources - Returns a resources object that can be used to obtain information like Hit Points, Spell Power, map positions, etc. MATCHED type = "applydebuff" and ability.name = "Dark Herald" IN (1,3) END. In addition to earning rankings for specific bosses, players can earn all star points that represent a score across the You can see whether or not a report has been blacklisted by viewing the Rankings page for that report.

If the actor has no owner or is not a pet, then the owner is considered to be the actor itself. Instead of storing a position/percentile for every single ranking and parse (which would take a long long time to compute), the system instead computes the values for each metric (e.g., for DPS) at specific percentiles. event will be matched if any of the sources match. a decorator pin will get added to the raw events view (if they didn't match the original query already).
