I would really like to be able to get some useful information out of it in WvW or PvE. The lack of data and the way it’s presented, particularly for WvW, is awful.

  • No record of condition damage
  • No record of CC
  • No differentiation between criticals and normal hits
  • No differentiation between players and clones
  • No differentiation between classes beyond skill names
  • Entirely gray text

We know all of these metrics are recorded and displayed for sPvP. So either give us access to that interface in WvW and even PvE, or change the combat log in the chat to provide the information in a comprehensible manner.

Perhaps they could use different colours to indicate different effects. Say normal hits were in yellow, criticals in red, stuns are purple, immobilize is blue, etc.
