Guild Wars 2

Are there any API’s that could be used to create Live combat log updates to in a way that can be consumed by OBS?

Combat is so hectic to a first time viewer that I’d like to be able to show them what’s going on.

For example I’d want to show a running counter of condition damage being inflicted or taken. Also I’d like to be able to show the breakdown of condition damage, IE Burning, Confusion etc.

I’d also like to show the healing that’s occurring from my own self and external sources. And my own healing on external sources, and conditions I remove from myself and external sources.

It’d be wonderful if there could be a way to uniquely Identify CC skills too, even if they deal no damage, like Devourer venom.

The dream is to be able to display incoming CC’s taken, condi damage, incoming auto attack damage, sigil procs, incoming damage breaking a designated threshold so I can show important hits taken (IE eviscerate, backstab, that ranger bear sword attack, etc.)

There’s just a lot of noise that happens in combat, but I want a way to highlight the important things on stream, so the new viewer can consume what’s going on.

not possible via api, but the upcoming feature pack will also include a better combat log, so maybe thats something, altho you will miss out on your chat then if you include that on the stream.

Worried that the in game combat log moves too quickly and that it’s font size doesn’t help with readability and keeping up
