Guild Wars 2

In my earlier MMO experience, I used to have several addons that can tell me combat statistics like how much dmg/heal caused/received etc.

Are there any in game options available in GW2 that can tell me that ?

Also in a related note are there any addons available for GW2 ?

There’s the Combat Log (accessed in-game via the Chat window). Also, certain approved DPS meters are now allowed. Probably find some mentioned in the Dungeons, Fractals, Raids sub-forum, if not posted in your thread.

Good luck.

I’m not clear if DPS meter discussion is allowed here, now they have developer … tolerance, if not approval, but the big three are:

• arcdps
• bgdm
• gw2 helper

You might also be interested in things that interact with the API to provide tools outside the game. These are not “addons” in the way WoW has them, but they are useful:

• http://gw2timer.com/ — provides an overlay, also, that can run over the game, or in a separate window. (I recommend the later, but YMMV.)
• https://gw2efficiency.com/

There are plenty of others, though: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/API:List_of_applications

Discussion was always fine, because that’s what the forum is for. Advocating is something else, but discussing a used tool should be fine. I don’t think it’s allowed to advocate any items or websites that anet have made a clear distance from

Memory reading DPS meters are in a “slightly less dark” grey area, but tools that could be used to exploit are definitely off limits. I did self-report so providing the post stays, though, it’s cool. hashtag science yo
