Dear Anet devs, please change the combat log into something useful.
A great improvement would be to just write everything, condition damage, pet damage, heals, pet heals, buffs and so on.
Have different options such as showing condition damage, pet damage, etc.
Have an option to show/hide other players damage, enemies, group, guild, etc.
Have an option to show only your damage and only your damage taken.
Don’t hide damage done some time ago and don’t limit the amount of information (not sure why/how it happens but a lot of info just disappears).

This would allow much more build optimization and accurate data about skills in different situations, would help with build testing and such. To me, an accurate combat log is very useful. I’ve made good use of it in all of the other MMOs i played until now (everquest, world of warcraft, age of conan, warhammer online). Some didn’t have great combat logs but they were still far from the clunky log we have in GW2. Everquest and world of warcraft combat logs were insanely useful in choosing your skills, seeing who hit you and how, understanding the fights and many other uses (such as dps calculations).

Please Anet, this combat log really needs to be improved.
Thanks!
