Guild Wars 2

Hi, I cant see and of my illusions damage in the combat log, only the damage done by myself. Is this a bug, or is it something I have to toggle on to see?

Someone should really answer this question. Been here for a long time

You should be able to see shatter dmg, but I believe illusion dmg was never added to the combat log. You’ll see individual numbers for the shatters per clone but I’ve never actually stopped to check if illusion dmgs come up. This is a good question, and very important since iZerker seems to have been ninja nerfed, but the defs insist that “it’s working fine, it’s just not popping up the correct amount of dmg for you to see overhead – but it is hitting as intended” .

ANet loves to swing the nerf bat, but when it comes to fixing things for the mesmer they don’t give a kitten 25th trait point in dueling which has all illusions stack confusion when killed only works on clones and they have never bothered to address it.

I wouldn’t hold my breath

The combat log in this game is next to useless.

It doesn’t even track seconds much less fractions of a second.

Combat log needs some serious work done to it.

The general trend now for AN seems to be dumbing down the wvw/pvp in the game, so that new and casual players can pop in and out of it without having to learn a lot, including tactics, so I wouldn’t expect improved logs because their main target audience likely wouldn’t care about such a thing.

Yeah, I don’t see them improving the combat log any time soon. It really is ridiculous though how useless it is compared to most other games combat log.

They have also said they don’t want DPS meters used, and if the combat log was accurate enough, someone could create a parser and create a DPS meter. As it is now, the meter would be so inaccurate as to be useless, thus I don’t expect this to ever change.

^ so they could just remove it, create an innacurate feature because they dont want people to play with it seems more useless than the combat log itself.

i also add that a lot of attacks have wrong names, sometimes more old than me.

No health, no boons, no conditions…. sucks.
The combat log is absolutely useless…

Please, don’t waste more time maintaining this useless tool.

I’m trying to test some builds for maximize health/damage in a WvW party…. impossible with GW2 due to limitations of combat log.

Phantasms used to show up in the combat log during beta, so I can only assume it was an intentional change.
