Few examples why the combat log is inadequate:
  • I have been unable to add seconds to the time stamp. With that, you're unable to tell what's coming how fast. The minutes you really don't need anyway.
  • I noticed a lot of burst damage on the last boss in the manor, wanted to find out what it was from. Good luck with that - without a filter, you have a lot of irrelevant information to read through. Eventually I worked out that the skill was probably Void Fire III - but who knows? Damage and skill aren't linked - the monster will cast some skill (won't tell you on who, though), and then a few lines later you just "take damage". The skills lack details as well. Might as well call them Smurfpunt, because who knows what they do. You have to resort to "non-canon" sources such as Google, because the information just isn't available in the game.
  • The colours are all over the place - every time I read the combat log, they actually distract instead of helping me.
