Newb here, just finished my opening free game time (about 22 days worth, had issues at the beginning, now it's paid time). Have been greatly aided because I've been playing the "other" MMORPG for a few years now, so many things MMO are familiar to me. Even managed to catch 4 Player commendations in dungeons!

For such kinds of content (battle) I am used to seeing a damage meter during the fights, but more importantly, the ability to actually analyze stuff vis the combat log breakdowns/parses being hosted by various sites (for the newest one, I participated in the closed alpha stage).

So while I am a long ways from lvl cap raiding/dungeons, I went looking for some form of damage meter or logs that could be analyzed... and hit mostly a dead end. The only thing I came across was some app than only ran in m$ (which I do not use) that had a real-time DPS meter of sorts (it ran separately from the game so one had to tab out of the game to even see it). (con't next post)
