Recount - Damage & Healing Meter for Classic Era

Recount is the definitive damage and healing meter for World of Warcraft Classic Era. Whether you're optimizing your DPS rotation, tracking healer throughput, or reviewing a wipe, Recount gives you the data you need in a clean, customizable interface.

Overview

Originally created by Cryect, ported through multiple expansions, and now maintained for Classic Era, Recount records detailed combat statistics and presents them as sortable bar lists with optional time-based graph overlays. This fork targets the Classic Era client (Interface 11507/11508) and is built on the external Ace3 framework for compatibility and stability.

Display Modes

Switch between modes using the dropdown on the main window:

• Damage Done — Total damage with per-player breakdown
• DPS — Damage per second over the active combat window
• Friendly Fire — Damage dealt to friendly targets
• Damage Taken — Incoming damage per player
• Healing Done — Total effective healing output
• Absorbs — Absorb shield consumption
• Healing Taken — Healing received per player
• Overhealing Done — Wasted healing output
• Deaths — Death count with event log drill-down
• DOT Uptime — Damage over time application tracking
• HOT Uptime — Heal over time application tracking
• Activity — Time spent actively attacking or casting

Tracker Modules

Additional combat event modules extend Recount beyond basic damage and healing:

• CC Breakers — Tracks who broke crowd control effects
• Dispels — Counts dispels and purges per player
• Interrupts — Logs spell interrupts with target and ability detail
• Power Gains — Tracks mana, energy, and rage gains from external sources
• Resurrections — Records combat resurrections cast

• Click any player bar to open a detailed breakdown of abilities, targets, hit types, resists, and timing
• Shift+Click any player bar to open a time-series graph of their damage or healing over the fight (requires "Record Time Data" enabled in settings)
• The graph window uses LibGraph-2.0 to render smooth, zoomable DPS/HPS curves
