How to Turn on Damage Numbers in Wow

WoWWiki Hosted AddOn Page

As of Patch 2.4, DamageMeters is no longer being maintained, and is no longer a part of Cosmos.

DamageMeters monitors damage and healing done by yourself and other nearby players. It totals up the damage and healing for each player and displays it as bars in a frame on the screen. It is perfect for real-time comparison of the damage and healing output of the various members of your party or raid. At any time the text results can be output as "says", to raid or party chat, or whispered to another player. Many console commands exist for customizing the meters: type /dmhelp for a listing.

For best usage in a raid (any group with more than five members), it's highly recommended to synchronize your DamageMeters with other players that use it as well. Taken from the readme:

Sync Quick-Start Guide

• 1) Someone (I'll call her the Sync Leader) chooses a channel name and joins it, ie. /dmsyncchan ourchannel.
• 2) The Sync Leader then calls /dmsyncbroadcastchan. Anyone who is running a sufficiently recent version of DM will automatically be joined into that channel.
• 3) Once everyone is in the channel, but before the activity begins, the Sync Leader should call /dmsyncclear to make sure everyone's data is cleared.
• 4) Play! Collect data!
• 5) Finally, the Sync Leader calls /dmsync whenever she wants the raid to share data. Since it can cause a little slowdown it is best to do this between fights (though not necessarily between every fight).

Note: There is nothing special about the "Sync Leader": any player can perform any of these commands. It just seems simpler to have one person in charge of it.

DM Report Help

The /dm report command consists of three parts:

1) The destination character. This can be one of the following letters:

              c - Console (only you can see it)%.  s - Say  p - Party chat  r - Raid chat  g - Guild chat  o - Guild Officer chat  h - Chat cHannel. /dm report h mychannel  w - Whisper to player.  /dm report w dandelion  f - Frame: Shows the report in this window.            

If the letter is lower case the report will be in reverse order (lowest to highest)%.

2) Optionally, the number of people to limit it to. This number goes right after the destination character. Example: /dm report p5.

3) By default, reports are on the currently visible quantity only. If the word 'total' is specified before the destination character, though, the report will be on the totals for every quantity. 'Total' reports are formatted so that they look good when cut-and-paste into a text file, and so work best with the Frame destination. Example: /dm report total f

Example: Whisper to player 'dandelion' the top three people in the list: /dm report w3 dandelion
