What CombatDash is
CombatDash is a free, open-source plugin for The Lord of the Rings Online that gives players a view of combat activity and tools for reviewing fights. Its dashboard displays incoming damage, received healing, outgoing healing, damage per second, effective damage per second, and time to defeat. The suite includes five toggleable HUDs and three information windows. Class indicators use icons, LEDs, and bars to represent class-specific stances, stacks, and countdowns. The Fights window can show a historical fight as a graph and statistics sheets, and includes a raid board assembled from chat posts. The Map window displays keep ownership, gates, sightings, port points, and rally points with clickable travel markers. The Heals window shows up to 24 raid members and reads cooldown broadcasts from the Sender. CombatDash describes interoperability with CombatAnalysis and PvMP+, using their machine-readable chat posts for the raid board. It supports combat-log import and session history. It is an unofficial, MIT-licensed Windows plugin, and loads only for creep classes, not Freep classes.
