Warcraft Logs

What Warcraft Logs is

Warcraft Logs provides combat analysis for Blizzard’s World of Warcraft MMO. Users can record combats, upload reports, and analyze activity in real time; its client can watch a combat log and send new events to the site as they appear. Reports can be kept in a personal log space or in a guild area shared with members. Analytical, Events, and Combat Replay views provide different ways to inspect report data. Public boss logs are ranked using measures such as damage per second and healing per second, while guilds and teams can be ranked for fight speed and execution. Linking a Battle.net account gives Warcraft Logs access to a user’s characters and guilds. Users can claim characters and hide their parses from public view and listings. The service has a free plan; paid subscriptions are Silver at $2 a month, Gold at $5 a month, Platinum at $10 a month, and Archon Alchemical Society at $25 a month.
