SoD Necro Damage Parser

[viex]

I wrote this PERL script months back and only tested it a few times with a few raid mobs. You will need to install PERL in order to use it (just Google this part):

SoD Necro Damage Parser

For the few tests I did under scrutiny, it seemed to calculate accurately. It is open source under the MIT License. I took a glance at the existing fancy DPS parsers already available and decided to make this as simple as possible. This means that it will only parse what you feed it. So if you are feeding it a log file of your 5 hour long raid that includes 10 wipes (exaggerating here), it will parse that entire 5 hours including all the downtime (when you are not in combat). In other words, to get the best accuracy from it, isolate an individual (single mob) fight from a raid or whatever, fix the log / text file (as in delete unneeded text lines) and feed it that for best results. It hasn't been tested under every scenario so the possibility of bugs is highly likely, I hardly parse my DPS anyways, but you are welcome to use and examine it.

Sounds like good stuff
Just not only necros use dots !

True, i'd be most interested to finally know my shaman's DPS when I start going at it.

EDIT: in other words: thank you!

I'll need to dig up the spell messages and check those classes. Right now, it parses each line based on the sentence pattern / structure with an include / exclude loop, which is why I left it open so that its modifiable in case those messages change; so if those patterns match the necro messages, it should work. It may take some tweaking and then some testing, but is otherwise entirely doable.
