There's a github repo with combat log tools.


Found it:

https://github.com/Anderezekial/ddologger

I have no idea how it works or how to install it. But thar she be.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Using a stopwatch I timed how long it to make 50 swings on my barb.

THF
Just holding down the mouse button = 28.6 sec
Holding mouse and rapid tapping hotbar (rems) = 28.2 sec
That's within tolerance of me starting and stopping the timer, so essentially no change.

Then I switched to my paly tank
Just holding down the mouse button = 31.4 sec
Holding mouse and rapid tapping hotbar (rems) = 17.1 sec

What does your paly tank do different?

Now get a nice macro that does all this for you, only faster and better.  Hell you could probably trigger multiple attacks at once doing massive damage...

Different weapon types and races perform differently.

Bears and twf do it best. THF is garbo, wolf might even be slower. Dunno how SWF is.

It interupts the swing on the paly, resets right back to start without any body movements or turns.  It's almost 2x the attack speed.  The barb makes a full swing, just doesn't do any of the spins and stuff.

For THF Staff is prolly the fastest (and the only viable), followed by Greatswords, followed by Greataxes and Mauls.

Spamming one-handed weapons on a tank is one of the best ways to build insane threat gen against heavy nukers and fury melees especially in low skull raids where it matters versus being an intimibot.
