Khalysta, the person who runs that site is a friend of mine and plays on my server. I will ask her where she got the parser and how accurate it really is. I remember in EQ1, there were lots of parsers and it took a while to get an accurate one going.

<DIV>I tested it out tonight.  She is currently beta testing it but the program is so awesome I would pay for it if she added a pay pay donation link.  I really look forward to her official version 1.0 <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'll put up a few screen shots tonight....</DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#ffff00><STRONG>View: Fight Screen Detail (Top)</STRONG></FONT></DIV> <DIV>This view allows you to see general stats for each encounter.  At this time I've only used it for solo/ single encounters.  Thye log file does not indicate the encounters level or con but you can get an idea by the DAMAGE column.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#ffcc00>For a level 24 Monk</FONT></DIV> <DIV>Damage Column: <900 <FONT color=#66ff00><STRONG>Con Green </STRONG></FONT></DIV> <DIV>Damage Column: >900 <FONT color=#0066ff><STRONG>Con Blue </STRONG></FONT></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><FONT color=#0066ff></FONT></STRONG> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#ffffff>You'll also notice a considerable difference in the "damage taken" column.  Keep in mind I was testing the program and not using special abilities at this time. </FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>However, later I testing stacking effect of WoZ and CtC versus not using any, or using one or the other.  I've only done a few tests so have no realiable conclusion yet.</DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#ffffff></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><IMG src="http://www.daedaluspa.com/eq2/stats_top.jpg"></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#ffff00><STRONG>View: fight Screen Details (bottom)</STRONG></FONT></DIV> <DIV>The bottom half of the screen displays blow-by-blow data for each encounter.  I believe if you are grouped or have multimple targets their stats will be displayed as well for comparison (as long as you are logging their stats as well).  The bottom half scrolls further to show your encounters data.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><IMG src="http://www.daedaluspa.com/eq2/stats_bottom.jpg"></DIV>

Plus, I only view the "fight" section at this time I'm not really interested in harvesting stats or chat logs.</P> <P>You're right the log files can get huge!  I'm still in the "fun factor" phase but eventually I plan to use this program from time to time to see where my stats are, how new abilities affect performance, etc... If you want to reduce log file size just rename your current log and let the game start a new one.  </P> <P> </P>
