DPS Meter

DPS Meter parses the game's network data to track each party member's damage, healing, and damage taken in real time, and automatically saves every fight to history so you can review it afterwards.

What you can use it for

  • See the party's DPS / HPS / damage taken per second rankings and skill shares live during combat;
  • Use training dummy mode at the training ground to test your output over a fixed duration;
  • After the fight, review the second-by-second damage curve, Buff coverage, and causes of death in History;
  • In challenge dungeons, use Challenge Watch to flag who got hit by a mechanic they shouldn't have;
  • Freely adjust the window's colors, size, columns, and header so it fits your screen.

Live DPS window

Live DPS window
The tabs at the bottom of the window switch between four views:
TabContent
DPSDamage ranking; click a player to expand their skill breakdown
HEALHealing ranking and skill breakdown
TANKEDDamage taken ranking
DEATHDeath log; replay the damage taken before each death
By default the header shows the combat timer, encounter name, total damage, total DPS, Boss HP, and the Reset / Pause / Training Dummy / Settings / Minimize buttons. You can add, remove, and rearrange all of these in Themes · Header Settings.

Why a skill has multiple entries

The DPS skill list aggregates damage the same way the game client does: one skill may consist of several damage sources (e.g. the main hit plus follow-up damage). Expanding the skill shows these sub-entries.

DPS vs. True DPS

MetricCalculation
DPSTotal damage ÷ total combat duration
True DPS (TDPS)Total damage ÷ active combat time (excluding long gaps such as pausing your attacks or running around)
Combat duration is counted up to the last hit. Enable "Show Active Combat Time" in the header settings to see both durations at once.

When fights are split and reset

You don't need to press Reset manually. The app automatically splits fights and saves them to history according to these rules:
SituationBehavior
Zone changeIf the current fight has data, it is saved as a history entry; the live window keeps the old numbers and only clears them the next time you deal damage
Master dungeonTrash and Boss are automatically split into two entries
RaidOne entry per Boss
WipeAutomatically resets; a new segment starts the next time you attack the Boss

Examples

Example Test a 3-minute rotation with training dummy modeScenario: You've switched to a new set of modules and want to hit a dummy at the training ground for a fixed 3 minutes to compare DPS between the old and new setups.

Preparation

  1. Open DPS MeterThemesLiveHeader Settings and make sure Show Training Dummy Button is checked.
  2. Open DPS MeterSettingsLive:
    • Keep Training Duration at the default 3:03, or change it to your preferred duration;
    • Set Training Lock to Elite Dummies.

Starting a round

  1. Go to the training ground and stand in front of an elite dummy.
  2. Click the crosshair button in the live window's header; the status changes to Training dummy armed.
  3. Land your first hit on the dummy; it is locked automatically, the status changes to Training dummy running, and the timer starts.
  4. When the set duration is reached, the status changes to Segment finished: the live window freezes and the data is saved to history at the same time.

Next round and comparison

  • After the round finishes, attacking again does not start a new round automatically. Click Reset first to return to armed; this lets you change gear and wait for cooldowns before starting.
  • You can also click Reset in the middle of a round to abandon it.
  • Every round is saved to History. You can add it to favorites and use "Favorites only" to compare several rounds side by side.
