Master Blogging and Altitis Birthsday
So after a significant slowdown to my posting activities, this is my 300th post on Altitis. Incidentally, the blog is also 1 year (and 10 days) old now.
Quick Notes
Just 1-2 quick things:
The Quest for Precise Damage Metering: Almost There
Numbers, numbers, numbers. That’s all Damage Meter addons are about. Getting those as close to what your server knows you have dealt is the big challenge, and the Eldorado promised by patch 2.4 is getting closer by the day.
Damage Meters Benchmarking: Recount Maintainer Feedback
Elsia, the current maintainer of the benchmarked Recount, took the time to post extensive feedback both on general accuracy considerations and on the pet damage discrepancies
AddOns in Review: Damage Meters Benchmark III, solo Warlock
This will be a lot shorter than the other benchmarks as I wanted to verify the low-level hunter results. I tested a level 60 lock with lolguard in HFP for a while, all tested meters are consistent with each other and match WWS, with the exception of DamageMeters, which simply cannot account for the felguard’s [...]

Here is the summary table:
The black squares indicate where I forgot to screenshot the data [...]
My Damage Meters says Other Healers are Slackers

He asks why the others are such slackers and what he should [...]
AddOns in Review: Damage Meters Benchmark I, solo
To begin this series, a nice surprise, in the sense that every benchmarked AddOn behaves properly for pure solo play.
The benchmark was run on my protection pallie, in ShadowMoon Valley, the ruins of Karabor, for some AoE grinding. I did 7 pulls totaling about 65 mobs, and while holy shield and consecration were always [...]
AddOns in Review: Introducing Damage Meters Benchmarking Series
We all know the stereotypes, but how much of it is true? While patch 2.4 should bring a lot of goodness for all damage recorders, I started wondering just how accurate in-game damage meters are, in the current state.
