What Combat Metrics is
Combat Metrics is a free addon for The Elder Scrolls Online that records and analyzes combat logs. It measures DPS, breaks down how skills contribute to damage, and can identify who caused incoming damage. Healing analysis covers healing received and cast, including healing per second; the addon also tracks buffs, debuffs, and magicka or stamina use and regeneration. A filterable combat log helps investigate specific encounters or issues. Light mode displays current-fight DPS and HPS while using minimal resources. To keep combat data apart from settings, enable the included CombatMetricsFightData module in the game's addon manager. The addon requires LibAddonMenu, LibCustomMenu, LibCombat, and LibDataEncode; LibDebugLogger is optional, and required libraries must be downloaded separately. Builds can be exported to the ESO-Hub build editor, though older fight exports may omit role, passives, and attribute points, and alternative skill bars are not supported. The project is still in beta.
