What CombatScribe is

CombatScribe is a free, open-source desktop app for parsing and analyzing Turtle WoW (World of Warcraft 1.12) combat logs. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and processes logs locally without requiring an internet connection. The app detects Turtle WoW bosses and tracks kills, wipes, and attempts. Raid meters cover damage dealt and taken, effective and raw healing, and overhealing; utility tracking includes dispels, interrupts, deaths, resurrections, absorbs, avoidance, and buff uptime. Timelines chart raid DPS, damage taken, healing, deaths, major hits, and the number of players alive, with zoom and death replay. Players can review consumables by raid, player, encounter, or timeline. Loot is grouped by boss, with search by item, player, or boss; trade tracking and a filterable raw log browser are also included. CombatScribe exports cleaned logs as TXT or ZIP files for MonkeyLogs or TurtLogs, with batch export and a command-line mode. It requires logs made with SuperWowCombatLogger, which itself requires the SuperWoW client modification. The README says enhanced logs include class, talent, pet attribution, and spell tracking data missing from default WoW logs. The repository lists a BSD-2-Clause license.

Good

Watch out

  • Requires SuperWowCombatLogger logs
  • SuperWowCombatLogger requires the SuperWoW client modification
  • Default WoW logs lack data used by the app

Who it suits

CombatScribe suits Turtle WoW players who analyze raid logs and want local combat, encounter, consumable, or loot details. It requires logs from SuperWowCombatLogger and the SuperWoW client modification.

Verdict

CombatScribe offers detailed local analysis for Turtle WoW logs, including encounter timelines and export tools. Its key prerequisite is the enhanced logging setup; ordinary WoW logs do not provide the same data.
