DPS Meter?

So can we now make some sort of DPS meter without a third party application? We now have a new array of elements for the next GU. Couldn't we use the CombatBubbles/OnTextChanged to make an average for a DPS meter? Or even a total damage number?

Just my thoughts. Feel free to tell yours.

you could always do that using the bubbles

Why hadn't anyone done that? Was there something wrong with it?

I did one once (unreleased). Apart from the problems that you always run into when you do loops (here a recurring 1 second timer), it also wasn't terribly useful as the values would jump around too much. I didn't include any code to normalize the values over time, I just displayed pure damage per second, i.e. dps would jump from 0 to 20k and back all the time. But theoretically you could store the data internally and normalize it.

In the end I just found ACT easier and much better to use and I scrapped the project.
