WoWCombatLog help

I’m trying to parse my own combat logs into a readable format mostly for a fun challenge but I am having some trouble finding out what all of the numbers in the log mean.

Currently I have processed all the damage/heal event lines and attributed pet damage to the correct players. Some classes my damage calculations are very close to what I see on WarcraftLogs but other classes like frost mage are missing a considerable amount of damage.

I’ve seen some places say that periodic damage in the log contains a base amount that needs to be adjusted for crit, extra damage taken by target etc but is that true? and where is that in the log line.

This is the end of one of the damage lines ,617.77,-246.92,1162,4.7353,82,1014441,1014440,-1,12,0,0,0,nil,nil,nil,AOE

From my understanding it’s position/facing date, followed by damage (1014440) then -1 for no overkill, school and crit info etc but why are there 2 damage numbers that are the same?

and another line -246.92,1162,5.9526,82,2103,2862,-1,1,0,0,0,nil,nil,nil this time the damage numbers are different but still no overkill so I would like to understand it better. I found a google forms that has some info but seems to be outdated, I would link it but I’m not sure if I can post links here

If anyone has some info please share, thanks :slight_smile:

I’d suggest uploading a copy to Warcraft Logs. Then you can compare the Event list from WCL with the data in the raw file (make sure you don’t delete it after uploading).
