Peelometer

Peelometer is free on CurseForge. It works on World of Warcraft Retail (patch 12.1.5 and later) and needs nothing else to run.

1. Install it

   In the CurseForge app, search for Peelometer and click Install. Or download the zip from CurseForge and unpack it into World of Warcraft/_retail_/Interface/AddOns, so you get a Peelometer folder there.

2. Log in

   Two windows appear at the bottom right of your screen: Damage and Healing. They stay empty until your first fight.

3. Read the welcome card

   A few seconds after you log in, a welcome card explains what Peelometer is and what a meter can see in 12.x. It also asks whether to hide Blizzard's own meter window (see Blizzard's meter). Type /pm welcome to see it again.

The quickest way to learn Peelometer: hit a training dummy for twenty seconds, stop, and watch what the windows do.

1. Fight

   Bars grow while you fight and the title bar says LIVE. You see amounts and per-second numbers right away, in the order Blizzard gives them.

2. Stop and wait a few seconds

   The badge turns FINAL. Percentages fill in, rows can be sorted, and the fight is saved to your history. Why the wait?

3. Point at a bar

   Hover details show that player's totals and strongest spells.

4. Click a bar

   The breakdown window lists every spell with amount, per second and percent.

5. Right-click the title bar

   The window menu has everything else: a new window, tabs, theme, bar style, presets and reports.

Since patch 12.0, addons can't read the combat log. Every Retail meter, Peelometer included, now reads the numbers from Blizzard's own damage meter. So that meter has to stay switched on, but its window doesn't have to be on screen.

Hide Blizzard's window

Any of these hides Blizzard's meter window. Its data stays on, so Peelometer keeps working:

• Tick Hide Blizzard's meter window on the welcome card.
• Right-click a Peelometer title bar and tick Hide Blizzard's meter.
• Settings›General›Blizzard's meter.
• Type /pm blizz hide. /pm blizz show brings it back, and /pm blizz switches between the two.

If you change this during a fight, it happens as soon as combat ends (the game doesn't let addons move its frames in combat).

If the meter gets switched off

If Blizzard's damage meter is turned off in Options›Gameplay, there is no data for any addon. Peelometer's windows then say so and show a Turn it on button. Click it and the numbers come back. If you only wanted Blizzard's window gone, Peelometer keeps it hidden.

Every meter window works the same way: a title bar on top, one bar per player below. Point at a window and its buttons and resize grip appear.

123456

1. 1Meter picker. Click it to show another meter (Meters).
2. 2Fight picker. Current fight, Overall or a saved fight (Fights).
3. 3Badge and timer. LIVE during combat, FINAL once the numbers are complete, then the fight length. More
4. 4Buttons. Details window, lock, reset all fights and the window menu (gear).
5. 5Your row. A mark on the left shows which bar is you.
6. 6Resize grip. Drag to resize. Shows on hover while the window is unlocked.

Rows

Each bar is one player: rank, name, then the amount with per second and percent in brackets. The #1 bar can wear a crown (a banana in banana themes). Players who died in the fight get a dimmed bar.

• Scroll with the mouse wheel when there are more players than fit.
• Always show me pins your own bar to the bottom when it's scrolled out of view. It's on by default; turn it off in Settings›Bars›Rows.
• Row height and spacing are in the same place. Taller windows show more rows; resize the window to fit your group.

The window menu

Right-click the title bar, or click the gear, for the window menu. It has everything for this window: lock, a new window, tabs, what it shows and when, its theme and bar style, reports, extras and settings. Right-clicking a bar opens the same menu with that player's breakdown at the top.

A window shows one meter at a time. Click the meter name in the title bar (the first word, like "Damage") to pick another.

During a fight, the game hands addons its numbers in a locked box: Peelometer may show them, but not add, compare or divide them. A few seconds after combat the box opens. Each window tells you which one you're looking at.

LIVE in combat

You see Blizzard's numbers, in Blizzard's order, as they update: bars, amounts and per second all work. What needs math waits: percentages are blank, rows aren't re-sorted, and hover details say after combat where a number can't be worked out yet. Other players' spell lists also wait, because the game only shares your own while you fight.

FINAL after combat

Usually within a few seconds of the fight ending, the numbers turn normal. Peelometer saves the fight and the window switches to that saved copy, so everything kicks in at once: percentages, sorting, merged pets, your per-second choice, the after-combat meters and the history.

Click the fight name in the title bar (next to the meter name) to choose which fight a window shows. Each window has its own choice, so one can show the current fight while another shows Overall.

Whole runs and nights

Inside a saved group, the first entry adds up every fight in it:

• Whole run for a Mythic+ key: every pull, trash and bosses.
• Whole night for a raid, Whole dungeon for a dungeon, Whole day out in the world, Whole match for an arena or battleground.

Each can be turned off in Settings›Fights & history›Fight picker, where you can also list boss fights only, merge the trash between two bosses into one "Trash before X" entry (on by default), and choose how many runs show before Older.

Fight names

Saved fights are named by the boss ("Shadeweaver Ix - pull 2", with kill or wipe), the trash before a boss, the key level and dungeon, or the zone. Prefer something else? Name fights by can also use the main enemy, the zone or the time of day.

Open as many windows as you like. Each one has its own meter, fight, size, theme, bar style and hover details.

Add a window

• Right-click a title bar and choose New window.
• Type /pm new, or /pm new deaths to open it on a meter.
• Click Add a window in Settings›Windows›Your windows.
• Or build a whole set at once with a window preset: Choose a preset... under the list, or /pm layout.

Rename, copy and close

Settings›Windows›Your windows lists every window with its meter. Type in the name box to rename one; Edit opens that window's own settings, and Duplicate and Delete do what they say. The window menu has more:

• Rename... gives the window a name of its own (shown in menus and settings).
• Copy settings from takes the look and options of another window.
• Reset window settings drops this window's own values, so it uses the shared settings again.
• Close this window (there is always at least one).

Tabs: several meters in one window

1. Right-click the title bar and open Tabs

   Tick each meter you want as a tab. The window's own meter becomes the first tab.

2. Switch tabs

   Click a tab, or turn the mouse wheel over the title bar or the tabs.

3. Remove a tab

   Untick it in the same menu. With one tab left, the window goes back to a single meter.

Drag a window by its title bar. Drag the grip in the bottom right corner to resize it. Windows snap to each other and to the edges of the screen, so lining them up takes no effort.

Snapping and groups

• Drag a window close to another one (or to a screen edge) and it snaps into place.
• Windows that snap together form a group. Drag any of them and the whole group moves.
• Hold Shift while you drag to move just one window; it leaves the group. Or right-click its title and choose Detach from group.
• When you resize a window, the windows snapped below it or to its right move along, so they stay touching.

Both Snap windows and Move snapped windows together are in the window menu and in Settings›Windows›Layout.

Scale

Scale makes the whole window bigger or smaller, text included (0.5x to 2x). Set it for all windows, or pick one window at the top of settings to scale only that one. Snapped neighbours move along.

Lock and click-through

Each window can decide when it's on screen. To set it for one window, right-click its title and open Show; for every window, use Settings›Windows›When it shows.

Show

On top of that, each window hides by itself:

• in pet battles, in vehicles and during cutscenes (all on by default), and
• until the fight it shows has data, with Hide when empty (off by default).

/pm hide and /pm show hide or show every window by hand; the minimap button does the same with a left-click.

Fade out of combat

Fade out of combat dims a window a while after a fight: after 8 seconds to 35% by default (Fade after and Faded opacity). Point at the window and it comes right back. Windows can also fade while you move.

Meter windows can dim while your character moves, so you can see where you're going, and come back the moment you stop. Out of combat and in combat each have their own switch and opacity.

1. Open the fading settings

   Go to Settings›Windows›Fading. To set it for one window only, pick that window in the Editing box at the top first.

2. Turn on Moving out of combat, Moving in combat, or both

   Each one shows its own opacity slider when you turn it on.

3. Run around

   After a short wait the window fades. Stop, start a fight (for the out-of-combat fade) or point at the window, and it comes back.

A window preset replaces your windows with a ready-made set, snapped together at the bottom right. Start from one of Peelometer's, or save your own setups and switch between them, like one for raid night and one for Mythic+.

Use a preset

1. Open Window presets

   Type /pm presets, right-click a title bar and choose Window presets..., or click Choose a preset... in Settings›Windows›Your windows.

2. Pick one and click Use this preset

   It says how many windows it replaces and offers to save your current ones first, so you can always go back.

3. Move them where you like

   The new windows are snapped together, so they move as one.

Save your own

In the same dialog, Save current windows stores what each window shows, its size and place. Two choices when you save:

• Keep each window's own style and theme: the preset also brings back each window's bar style, text and theme.
• Put windows back in the same spots: on, they go exactly where they were; off, they're placed bottom right like the built-in presets.

Your presets are listed under Your presets for every character on your account. Each can be renamed, updated from your current windows, duplicated, shared or deleted.

Share a preset

Share... gives you a text string that starts with !PM-LAYOUT1!. Send it to a friend; they paste it into Import... in their Window presets dialog.

Switch with /pm layout

/pm layout opens a short list of the built-in presets and yours. Click one and it asks first, the same as the Window presets dialog: Replace windows, Save them first... or Cancel. Esc or the close button changes nothing.

With a name, /pm layout dungeon goes straight to that question. It works with your own presets too, like /pm layout raid night, and with the short names solo, dungeon, healer, dps and pvp.

Point at any bar to see that player's details next to it: totals, strongest and weakest spells as bars, pets, deaths and more. It's Peelometer's own panel, styled like your theme.

What it shows

Tick sections on or off and drag them into your own order in Settings›Hover details›Sections. The last line says what a click does.

When and where it shows

• Show when: on every hover, only while you hold a modifier key (Shift, Ctrl, Alt or any), or only out of combat.
• Position: next to the bar, along the side of the window, or at the mouse cursor.
• Spell bars: how many strongest and weakest spells, tall bars like the window's or compact ones, spell icons, and colors by spell school.

Click a bar to open that player's breakdown: every spell with its amount, per second and share, plus overkill, pet and main target. Put a second player next to it to compare.

Open a breakdown

• Left-click a bar (the default). You can change it to Shift + left click, or the right-click menu only, in Settings›Breakdown›Opening.
• Right-click a bar: Breakdown, Breakdown in a new window or Compare with me.
• Right-click a title bar: Breakdown: me opens your own.

By default, clicking another bar shows that player in the breakdown you already have open. Turn off Reuse the breakdown window to open a new one per click and keep several side by side.

Columns and sorting

Click a column header to sort (after combat). Hide the columns you don't need in Settings›Breakdown›Columns.

Compare and pin

• Compare... puts another player next to the first, side by side, with the difference (after combat).
• Pin keeps the breakdown following the fight as it goes on. New breakdowns are pinned by default.
• On the Deaths meter, the breakdown shows that player's deaths with the killing blow instead of spells.

Item level and gear

The header shows the player's item level. Gear next to it lists the items they wore in that fight, with each item's level; hover one for its tooltip. Out of combat Peelometer quietly inspects group members who are close by (one every few seconds), so someone who joined mid-fight or stood far away may have none yet. Turn inspecting or gear saving off in Settings›History›Item level and gear. Bar text can show it too with {ilvl}.

The details window is where you look back: any saved fight, every pull of a boss on one chart, or a whole run or raid night added up. Open it with /pm details, the details button in a title bar, or Open details in the window menu.

Pick a fight

The list on the left has the current fight on top, then your saved fights grouped by instance and day. Type in Search fights to find one by name, and click the star at the top to see favorites only. The star on each fight makes it a favorite, which is never deleted by history cleanup.

Above the tabs, choose how much to add up:

Show in the top right picks the meter (Damage done, Healing done, Interrupts and so on).

Tabs

At the bottom, Copy as text and Post to chat... share what you're looking at (see Post to chat and copy).

Peelometer keeps track of who died, when and what killed them, and can tell you the moment it happens, without ever posting to chat.

The death log

• The Deaths meter lists who died in a fight and when.
• The Deaths tab of the details window adds the killing blow, who dealt it and the overkill.
• Click Open on a death for Blizzard's full death recap: the last hits before the death.

Death alerts

Off by default. Turn them on in Settings›Deaths›Death alerts:

The Interrupts and Dispels meters count how many casts each player kicked and how many effects they removed. Both work live in combat.

The matching tabs in the details window also list the spells each player used, like Kick or Counterspell. Turn that list off with Show which spells in Settings›Interrupts & dispels.

Stops by stuns and knockbacks

A stun, knockback or other crowd control that stops a cast isn't counted. That's not something Peelometer forgot: the game hides enemy casts and crowd control from addons, so no addon can see it.

A few seconds after each fight, once the numbers are final, Peelometer saves it: every player, every meter, and each player's spells. Saved fights show up in the fight picker and the details window, and they stay after you log out.

What is kept

Favorites are never deleted. Star a fight in the details window, or type /pm history fav 3 for the third fight in the list.

History in chat

Share a fight

Right-click the title of a window showing a saved fight and choose Share this fight.... Copy the string (it starts with !PM-FIGHT1!) and send it. The other player chooses Import a fight... in their window menu, or types /pm history import, and the fight appears in their fight picker under Imported fights.

Resetting the meter

The reset button in the title bar, Reset all fights... in the window menu, and /pm reset clear Blizzard's meter (Current, Overall and its past fights), so the next fight starts empty. Your saved fights are kept. Resets can't happen during combat.

Peelometer can also reset by itself, in Settings›Fights & history›Reset Blizzard's meter:

• When entering an instance: Ask (the default), Always reset or Never.
• When joining a group and When leaving a group: off by default.
• Confirm before reset: asks before any reset, automatic or by hand. On by default.

Peelometer remembers your best DPS and HPS on each boss you kill and each key level you finish, per character. Type /pm bests to see them.

• Click a row to open that fight in the details window (as long as it's still saved).
• /pm bests also prints the list in chat. /pm bests chat only prints it.
• The window menu has Personal bests too, under Extras.

Notices after a pull

These are in Settings›Fights & history›Personal bests. The Top 3 HUD can show the same comparison under it.

Share a fight's results in chat without surprises: you always pick where, see the exact lines first, then confirm. Or copy them as text and paste them anywhere.

Post to chat

1. Open Post to chat

   From the window menu (Post to chat...), the details window, or /pm report. /pm report 10 starts with the top 10.

2. Choose where, how many lines and what each line shows

   Party, Instance, Raid, Guild or Say; top 3, 5, 10 or everyone; amount with per second or percent, per second only or amount only; and the meter. The preview shows the lines exactly as they'll be posted.

3. Click Next, then Confirm

   The confirm step says how many lines go where and who will see them. Tick Don't ask again to skip it for that channel next time.

Copy as text

Copy as text (window menu or details window) opens a box with the report selected. Press Ctrl+C and paste it wherever you like: a forum post, a note, another chat. Copy template in settings picks what the box starts with: a short top 5, the top N, or every meter. A fight still going can't be copied; try again when combat ends.

Defaults and after-fight prompts

All in Settings›Reports.

A theme sets the colors of the windows, the hover details and the settings, and banana themes bring their own banana art. Pick one in Settings›Themes, or type /pm theme.

All 45 themes

/pm theme frost switches every window by name; part of a name works too. Without a name it opens the theme settings.

A theme per window

Right-click a window's title and open Theme to give just that window its own theme. Same as other windows puts it back. You can also pick the window in the Editing box at the top of settings and choose a theme there.

Seasonal and random themes

• Seasonal banana themes (off by default): Hallow's End from Oct 18 to Nov 1 and Winter Veil from Dec 16 to Jan 2. Windows with their own theme keep it.
• Theme on login: your own pick, a theme of the day (the same all day), or a random banana theme each login. Your own pick stays saved.
• Banana in the title bar and Watermark strength control the banana art.

Build your own theme

1. Open Settings › Themes › Your themes

   Start from scratch, or click Start from current theme.

2. Pick 8 colors

   Background, raised background, text, primary, primary dark, text on primary, secondary and link. Tick Light theme for a light one. Peelometer works out the rest and keeps text readable (4.5:1 or better).

3. Save and use

   Saved themes are shared by all your characters and listed under Custom in the picker.

Want to see the world through a window without losing the numbers? Lower its background opacity: only the backdrop behind the bars fades. Bars, text and the title bar stay solid.

1. Open Settings › Windows › Layout

   Leave Editing on All windows to change every window, or pick one window there to change only that one.

2. Drag Background opacity

   From 100% (solid) down to 0% (no background at all). The default is 95%.

A bar style is how each bar looks: its fill, shape, border, icon and marks. Start from a preset in Settings›Bars›Style, then change anything in the style editor.

The presets

One style for all, or one per window

The style you pick applies to whatever you're editing:

• All windows (the default when you open settings).
• One window: pick it in the Editing box at the top of settings, or right-click its title and choose Bar style...
• One meter: in the style editor, set Applies to to "Every Healing window" or "This window, only for Healing". Handy for thinner bars on Interrupts or Deaths.

Styles you save (Save as style...) are listed under Saved styles for every character on your account. Share... gives you a string a friend can paste into Import...

Colors and motion

The style editor changes every part of a bar, with a live preview next to it. Open it with Edit style... in Settings › Bars, or Bar style... in a window's menu.

1. Pick a starting point

   Click a preset at the top (or one of your saved styles).

2. Change what you like

   The preview follows every change. Tick In combat (live) to see how the bars look during a fight.

3. Choose Applies to, then Apply

   All windows, this window, every window of one meter, or this window only for one meter.

What you can change

Reset to preset undoes your changes. Text templates, number format and row spacing aren't part of a style; they're window settings (see Text, numbers and fonts).

Each bar has a left text and a right text, built from tokens you can rearrange. By default the left says {rank}. {name} and the right shows the meter's own numbers: per second, amount and percent (a count for interrupts and dispels, the time for deaths).

Text templates

Edit Left text and Right text in Settings›Bars›Text. Leave the right text empty for the meter's own format. For example, {amount} · {perSecond} or {name} ({spec}).

Tokens that have nothing to show (like {percent} in combat) are left out, along with the brackets and commas around them.

Numbers

Fonts and textures

Settings›Fonts & textures sets the bar font, font weight and text size (a bar style can pick its own). Peelometer ships Inter, Roboto Condensed, Bebas Neue, JetBrains Mono and Montserrat next to the game's fonts. All but Bebas Neue come in six weights: X-Thin, Thin, Normal, Medium, Bold and X-Bold. For fonts with one weight, a (?) takes the place of the weight buttons.

• Use LibSharedMedia lists (on by default) adds the fonts and textures other addons registered, like ElvUI or WeakAuras.
• Your own files: put fonts or textures in Interface/AddOns/Peelometer_Media/ (its own folder, so addon updates never delete them) and list them there. New files need a full game restart, not just /reload.

Personal mode turns a window into a list of your own spells, one bar per spell, instead of one bar per player. It works live in combat, because the game always shares your own spells.

1. Right-click the title of the window you want

   Under Extras, tick Only my spells. The title changes to "My Damage" (or My Healing, and so on).

2. Fight

   Your spells fill in live (LIVE). After combat they get their percentages and sort by amount (FINAL).

3. Click a spell bar

   It opens your full breakdown. Hovering a spell bar shows the game's spell tooltip.

The Top 3 HUD is a tiny frame with your rank and the top three players in the current fight. It works live in combat and takes almost no room. Turn it on with /pm hud, Top 3 HUD in the window menu, or Settings›Windows›Top 3 HUD.

Drag it to move it; right-click it for its options.

When a key ends, Peelometer shows the whole run at a glance: the key level and time, group totals, and a row per player with damage, healing, interrupts, deaths and avoidable damage taken.

• Open in details opens the whole run in the details window.
• Post to chat... and Copy share it (see Post to chat and copy).
• Missed it? /pm summary opens the last one, and so does Last Mythic+ summary in the window menu.

Just for fun: the shame board ranks who took the most avoidable damage, with a banana and a caption per rank, from "Stood in everything. Twice." down to "Spotless. Not one puddle."

• It's opt-in. Turn on Avoidable damage shame board in Settings›Deaths›Shame board, then type /pm shame after a fight.
• Open it after boss fights and keys shows it by itself when anyone took avoidable damage.
• It shows your last saved fight, or the whole run after a key, and the spell that hit each player most.

Bananas and captions (packs)Added in 1.0.0-beta8

A pack holds the bananas and captions for each rank: #1 to #5, Middle (6th and below), Last place and Spotless. Pick a pack from the menu on the board, or All packs (mixed) to draw from every pack. Click Customize... on the board, or type /pm shame edit, to make your own.

• Four built-in packs: Classic, Wholesome, Savage and Pirate. Change them like your own packs: a dot marks what you added, and Reset (where Delete is for your packs) puts one back to how it ships. Or Make a copy to start a new pack from one.
• Each rank takes up to 12 bananas and 12 captions. Click the + tile to pick from almost 200 bananamojis, some animated.
• Click a banana or use the menu next to a caption to set how rare it is. A rank's picks are weighted: Common 20, Uncommon 8, Rare 3, Epic 1.
• Empty ranks borrow from Middle (for #2 to #5), then from Classic.
• The board picks the same banana and caption for a player every time you open the same fight. Shuffle picks again.
• Share makes a string anyone with Peelometer can paste into Import a pack.... Bananas their version doesn't have show as another banana.

Peelometer has a minimap button, an entry in the addon menu under the minimap, and a Data Broker feed for info bars. All of them are in Settings›General.

Minimap button

Turn it off with Minimap button. Addon compartment lists Peelometer in the addon menu under the minimap.

Data Broker feed

Peelometer DPS shows your rank and number on display addons like Titan Panel or ElvUI data texts. In combat it shows your rank; the number follows when combat ends. Hover it for the top 3, click it for the details window, right-click it for settings.

Every option lives in one settings window. Type /pm to open or close it, or /pm settings bars to open it on a section. The gear in a title bar and Esc›Options›AddOns›Peelometer get you there too.

Search

Type any word in the search box at the top: "dps", "fps", "height", "banana". Results show where each setting lives; click one to jump to it. Search also finds advanced settings that Simple hides.

All windows or one window

The Editing box at the top says what you're changing. All windows changes the settings every window shares. Pick one window there and the settings marked This window change only that window; the others keep the shared values. Edit all windows goes back.

Handy buttons

Live preview

Sections that change the look, like Bars, show a preview window next to the settings. Click Play a fight to watch it fill in combat and turn final, or tick In combat to see the live look.

A profile holds your windows, their look and every setting. Use one for all your characters, or let Peelometer switch profiles by character, spec or role. Saved fights are shared by all characters, whatever the profile.

Settings are...

Make, copy and reset

Under Manage: make a new profile, Copy from another (your windows are replaced too), delete one (characters using it go back to Default), or Reset profile... to put every setting and window back to defaults. Each asks first.

Share a profile

Export shows a text string starting with !PM-PROFILE1! with every setting of the current profile. Keep it as a backup or give it to a friend. Import a profile... opens a box to paste a string into (and an optional name); it makes a new profile and switches to it. Your current profile isn't changed.

Blizzard works out the numbers; Peelometer only redraws the windows. It asks the game once per meter each refresh and shares that answer with every window showing it, and windows you can't see pause. You choose how often windows redraw, and you can see what it costs.

Refresh

These are in Settings›Data & refresh, with a live Cost right now readout.

What it costs

Settings›Performance shows the time per refresh of every window and how many refreshes happen each second, the memory Peelometer uses, and the size of your saved fights. The target is under 0.5 ms per refresh in a 20-player raid. /pm perf prints the same numbers in chat.

Trim history applies the history limits right away (fights to keep, spell lists) instead of after the next fight. A smaller history file loads faster at login.

/pm, /peelo, /damage and /dmg are the same command: /dmg details works just like /pm details. /pm on its own opens or closes settings. Click a command below to copy it.

/pm layout dungeon switches to a window preset by name, after asking. /pm layout on its own shows a short list of the presets to pick from.

All 180 settings, grouped like the in-game settings window, with their defaults. Settings marked per window can differ for each window (see All windows or one window); account-wide ones are shared by all your characters.

Elsewhere

Patch 12.0 changed how meters work. Addons can no longer read the combat log, so every Retail meter, Peelometer included, now shows the numbers Blizzard's own meter works out. Here is what that means for you, in plain words.

What you can see, and when

• In combat the numbers are secret: addons may show them but not do math with them. That's why windows say LIVE and percentages are blank.
• After combat they turn normal within a few seconds, and Peelometer does the rest.
• Never in game: overhealing, friendly fire, healing taken, threat, crits and buff uptime aren't given to addons at all. The desktop app reads them from the combat log file the game still writes on your PC.

Why numbers can differ from other meters

Blizzard's meter: in combat, Peelometer shows exactly Blizzard's numbers. After combat they still match unless you changed how they're worked out.

Other addons: they read the same data, so totals should match. Differences usually come from choices:

Warcraft Logs and the desktop app read the full combat log file, which has more detail than the game gives addons. Small differences there are normal.

The free 1svc Addon Utils app for Windows and macOS has a Peelometer page. It reads the fights Peelometer saves and the combat log file the game writes, both on your own PC, so it can show what no addon can see in game. Peelometer works fine without it.

What the app adds

Combat logging

The extra numbers come from Logs/WoWCombatLog.txt, which the game only writes while combat logging is on. Peelometer can switch it on for you in Settings›1svc Addon Utils:

• Turn on combat logging automatically (off by default), then choose where: raids and Mythic+ are ticked, other dungeons, PvP and everywhere aren't.
• Turn it off again when I leave: only if Peelometer turned it on. Logging you started yourself with /combatlog is left alone.
• Turn on advanced combat logging too (on): needed for pets and the most accurate numbers.
• Remind me on a boss pull if logging is off: a short line in chat.

/pm log switches logging on or off by hand; /pm log status says which it is.

Save extra info for 1svc Addon Utils (on) keeps your characters and when logging was on, so the app can match log files to saved fights. It's tiny and stays on your PC.

Something not right? Most problems have a quick fix. Click a question to open it.

My windows are gone

• Type /pm show. A left-click on the minimap button also shows and hides them.
• Right-click where the window was and check Show in the window menu, or look at Settings›Windows›When it shows: a window set to In combat or In a raid hides elsewhere, and Hide when empty hides it until there's data.
• Check Enable Peelometer in Settings›General.

The windows say there's no data, or that Blizzard's meter is switched off

"No data yet" is normal before your first fight. If a window says Blizzard's damage meter is switched off, click Turn it on: Peelometer needs that meter's data (see Blizzard's meter). In a few places the game has no meter data at all, and the window says so.

Percentages are blank and the badge says LIVE

That's how 12.x works during a fight: numbers are secret until combat ends. A few seconds after the fight, the badge turns FINAL and percentages fill in. Why?

A fight wasn't saved

Fights shorter than 5 seconds, below your damage filter, or where nobody did anything aren't saved (boss fights always are). Very rarely the numbers stay secret for longer than Wait for final numbers up to (20 seconds); that fight is skipped. Both are in Settings›Data & refresh and Settings›Fights & history›Filters.

I can't move or resize a window

It's locked. Hold Alt while you drag, click the lock in its title bar, or type /pm unlock.

Clicks go through a window, or it blocks clicks on the world

That's Click-through in Settings›Windows›Layout: Never, In combat or Always. Hold Alt to click a click-through window anyway.

/dmg or /damage opens another addon

Another addon uses the same command and the game picked it. Use /pm or /peelo instead.

I can't post to chat

A fight that's still going can't be posted, and the game locks addon chat during boss fights and Mythic+ runs. Post again when the fight or key ends.

The death recap says it's no longer available

The game keeps death recaps for a short while only. The time and killing blow stay in your history.

My frame rate drops in raids

See Refresh and performance: a longer refresh interval and Reduce motion help most.

I want to start over

Settings›Profiles›Manage has Reset profile...: every setting and window goes back to its default. Saved fights stay; clear them with /pm history clear (favorites are kept).

Short answers. Each links to the section with the long one.

Found a bug, or have an idea? We read every report. You can send one from this website or from inside the game.

From the website

Use the buttons below, the bug icon in the top bar, or Something wrong here? under any section of this wiki (that one notes which section you were reading). Check the known issues first; your problem may already be on the list.

From the game

1. Type /pm bug (or /pm feature for an idea)

   A small form opens. It's also in Settings › Help › Feedback.

2. Give it a title and say what happened

   Steps to make it happen help a lot.

3. Save it, or copy a link

   Save for Addon Utils saves it in game. After /reload or logout it shows up in the 1svc Addon Utils app: check it there and click Send. Nothing is sent before that. No app? Copy link instead gives you the website form's link and your version info to paste.

Testing the beta? Add your checklist export from tester mode; it tells us what works for you too. /pm tester starts it.

Peelometer is in beta. Tester mode gives you a checklist of things to try, one per feature, with what should happen. Nothing extra is recorded; it only helps you tell us what works.

The tester checklist

1. Type /pm tester

   Tester mode turns on and the checklist opens. /pm checklist opens it again later; it's also in Settings›Help›Tester mode.

2. Try an item and mark it

   Each item says what to do and what should happen. Mark it Works, Broken or Skip.

3. Export

   Click Export and paste the text into a bug report on the website.

What's new and the changelog

After an update, a small notice and a chat line say so; click the notice for What's new. /pm changes opens it any time, and /pm changes log opens the full changelog. Turn the notice off with Tell me after updates in Settings›General. The same notes are on the changelog page.
