Scoreboard suggestion: Damage taken

It would be nice to see who tanked the BG. This role seems underappreciated here.

addons like details and recount do this.

yah they also show dmg and healing but the numbers aren’t as accurate as the scoreboards

they’re generally more accurate than the scoreboards

…? how could that possibly be true

Even if they add this I can tell you what they will usually be a tank or a healer.

grab details. then compare its damage done chart to the scoreboard

I have. The numbers are generally lower than the scoreboards.

The combat log wont pick up events that happen if you are too far away.

mine is generally identical to the scoreboard, do you have Unique Segment and Show All checked in the PVE PVP options?

Sure but it would be interesting to see how everyone compares. If a healer out-tanks a tank or if a dps is doing higher than average tanking.

tbh in turtles it tends to be your front line melee pushers more than healers or tanks

they are not more accurate, they are limited by range where the scoreboard shows everything

this stuff doesn’t really matter though, what matters is rewarding objective play which the bg’s do not do

honor grinding is rewarded most by staying near the biggest blob of hk’s for your team and praying that someone else is getting the objectives

im checking this now if my queue would ever pop, but i’ve had my details match the scoreboard this whole time and never seen any reason to doubt it

but winning is being the person to sit and guard the objective.

If they are identical how can they be “more accurate”, hmm?

well for starters you can see exact amounts instead of approximations like K or M: 1,283,475 vs 1.28M. but also because you can go through details and see which spells did what, as well as who was killing players vs a turnip, or who did the most damage to a boss.

Yes, but I’m talking about accuracy. The dmg meters will always show your own stats to be higher because the combat log doesn’t fire on stuff that’s too far away.

yet i get damage numbers from alliance on Drek while im on Van, i have never seen details not match the damage meter so i doubt the idea that it is not showing damage from too far away unless you have something configured wrong in settings.

You’re being inconsistent with your posts, saying the dmg meters are more accurate, then saying they are exactly the same.

Anyway, this thread was about showing damage taken on the scoreboard, while you seem to be arguing there should be no scoreboard because everyone has dmg meters?
