i did 99.8% if the damage?

Who does combat metrics think did the other 0.2 percent of the damage? a butterfly?

there is a ghost town in se right now on eu server and i cant do the dailies for dragon guard because people are out getting drunk or something? dont they know they have a responsibility to the folks in SE?

sheesh!
I simply must protest. There are no Penguin avatars for me to use in the forums.

BTW, I use arch too

    I think it's known as the butterfly effect.

    I snuck in a light attack from really far away while your back was turned, just so you couldn't claim you did it solo. Mwu hahahahhahaha.

    Yeah, CM has shown my total dmg to be 104% solo as well. Something isn't 99.8% with GM atm it seems.

    Gratz on the solo

    I often find combat metrics is a bit squiffy. Sometimes I do 104% of the damage (literally overkill) and then, mysteriously, in some dungeon content I appear to do almost none...

    I often think the game would be more interesting if we only had CM in practice situations (so we would know if we were improving) and not in the wild. That way maybe we’d judge success on whether we’d actually killed the boss rather than our DPS.

    That is why I am glad we don’t have CM on consoles, as it lessens the emphasis on dps and more on ‘do we know the mechs & can we kill it in a decent amount of time without too many dying’ which is a much more fun way of approaching the game 😁

    I sensed a disturbance in the aether, OP, so I sent a centipede to aid you.

    You were probably too busy staying alive to notice him hacking at the Boss's foot with 998 tiny swords.

    I think it's because combat metrics sometimes starts to count damage slightly to late or slightly to early resulting with values slightly under or slightly above 100%. For example if combat metrics didnt consider Your 1st hit as Your hit because it didnt started calculating Your damage yet then for combat metrics that 1st hit was done by someone else.

    One of the newest ZoS's team members is former add-on creator and he was gaining feedback needed to his addon also on the forum. Addons are part of the game.

    You hurt its feeling by soloing it, which count for the 0.2%. Sometime mental damage can hit as hard as physical damage.
