how can I show 1 or maybe even 2 more recount windows> I can view realtime graphs but I want to show dps, hps and absorbs at the same time.

[learntoraid]

@HARV3YHAN5RA Yep Skada can do that for you. I actually used Skada for a long while and liked it, however I do prefer Recount's death log and Skada hasn't been playing nice with ElvUI lately.

Everyone knows what Recount is all about, so I think reviewing addons that aren't so popular but very handy, would be more useful.

[learntoraid]

@Nucleariasi Every level of player is welcome at Learn2Raid. Trust me, not everyone knows what Recount is. You gotta start somewhere! Don't worry, addon coverage will be very diverse and as mentioned in the video, you can always suggest an addon to cover next.

@SleekProductions1 : did you even listened to the begining of the video?? "If you are a new player in a dungeon bla bla bla" .... new player.... The new players are targeted to this videos. If you don't like it you have an "x" on the top right corner (windows, linux) or a red dot in the top left corner (mac users). Click it.

Whats the Minimap Addon you're using? :)

[otakixus2]

Would like to know why Recount lags my computer and most of my guild as well. My set up:

WoW 64-bit

Asus P5N-D Motherboard

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 2.83Ghz

G.Skill DDR2 800Mhz 8GB total RAM - Dual Channel Support

2x EVGA GTX 560 SC Ti - SLI Enabled

Did fresh WoW install twice. Ran only Recount and went to several places with tons of things going on at once - Yor'sahj, Ultraxion and Madness - and still lagged.

If you have an answer to this then please reply. Currently, I am running Skada.

She said "pie".... Yumm

[ventsislav92makaveev]

The more you know the more you faceroll !

[MRDR9598]

@megalo The modifier is not N it is number pad but she most likely has a Razer Naga which buttons use N as the modifier

[PyroVK]

i heard that recount is better for dmg and dps than skada. why is that?

[Dunderfut]

Honestly, I wish blizzard would do away with meters. Ever since someone came up with it, I've seen way too many good players bottom out because they are focused on a window with numbers in it. If used correctly sure, it's a great tool. You can see what you are and aren't doing. But if used incorrectly, you'll be watching that window instead of the fire you're standing in(insert any other noob moment here).

How do u get the borders on everything? Is there an addon that gives your windows that sexy border like yours?

[yazid129]

Hey there, would you mind posting your ElvUI settings? Specifically how you got your mana bar to look like that.
