Fast WoW Combat Analyser

Instant, offline combat log analysis for World of Warcraft
No uploads. No delays. Just open and analyze.

Why?

Since the WoW Midnight release, the popular Details! Damage Meter addon has struggled to provide reliable post-combat analytics. Encounter breakdowns, damage/healing meters, and timeline data are often inaccurate or missing entirely — leaving raiders and M+ pushers without the tools they need to improve.

Existing alternatives like Warcraftlogs require uploading your combat logs to an external server and waiting for them to be processed. That's fine for progression review, but when you just want to quickly check how a pull went between attempts, that workflow is too slow.

Fast WoW Combat Analyser fills that gap. It reads your WoWCombatLog files directly from disk and presents a full analysis instantly in your browser — no uploads, no accounts, no waiting.

Getting Started

Download

Grab the latest wowlogger.exe from the Releases page.

Run

1. Double-click wowlogger.exe
2. It auto-detects your WoW combat log directory (World of Warcraft\_retail_\Logs)
3. Click "Open in Browser" — your analysis is ready at http://localhost:3000

⚠️ Windows SmartScreen may block the program on first launch because the executable is not code-signed. Click "More info" → "Run anyway" to proceed. The app is fully open-source — feel free to inspect or build it yourself.

Make sure combat logging is enabled

Type /combatlog in WoW to start recording, or add this to your WoW macros to toggle it automatically.

Spell Tooltips (Optional)

A bundled spell_fetcher tool can fetch spell names, descriptions, and icon URLs from the Blizzard Game Data API and cache them locally for the frontend to use.

Setup

1. Create API credentials at https://develop.battle.net/access/clients
2. Build the tool:

   cargo build --release --bin spell_fetcher

3. Run it:

   # Set credentials (or the tool will prompt you)
   $env:BLIZZARD_CLIENT_ID = "your_client_id"
   $env:BLIZZARD_CLIENT_SECRET = "your_client_secret"
   
   # Run — defaults to C:\World of Warcraft\_retail_\Logs, EU region
   .\target\release\spell_fetcher.exe
   
   # Or specify a custom log directory and/or region
   .\target\release\spell_fetcher.exe "C:\path\to\logs" --region us

The tool scans all WoWCombatLog*.txt files, extracts unique spell IDs, and fetches data from Blizzard's API into frontend/spell_tooltips.json. It skips spells already in the cache, so subsequent runs only fetch new ones.

Tech Stack

• Backend: Rust (Tokio + Axum) — fast, safe, and memory-efficient
• Frontend: Vanilla HTML/CSS/JS — embedded directly in the binary
• GUI: Native Win32 — lightweight control window with dark theme
• No external dependencies at runtime — everything is compiled into a single executable
