I skim too much

Could anyone give me a link of a mod that will track DPS and other goodies of people in group/raid and then allow me to spam group/raid chat with the outcome of said DPS.
I've skimmed through curse-gaming, and didnt find what I wanted. I know it exists or existed somewhere out there, it was used a while back.
Help?

Why would you want to annoy your guildies with who got more DPS/healing, etc?
I ban that from my raids. If it goes off, I give one warning, second warning means I will replace you. Hard to follow instruction when people are spamming the screen.

Because it's been asked for by my BG guildmates.
A few of the boys have huge e-peens and need their ego's stroked by having the most DPS during a battle. Someone asked me to look it up, I said I would and I cant find it so now I am asking you (general).

Plus, all my guildmates are in the battle with me, so spamming them would be the same as spemming /raid.
Nevermind, found it.

Damage meters?

If your guild is too retarded to raid and be distracted by someone flashing DM's then they probably shouldn't be raiding.
It's one of the best tools out there to show who's doing their job and who sucks. There really isn't really any reason to show it in raid chat but it's an invaluable tool. Dandelion in our raid group is the one who made the mod and he always updates it on curse-gaming (site is down) once he has an official release...we usually get to be the guinea pigs. He also uploads it to a Geocities page but I'm not sure if he wants that as public knowledge...I'll ask if I can post a link.

Shrug, it's a lifesaver during Onyxia raids for us. A few lucky crits here and there and you might be higher than the MT for overall damage. We spam it every couple minutes. Damn fury warriors...

Because the guy spamming it in our raid chat was doing it over and over for no reason. For those who do not have TeamSpeak they have to rely on typed command, and they cant read it when spam is flying across the screen. It is an invaluable tool, but on our server the noobs try to outdamage each other which results in uneeded deaths, which means a waste of time and mana. I have a 60mage. I always end up about 6th or 7th on the damage meter, I'm full frost. I ould do more damage if I wanted to, but I like to control my aggro. Hence, I don't die as often. I only died once on our UBRS raid the other day compared to the other mage who was spamming the tracker and died 11 times. The one time I died was because of the spam, one of our non TS raiders didnt see the command to jump down into the pit to start the event, and he ended up wiping the raid.
and explain to me how it is a lifesaver during a raid? If Tacks is running a raid, and he wants to know who does more damage, then he should run the parser and makes changes accordingly.

Because you reset it each boss and if you're WAY higher than you should be then you know to back off. I use it a lot on Vael and the drakes in BWL.
And if people are being annoying asshats in raid either boot them or tell them to stfu, not hard.

OK, I see your point, but then why not just post it ONCE after each boss? Also, again, as I said before, if we post it, then people try to outdamage each other, I think the term Darcler used was E Peen.
I yelled that in TS the other night. "Can we stop measuring our e peens and get back to farming please?" In LBRS. Its a stinking 5 man instance, we had 15 and they werent paying attention. ANd they want me to lead them into MC on Saturday. I think I'm gonna cancel it.

If people want to know their damage then they should be running it themselves. Theres really no reason to run it otherwise. Spamming it just to measure who has the biggest e-peen (we all know I do) wasn't what he created the program for and he hates when peopel use it that way.
Not to mention half the morons who run the program don't synch it up with the rest of the raid and are usually out of range of hunters/warlocks/mages or vice versa. The data means nothing unless it's synched with the raid.

Its great for raids when people are attacking too soon and fucking up tanks aggro gain. Sometimes people can slip by and not get caught because they will get lucky and not get aggro, we use the dps meter to catch those people and tell them to stop being asshats and follow the fucking sunder count rule.

What is your sunder count rule, ours is 3 I think on most bosses
Oh, and I BEAT A ROGUE IN A DUEL three days ago.

I am a moron. I didnt know you had to (this was the only one that I found, the one from the guildguy).
And we use it for curiosity. We use the HK numbers for epeen, damage for curiosity. The guy who flaunts that he critted on everyone and out damages everyone leveled on accident last night (lolwtf) so he left the guild.
Taxx, how do I synch up this shiz with the people I want to monitor. PM me.

3 sunders is the rule, but no one seems to be patient enough for 3 on the bosses, especially the ones we have on farm status. Usually we have people attacking the mob before one sunder even hits, and screaming WHAT SUNDER!!!! in raid chat.

Ick that sucks. I can imagine the shit posting a link like this would cause. More than likely its not bad here on NT as long as it STAYS here, but god if it got posted on a guild public forum or the WoW boards, holy shit.

Especially since curse-gaming is down...otherwise I don't think he'd mind as much.
