It's worth checking out Recount. It is pretty data intensive, but it's VERY helpful in player improvement (try clicking on one of the bars in the meter itself). I would at least try it out, and if you notice a slowdown in gameplay at all, just chuck it for something else.

Violation shows threat as well, but Omen is more detailed and has more features.

Depends on how much info I need but usually its:

Just want a basic meter ---> Violation

Want a meter with some extra detail such as death tracking, etc ----> Assessment

Want lots of info and it needs to look pretty ---> Recount

Majority of time I use Assessment as it pretty much sits in the middle of the other two for memory and resource usage, yet generally gives me all the info I need.

If you're after something for "post combat" analysis then Recap is also very good.

I used to use SWstats, but since damage meters are one of the most cpu and memory intensive addons, I just chucked it and rely on others now.

[x] Recount

No doubt about that...

I used to use Recount but switched to Assessment because Recount produces excessive levels of addon comm spam.

i went and going to try out Assessment along with omen see how that works out.

i want to thank all of you for posting all this info so wonderful and i get to know all the names of them (as i only knew of like two ktm and Violation that i have tried anyways) you guys are great
