Critology Addon Review

I had been thinking for a while about looking for an addon to keep track of my crits and average damage for a while, but hadn't made the time to do it, until I head about Critology on The Instance (Episode #111). It sounded like just what I wanted, so I put it on straight away.

It's a tiny little addon, packed with some great features. Also, it uses less than 150Kb of memory to run!

You can choose to record loads of info, which you can also add to the tooltip for that spell/attack, such as:
- Average Crit
- Average Hit
- Crit Chance
- Crits
- Hits
- Mob Name
- Date & Time

You can notify your party or group each time you record a new crit, and the notification options are also customisable - allowing you to be notified on new hits &/or crits, as well as toggling the graphical notification of new damage/heal record breakers.

You can even set it to record a 'keepsake' of your crits in the form of a screenshot!

Options are changed through the new Interface > Addons tab in-game.

Working for both damage and heals (although it seems to get confused by potions), this is a great way to keep a track on your progress.

Download it now from WoW Interface.

I use an addon called TopscoreFu which as the name implies is a Fubar addon.

I does only record new crits though, and not averages.

I might test the addon you write about for that reason :)
