For measuring distances only



So, yesterday, I was fortunate to run a large chunk of Naxx in WoW.  It's outdated content, as far as numbers go.  Gear and player power have inflated a bit since it was revamped back in '08.  But, the fights still have the same mechanics and the dungeon crawl experience is still fun.

The thing that I didn't realize until I stepped inside was that I was running with a bunch of people that usually farm the current raid content, dabbling in the hard modes.  So, they had a substantial leg up on me as far as output goes.  The kicker is: I had no meter addons installed, no way of measuring everyone's damage/healing, etc.  So, while I couldn't quantify it exactly, they probably eclipsed me in terms of death-dealing.

Things died just the same.  Who did the most damage didn't matter, from where I was sitting...we all hit the bad things and said baddies died...so who cares?

Why should we give a crap about these little graphs o' damage/heals?
