DrDamage

DOWNLOAD

DrDamage is a theorycraft helper that estimates spell damage or healing from your current character and shows calculated values on buttons and tooltips. It is useful when you want this information or control available inside the game without adding an unnecessarily large UI package. The goal is to make a specific WotLK 3.3.5a task quicker and easier to read while leaving the rest of the interface largely unchanged.

Main features

  • average spell damage or healing estimates.
  • action-button text.
  • tooltip breakdowns.
  • talent, gear and buff-aware calculations within the limits of the addon data.

How to use

Open the options and choose a small set of useful values. Treat the output as an estimate, especially on private-server cores with custom mechanics.

Useful commands in the supported build include:

  • /drd
  • /drdmg
  • /drdamage

Installation

  1. Download the addon archive for your WotLK 3.3.5a client.
  2. Close World of Warcraft before replacing addon files.
  3. Extract the addon folder into World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns.
  4. Start the game and make sure the addon is enabled on the character-selection screen.
  5. Test its basic function in a safe situation before using it in a raid, arena, Auction House session, or other important activity.

If DrDamage does not appear to work, first check for an extra nested folder inside AddOns and confirm that you downloaded a build intended for the 3.3.5a API. Old WotLK addons often have several forks, so commands and optional modules can differ slightly between packages. Keep a backup of a working addon folder before replacing it with another fork.
