Logs & parses
Addons can't read the combat log on Forever, but the game still writes one to a file. Record it, then read it on a log site to review every pull, death and interrupt.
Record a log
- Esc → Options → System → Network: turn on Advanced Combat Logging. Log sites need it.
- Before the first pull, type
/combatlog. The game confirms logging is on. - Play the whole dungeon or raid, trash included.
- Type
/combatlogagain to stop, so the file is complete. - Find WoWCombatLog in the Logs folder of your Forever install, next to Interface and WTF.
A boss you fought before turning logging on can't be recovered from the file.

Tips
IN GAME FIRST
For quick numbers, the built-in Damage Meter needs no file. See built-in tools.
KEEP FILES SMALL
The file keeps growing while logging is on. Stop logging after the run and delete old logs once uploaded.
