Combat Metrics is an open-source addon for The Elder Scrolls Online that records and analyzes combat encounters. It is aimed at players who want more than a single damage number, covering damage per second, healing per second, incoming damage, received and cast healing, skills, buffs, debuffs, resource use, and combat-log events. A live combat report window supports in-session review, while a lightweight mode focuses on current-fight DPS and HPS. Saved encounter data gives players a basis for reviewing performance after a fight.

Its strongest fit is detailed combat analysis. Combat Metrics stores complete encounters, filters combat-log events, tracks magicka and stamina use and regeneration, and supports replay analysis through saved fight data. That combination suits players comparing phases, reviewing resource management, or examining how buffs, debuffs, damage, and healing contributed to an encounter. The live report window also makes the addon useful during active play, while the lightweight mode offers a narrower view when full analysis is unnecessary.

The product is free and open source, with no paid plan structure to compare. Its scope is deliberately focused: the supported game is The Elder Scrolls Online, and its value centers on combat reporting rather than a broader game-management ecosystem. Players seeking a free ESO combat meter with live reporting, session history, and detailed encounter records should find the feature set well aligned with that need. Those looking for a tool that covers multiple games or a less detailed, single-purpose display should consider a narrower alternative.
