MinnaStats tracks the following information on a per-fight basis:
Damage, DPS, DPS Time, Damage Absorbed, Damage Resisted, Damage Overkill, Damage (minus Pets), Damage To Self, Highest Hit, Lowest Hit, Average Hit, Received Damage, Received Absorbs, Received Resists, Received Overkills, Crit %, Crit Count, Hits, Miss %, Miss Count, Glancing %, Glance Count, Crushing %, Crush Count, Effective Healing, Overhealing, Total Healing, HPS, Healing Time, Highest Heal, Lowest Heal, Average Heal, Healing Received, Decurses/Dispells, Resurrections, Deaths, Environmental Damage.
It's primary aim is to track all the above with minimal cpu impact, and let you examine them at your leisure.
You can even save the data for an entire run, which is broken down into each trash pack and boss fight, for retrieval at a later date. Useful for comparing yours (and others) progress compared to other runs.
It also announces to the raid, and has a very high level of accuracy. If you know something it isn't tracking properly, with the exception of Hunter Feign Deaths (they unfortunately show up as real deaths in the combat log, and I've yet to think of a decent low cpu fix), let me know! It is particularly good with all kinds of pets and totems!
For some very basic help, type "/mstats help", but for more detailed help try the option in the main menu.
Don't forget to try out the show/hide filter system. Useful for just showing one class, groups of classes, mobs, pets, that sod which just ganked you and the names of him and all his mates.
Future versions will extend the features, and track more detailed information. To help support the development of this addon, which eats a lot of my time, please consider visiting my homepage and donating a tiny sum! Just a pound, or a dollar, or a euro, nothing that would hurt.

MinnaButton isn't compulsory now, but it is handy for showing and hiding the main window.
Special thanks to various members of Head Hunters on Outland, whom I regularly picked on and dragged around to test things. Old Skool thanks to Cenobite for the help in testing, on the original version.
Generic Problem Fixer
Make sure you have downloaded and installed 2.01, it is showing up in your list of AddOns, and clearly both MinnaStats and MinnaButton are checked as enabled.
Search your WTF folder for EVERY occurance of the file MinnaStats.lua and delete it.
Run WoW, type "/mstats resetui"
This should fix all currently known issues with people upgrading from v2.00 and earlier
Fights can now be renamed
Combat records can now be archived for later use
New reports added:
- Damage Lost from Missing
- Total Damage Lost (includes absorbed, resisted and from misses)
- Appearances (quick way to see everyone who appeared in a fight)
- Contribution (loosely based on 1.x series' Raid Worth)
Made the Input dialog a tiny bit prettier, and responds to enter/escape
Added current whisper/channel announce targets to the menu
Pet damage time is now added to owner so DPS should correctly show for the owners
Installation Guide
- Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
- Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
- Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
- Windows XP has a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
- WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
- WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
- StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
- Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
- Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
- Start World of Warcraft
- Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.
Translations
When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".
TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)
When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.
If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support
WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.
