Would damage meters be good for the game?

Hypothetically, if you could view total dmg on a map for the group would you like yhis or dislike this?

i dont think that we need a dps meter in an ARPG. atleast i wouldnt use it, the numbers of dmg are not the important ones in poe..

Bad, just like they are for every other game. Promotes too much elitism and gives people the ability to jump onto other people about how their damage is too low.

It would provide nothing of positive value to the game since we neither need to worry about beating rage timers on bosses nor about keeping threat levels in check to control aggro. And when talking about dead weight in a team it would be impossible to measure correctly with all the variables possible in combat (minions/curses/etc).
Plus the only real time you would care about dps is on maps, and you'll either find out after they enter the map and do nothing or die in it... either way its done nothing until at least one portal is wasted anyway. Last edited by Jiero#2499 on Nov 24, 2013, 12:52:22 AM

Some people are already too concerned over their imaginary DPS. The DPS shown in the game is wildly inaccurate, since it doesn't factor into account resists, multiple projectiles, shotgunning, multiple hits per projectile, etc.
My character has a listed ~770 dps for incinerate, which I know is low, but I can tank map Kole boss. I'd rather be able to survive than do big numbers. |

Seeing dmg output could help those that never quite get how dmg vs def or spell dmg vs resists work.
More than a dmg meter tho... What I want added is a combat log at the very least. How many times have you died saying wtf killed me? Combat log ftw. |

" a combatlog might give to many informations but a death recap like in LoL (i know its a diffrent typ of game etc) would be very usefull |
