Abilities to compare
Pick up to five abilities. Every line uses the same character and target, so you can compare their strengths fairly.
Damage delivered over time
See which ability starts quickly and which needs time to pay off.
Damage dealt
Hover a graph or focus it and use ← / → to inspect values. Click legends to show or hide series. Tables and CSV contain every point.
How this graph is calculated
Each line independently repeats one ability with the same gear, target, talents and resource recovery. These lines are alternatives, not a combined rotation. Direct spells repeat at cast/GCD/cooldown speed; pure DoTs refresh on expiry. Periodic ticks do not crit. Figures use 0.5-second steps.
