ProcWatch

ProcWatch is designed to determine proc rates of weapon procs and monitor specific combat events. It helps players track how often certain procs occur during fights, providing valuable stats for optimizing gear and understanding proc mechanics.

Basic Workflow

1. Use /procwatch (event text) or click on the "Event" text in the UI to define what combat spam to monitor.
2. Hit a mob or enter combat; ProcWatch will start tracking hits and procs.
3. When combat ends, it totals the data and updates the display.
4. You can reset last fight or total stats via the interface.
