Combat statistics
Azeroth Survivors Damage Meter
In the original game's player discussion, the damage meter is opened with the crossed-swords button beside the minimap. Noobheal HQ's gameplay also shows that icon on the lower-left edge of the minimap.
Start a run, look around the minimap's rim and click the swords. The expected result is a combat-statistics panel. This shortcut is documented by players in the original discussion; the button was identified in recorded footage, rather than tested in a live session for this guide.
Locate the button
- Enter the game world. Look for the round minimap in the upper-right corner of the recorded layout.
- Find the small crossed-swords icon on its lower-left rim. The plus and minus buttons are minimap zoom controls.
- Click the swords and check for the statistics panel. If nothing opens, record the game version and check whether your layout matches the original footage.
Look for the crossed swords beside the minimap. This crop identifies the button; it does not show the statistics panel open. Source: Noobheal HQ — 02:04
Noobheal HQ's original gameplay at 02:04 is the visual reference for the icon. That segment shows the button, not a demonstration of opening the panel.

Use the labels your panel actually shows
Read each field's label and unit before comparing it. A cumulative damage total and a rate labeled DPS answer different questions; they should not be treated as interchangeable numbers.
The available sources do not establish the current meter's full field list, time window or reset behavior. This guide therefore does not prescribe an unverified reset command, claim that it records every run or infer a specific DPS formula.
Compare runs under similar conditions
Record the class, zone, run options, permanent gear, talent progression and how far the run reached. A longer run against more enemies can produce a larger damage total without proving that its setup kills a particular boss faster.
Use statistics together with what happened:
| Run outcome | What to investigate |
|---|---|
| High damage, but an early death | Positioning, protection and recovery |
| Good wave clear, but a slow boss fight | Whether the setup has enough focused damage |
| Lower total damage in a shorter attempt | Run length and encounter differences before judging the build |
The build examples show why area clear and boss damage can need different choices.
If the shortcut is missing
Confirm that you are using Aethus's original. The similarly named addon and community reconstruction are separate projects, so their interfaces do not establish the original meter's controls.
If the game is still loading or never draws the world, use loading troubleshooting first. If your original-game version has a different layout, report its version and a screenshot through the original community rather than assuming an unsupported key binding.
