I've taken this parse about a week ago, and found it rather interesting. Do not take it too literally however, as it still isn't possible to 100% correctly parse VG logfiles. I hadn't taken logs in a while, but since I noticed that it is now possible to parse DOTs correctly (for the most part), I've used /log with some new interest.

A few notes about the parser:
- I'm using my own parser, which is VERY simple and (pretty much) only records lines in the standard format. So, a good amount of damage may be missing (for example in the case of the cleric, as they have a lot of irregular log lines)
- the parser also doesn't take abilities which report damage twice into account, so there may be too much damage for some abilities

About the parsing situation:
- this was taken in the Temple of Tehatamani zone, while clearing one of the crypts
- we had a PUG consisting of a 50 disciple (me), 50 sorcerer, 50 dreadknight, 49 cleric (dinged 50 in the group), 47 (or 48, can't remember) monk and a 45 (I think) bard.
- as I took this log more to test my parser than for actual damage comparison, I didn't check the conditions too carefully (for example equipment of the group members)
- the cleric was main healer, I was backup. Didn't go full DPS either tho, especially when we went through the poisoned area (Aromizo crypt)

Results:
Suprises (for me):
- the similarity of the monk and the sorcerer in their total damage output
- the high! damage output of the dread knight
- the (comparably) poor damage of the bard, although the lower level may explain this (as the mobs in the crypt are 49-50 5dots)

How do you pars dots? They don’t show from whom they are and bleeding for example is not ability nor class specific for example.

Do you see tables with your post? I just see boxes with HTML, not very god readable. Is there a display option I need to change?

[Sasami]

- the high! damage output of the dread knight


Bard and Cleric, both can boost damage. I think the DK damage is fine. I’ve seen some nice dps from DKs in the past.
I’m surprised about the bard as well (Could it be that most of the listed abilities that do damage are the finisher? Could it be that you are missing entire styles?).
Monk is nice especially for being lower in level (if it is not an artefact). I don’t know much about monk parses because I have almost no sample data available (but some samples, I have seen, have duplicate lines for Ashen Hand; so basically: I don’t know).
For the Sorcerer, I don’t know about the situation (aggro, healing, power regeneration)

I think you compare people more than classes when you do PUG parsing.

Still there is that big unknown which and how many lines generate wrong numbers with the parser.



edit: I included some comments regarding the data. I hope the sentences still makes sense. :)

I mentioned it above, you CAN parse dots as they do show their owner now. Not sure when this was changed.

About the tables, the board here has disabled HTML code, so I don't see them correctly here either. If you want to have a nicer look, you have to cut&paste the tables into a file (with ending .html), then you can view it in your browser.

[Sasami]

I checked Char, Incinerate and Inferno. All 3 don’t show the source. Are you playing on test or why is it different for you?

[Gandos]

This looks pretty good. Do you think you could parse a few other classes? preferably druid :D

The DK's damage is definatly on par. Although, seems monks are high. I know they do tons of damage but wow, at 47 that monk is doing craploads of damage. Also seems cleric's are right about themselves not doing much damage. The bard in the group was low for the area. At 50, I would venture a guess of him being around 900 DPS.

Does this parcer take into account critical hits as extra? Do you know a good place to get a decent parcer?

[EQ Companion]

I checked Char, Incinerate and Inferno. All 3 don’t show the source. Are you playing on test or why is it different for you?

I have been working on converting my old EQ Companion parser to support Vanguard and what I have seen myself about DoT parsing has been that other people's DoT's seem to have their name in the log line but my own DoT's do not. I play level 35 shaman, so it might be different with other classes.

This changed about the beginning or middle of June. Before that, other people's DoT's did not mention their names either.

I have coded EQ Companion to assume that if the DoT type message does not mention the caster name, it will be assumed to be my damage. So far I have not gotten any DoT damage assigned to me that would not be my spells. I do not group that often, though, so I have definitely not gotten this tested thoroughly.

By the way, if you are interested in trying EQ Companion, you can download the beta version with VG support from http://www.eq-companion.com. The "Downloads" page has link for the beta version along with instruction on how to install it (It is Visual Basic 6 application so unless you have the required VB6 DLL's, you need to use the installer first and update to the beta after.

I also wrote a small write-up about the pequliarities about VG log files on my wiki-manual. It might be good to read before trying EQC with Vanguard. The direct URL is: http://www.eq-companion.com/wiki/index.php?title=Notes_about_Vanguard_support

Ahh I think I know what you mean, when you look at your own dots, the source isn't shown. It only appears when you look at others. So, if you cast a dot it looks like "dot deals damage...", for other players in the group it will appears as "xyz's dot deals damage...".

[Sasami]

There are still dot damage types which don’t have a damage source.

bleed (Bard?)
fevered (?)
Brilliant flames (Shaman?)

are examples of these.
