I think it would be helpful for comparing logs if the uptime spent dpsing a specific add was given instead of just total uptime when looking at damage on any particular mob.

This would allow users to easily see how much time two logs spent killing a certain add for example without manually trimming the log.

That’s a neat idea. Could probably put clickable colored bands in the graph to allow 1-click zooming to particular “sets” also.

Another idea I’ve had for a while is the ability to select add “sets” in addition to particular instances, so you could, for example select DPS to Bilewater Slime Set 1 on Helya.

Yeah grouping the adds by sets would also be great.
