GrimReaper
Grim Reaper
Your tank died? Why? That's the question really.
Grim Reaper gives you a very quick and easy access to the relevant combat log of any raid member with just a flick of the mouse or the press of a key. It will also monitor raid member health levels for the duration of combat log data and will show the health of any unit alongside their concise combat log display.
Using
There are several ways to use Grim Reaper.
- My personal favorite is to leave it hidden most of the time and use the hotkey activator. If you go into Blizzard key bindings and scroll down to Grim Reaper and setup a key for the Quick View function (I use F10), then whenever I need the reaper window I hold the quick view button, mouseover to who I'm interested in and release the quick view key. This locks the view onto that player and you can scroll around and do your investigating. When you're done with it, simply press the quick view key again and Grim Reaper hides itself once more.
- Others will prefer to setup a keybind to lock the reaper on a target and leave it open all the time, perhaps watching their main tank.
- Some people prefer to dock Grim Reaper onto the tooltip, but this offers reduced functionality as the display is non-interactive in this mode, but it does offer a quick and simple view.

Will there be an update for 4.0.x?
is there any chance of a fix coming, or a similar addon out there that works with 3.3.5?
as soon as i zone in the instance after after i died, all data regarding myself is deleted.
plus the data of all other raidmembers isn´t displayed at all (even if i don´t change the zone)
after a relog the settings lost..

Was going to post some issues I was having, but I get most of my addons from Curse (w/ client updates), and haven't cleared my variables in forever; so I deleted all my GR variables and downloaded r83 from here (is that a newer version than on Curse)? And I'm already noticing it's showing for instance buff gains that it wasn't before, so maybe my issues don't apply anymore either.
Regardless, great addon, love it. Cheers.
Edit: Any way to scroll really fast through the log? (like page down, home/end) I know I can scale the window holding alt and scrolling while hovering over the frame, and just scrolling to scroll through the history, but pgdn/end combinations don't seem to work, unless I'm being silly. Thanks!

if(overkill==nil) then

First off, thanks for reopening this great addon.
Second, it works great when I mouseover my VuhDo raidframes, but when I mouseoff the GrimReaper window hides, so I can't get a good look at what really happened to the target. Is there a way to lock the window open once you pick the target you want to see?
Third, can you lock a breakpoint in time or after a death? I am not really interested that my tank has zoned back in to Ulduar and started rebuffing.
Fourth, can you add a feature that will show my actions side-by-side to the targeted death? I am a healer and sometimes I swear that I was healing the target that died, so it would be nice to see what actually happened in the log, and Lord knows I am not finding that crap in the Blizzard Combat Log.
Thanks again, and good luck!
Even after a short fight, the combat log still contains the previous fights until some 5 minutes previously. The health storage has to go back to the start of the log. Which is why the usage is continuous over time.
Nothing is kept that is not required. And anyhing discarded is re-used. It's that simple. And to be honest, 5-7mb is really not a lot for what it's doing.
