Description

What is EavesDrop?

EavesDrop is a combat log viewer that presents incoming and outgoing damage, healing, and other combat events in a clean scrolling text display, replacing the cluttered default combat log.

Categorized under Combat, and Miscellaneous, this addon is a must-have for players seeking to improve their World of Warcraft experience on private servers.

Key Features

  • Scrolling combat text display showing damage dealt and received in separate columns
  • Color-coded entries distinguishing between physical damage, spell schools, and healing
  • Filtering options to show only specific event types like crits, misses, or heals
  • Configurable history buffer letting you scroll back through recent combat events
  • Font, size, and frame customization for seamless UI integration
  • Outgoing and incoming damage separation for clear visual parsing
  • Skill and spell name display alongside damage numbers for ability identification
  • Minimal resource usage compared to parsing the full combat log

Why EavesDrop is Essential

The default combat log floods you with irrelevant information from every player in range. EavesDrop filters this down to just your personal combat interactions, presented in an easy-to-read scrolling format. At a glance you can see your biggest hits, track incoming damage patterns, and identify which abilities are performing well.

Supported Expansions

EavesDrop is available for Dragonflight, MoP, WoD, WotLK, Cataclysm, Legion, Classic, and TBC. Whether you play on a Classic private server or a modern expansion realm, this addon enhances your gameplay across all supported versions.

How to Install EavesDrop

Place the EavesDrop folder in your AddOns directory. Use /eavesdrop to open the options panel. Drag the frame to your preferred position and adjust width, height, font size, and event filters.

Installing EavesDrop on a private server

EavesDrop is made by Picpok. DivineTop hosts copies built for older game clients so they work on private servers.

Which version do you need?

Private servers run older game clients, and an addon only loads properly on the client it was built for. Pick the download that matches your server's client. To check an addon you already have, open its .toc file: the ## Interface: line should match the number below.

Install steps

  1. Download the EavesDrop build for your client from the Downloads panel above.
  2. Extract the zip into Interface/AddOns inside your World of Warcraft folder. Create the AddOns folder if it doesn't exist yet.
  3. Check the folder name matches the .toc file inside it, for example AddOns/EavesDrop/EavesDrop.toc. Downloads from GitHub often add -master or -main to the folder name, which stops the addon from loading, and the 1.12.1 client is especially strict about this.
  4. Start the game and click AddOns on the character screen. Enable EavesDrop, and tick Load out of date AddOns if it shows as out of date.

Lua errors right after installing almost always mean the build doesn't match your client. Delete the folder and download the version for your patch.
