Guides

Practical, hands-on writeups for Epog raiders and anyone parsing combat logs on World of Warcraft 3.3.5. New guides are added as the game and the site evolve — bookmark this page if you want to come back to it.

Getting started

• Enabling combat logging in WoW 3.3.5 — the /combatlog command, where the WoWCombatLog.txt file lives, and how Advanced Combat Logging changes what gets recorded.
• Uploading and analyzing your first log — the difference between Public and Private uploads, what the server stores, and where to find your parse afterwards.

Understanding the data

• How parse percentiles work — why a 95+ ranks orange, why the formula is value-based instead of rank-position-based, and what the colors mean at a glance.

Raids & encounters

• Onyxia's Lair — Epog strategy — three phases, dragon mechanics, role-by-role tips, and what to look for in your log afterwards.

About the realm

• What is Epog? — a primer on the realm, why it uses the 3.3.5 client, and how it differs from retail and other Wrath-era servers.

If there's a topic you keep wishing was written down — a class breakdown, a fight you'd like dissected, an addon you want explained — drop a message in the Epog Logs Discord and it'll be considered for the next batch.
