Damage Meter, how to get if you want?

I'm asking because I don't know where I can get this addon to the game.
I'd like to know how much dps I do, so I can improve my gameplay, especially at the endgame.
While I ask this, there would also be nice with some kind of threat meter, if that exists.

This thread is not about damage meters beeing bad or good, useful or if they will destroy the game.

I just simply want someone friendly to point me in the right direction.

I could take a PM if you don't want to give the others the information..

Thank you.

(edit: Now I understand that there are no addons yet, but that we probably will get them later on when the combat log system is avaliable. From there, bioware will most likely add this feature themselves.)

Ok, thats understandable.
I remember that I read somewhere in the beta phase, that some people had this addon.
Perhaps you can't use that one for the real game.
Guess I'll have to wait!

There is no working combat log in the live client to record anything.

I'd also be careful about the 3rd party add on clause in the EULA. Depending upon how it's used, it could be cause for a ban (as the EULA currently stands). Now I know nothing of damage meters, but just thought you deserved that extra tidbit that others might not tell you.

download fraps, hit things for 60 seconds, watch it back slowly and count up the numbers that appear on the screen, / that number by 60..

If the game supports combat log (assuming such is implemented in the future) saving on disk, a parser would be very easy to do that shows on top of the game like an addon without actually touching the game at all.

If this game is going to be serious in any way then there needs to be a damage meter or you wont know how badly you're "friends" actually suck.
