ArcDPS writes the log. SparkyBot parses the fight, posts the useful numbers, and says what your guildies were about to say—only faster and with receipts.
Not affiliated with ArenaNet. Barely affiliated with good taste. Extremely good at its job.
Sparky's optional AI commentary talks trash by default. The numbers work without the mouth. Your call.
- Less squinting, more answers. Refreshed Simple and Pro views put totals beside rates, make damage and support rankings easier to read, and keep the important numbers visible on smaller screens.
- Wall of Fame. Yes, even that guy. See who Sparky called out, what for, and the original commentary from fights in the report. It uses saved AI comments—not newly invented memories of your raid.
- Enemy Intel still has receipts. Compare your squad with each enemy color, inspect observed professions and incoming skill pressure, then drill into estimated subgroups, role candidates, strips, CC, and build fingerprints.
- One file, three levels of nerd. Pro gives the detailed analysis, Simple keeps the highlights, and Classic remains for the no-fun league.
- Player Compare steals the homework. Put two squad players side by side for damage, support, healing, weapons, rotations, skill shares, consumables, and observed trait evidence when the logs include it.
- It has outfits. Reports include Graphite, Midnight, Blackout, and Studio Light skins. The desktop app has its own themes and remembers your choice.
- Watches ArcDPS logs and processes completed fights automatically.
- Posts quick KDR, downs, kills, deaths, damage, and optional AI commentary.
- Builds a local HTML night report with sortable fights, detailed player stats, skill-share charts, boon/support/healing tables, high scores, and Enemy Intel.
- Supports Discord webhooks, Twitch chat, optional voice, manual file processing, raid sessions, optional dps.report links, and guild setup files.
- Keeps AI optional. Fight parsing and reports work without it.
For Windows, you'll need ArcDPS with combat logging enabled and the .NET 8 Desktop Runtime used by the Guild Wars 2 Elite Insights parser.
- Download the Windows installer (the file ending in
-Setup.exe) from the latest release. - Double-click it.
- Follow the first-run setup.
No Python scavenger hunt. No command prompt audition.
- Point Sparky at your ArcDPS log folder in the setup wizard or Settings.
- Choose where to post. For Discord, create a webhook under Channel Settings → Integrations → Webhooks, then paste its URL into SparkyBot. Individual fights and the night report can go to different destinations.
- Want commentary? Enable AI before the fights are processed. Choose a provider or a compatible local server in Settings. Leave it off for stats without the heckling.
- Click Start Run before the raid. After the last fight, let processing and any AI commentary finish, then click End Run to build the report. You can also select logs manually from the report page.
- Open the HTML in your browser or post it to Discord. When posting, Sparky sends the overview followed by the report file; large reports may arrive as a ZIP—extract it first.
Guild leaders can share Discord routing through File → Create Guild Setup File. Members load it with File → Use Guild Setup File.
Simple, Pro, and Classic are views of the same night in one HTML file. Simple gets you to the highlights; Pro adds the detailed comparisons and drilldowns. Report data and the Simple/Pro interface are embedded for local viewing; Classic may still need an internet connection for external assets.
Enemy composition and skill pressure come from observed combat data; enemy subgroups and roles are estimates. Trait evidence means an observed signal, not a complete equipment inspection. Confident nonsense is still nonsense.
Wall of Fame appears when AI is enabled for report generation and draws from locally saved final fight comments. Only comments matching the report's fights are included. Old logs without saved commentary won't grow quotes just because you generate a report. If you built it before the last AI response finished, regenerate it to pick up that comment.
High Scores describe the selected night. Long-term leaderboards, when present, are labeled separately and use accumulated history across raids.
Parsing and report generation run locally. Shared reports include player names, account identifiers, combat stats, and any included AI comments or leaderboards. Guild setup exports include Discord webhooks, but not AI keys, Twitch credentials, player history, or local paths.
Optional integrations send their inputs to the services you select: posts to Discord/Twitch, fight summaries and prompt context to AI, spoken text to voice, and combat logs to dps.report when uploads are enabled. AI and voice can use compatible local endpoints. Updates and tool downloads use GitHub; Classic report assets may also load from the web.
