Many of the questions most commonly asked by HeroStats users are related directly to a particular City of Heroes/Villains power. All powers that are not fully tracked by HeroStats are listed below.

This list is current as of June 29, 2008.

Each power is listed with the following information:

• Power Name
• Description of Issue. Clicking on the description will link to detailed information about the issue.

Special notes:

• The Controller inherent power Containment can cause inflated accuracy for many powers, because Containment duplicates the damage message for those powers. Since this can affect most Controller powers, those powers are not listed individually below. This affects only "Power Accuracy" statistics, not "Player Accuracy".
• "Player Accuracy" for many powers with a secondary effect is incorrect. This is because the hit-miss combat log messages for these powers contain messages for both the main power and the secondary effect. These powers are not individually listed below. This affects only "Player Accuracy" statistics, not "Power Accuracy".

The following section lists the issues with each power.

• Acrobatics - No Power Used Statistic.
• Aid Other - No Amount Healed for this power (does not affect Total Healing statistic).

• Breath of Fire - No Power Accuracy due to Identical Hit Messages.
• Bright Nova - No Power Used Statistic.
• Burn - No Power Accuracy or Damage Statistic.
• Caltrops - No Power Accuracy or Damage Statistic.
• Chilling Embrace - No Power Used Statistic.
• Choking Cloud - No Power Used Statistic and No Power Accuracy due to no Hit Message.
• Cloak of Fear - No Power Used Statistic and No Power Accuracy due to no Hit Message.
• Cosmic Burst - Pet Powers Invalidate Power Accuracy Tracking and Pet Damage Combined with Player Damage.
• Crush - Multiple Identical Hit Messages. Also, the damage for Crushing Field is combined with Crush because their damage message is exactly the same - the power name is not included.
• Crushing Field - No Power Accuracy due to Identical Hit Messages. Also, the damage for Crushing Field is combined with Crush because their damage message is exactly the same - the power name is not included.
• Dark Nova - No Power Used Statistic.
• Dark Pit - No Power Accuracy due to no Hit Message.
• Darkest Night - No Power Used Statistic.
• Dart Burst - No Power Accuracy due to Identical Hit Messages.
• Death Shroud - No Power Used Statistic.
• Detonator - No Power Accuracy or Damage Statistic.
• Dispersion Bubble - No Power Used Statistic and No Buff Given or Received Statistic for AoE toggles. Also, when this power is used by pets, the buff message is different than the player version.
• Disruption Field - No Power Used Statistic.
• Dragons Tail - Occasionally, damage from this power will show up the combat log for characters that can't possibly have it (such as Corruptors and Brutes). This does not appear to be tied to any particular temp power or team makeup.
• Electrifying Fences - No Power Accuracy due to Identical Hit Messages.
• Electron Haze - Pet Powers Invalidate Power Accuracy Tracking and Pet Damage Combined with Player Damage.
• Empty Clips - No Power Accuracy due to Identical Hit Messages.
• Energy Flight - No Power Used Statistic.

• Fearsome Stare - No Power Accuracy due to no Hit Message.

The activation message of the tanker/brute version is exactly the same as the message shown to the recipient of the corruptor buff. HeroStats tracks this as the corruptor version, so that buff timers will show up for anyone receiving the corruptor buff. Unfortunately this means the tanker/brute version shows a buff timer whenever you activate the power or zone. Also, the buff message is shared by the Wedding Band temp power, so that temp power will show as an activation of Fire Shield.
• Flamethrower - No Power Accuracy due to Identical Hit Messages.
• Flash Arrow - No Power Accuracy due to no Hit Message.
• Flash - No Power Accuracy due to no Hit Message.
• Flashfire - No Power Accuracy due to Identical Hit Messages.
• Fly - This power has no activation message, but does show a message indicating flight. (You are flying!) That message is also used by every other power and effect that causes flight - Hover, Group Flight, Teleport, all the various temp powers that grant flight, etc. HeroStats will attempt to use this message to indicate activations of Fly, but the count will be wrong if any of the other flight-granting powers were used in the same game session as Fly.
• Frost - No Power Accuracy due to Identical Hit Messages.
• Frostbite - No Power Accuracy due to Identical Hit Messages.
• Frost Breath - No Power Accuracy due to Identical Hit Messages.
• Frozen Armor - There is no Power Used statistic for this power (ancillary pool version) because it conflicts with Rock Armor and the temp power Cryonite Armor.

• Inky Aspect - No Power Used Statistic.
• Invincibility - No Power Used Statistic.
• Irradiate - No Power Accuracy due to Identical Hit Messages.
• Kuji-In Retsu - The buff message for this power is identical to Elude. Thus the buff timer shows a power name of Elude when Kuji-In Retsu is activated. The duration is correct on this timer.

The activation message of the tanker/brute version is exactly the same as the message shown to the recipient of the corruptor buff. HeroStats tracks this as the corruptor version, so that buff timers will show up for anyone receiving the corruptor buff. Unfortunately this means the tanker/brute version shows a buff timer whenever you activate the power or zone.

The following section contains detailed information about the issues with various powers.

• No Buff Given or Received Statistic for AoE toggles - The game client generates messages only when area of effect (AoE) toggles are turned on. Since these powers are toggles, the buff messages are incomplete - additional buffs may (and almost certainly will) be granted. Rather than add an inaccurate number to the buff statistics, HeroStats will not track these buffs at all.
• No buff received statistic or buff timer - The game client does not generate a log message for the recipient of the buff. Without a log message, HeroStats is unable to track the buff.
• Buff Timers show Unknown Target - The game client does not generate a log message that includes the recipient of the buff. Without a log message, HeroStats only knows the power was activated, not who was buffed.
• Buff Timers show Unknown Source - The game client generates a log message showing that the buff was received, but not the source of the buff. HeroStats can show the buff timer, but not the name of the player that provided it.
• No Power Used Statistic - The game client does not generate a log message when the power is activated, or the message generated is identical to another power. For toggle powers, the activation message might be generated multiple times when the toggle is turned on, making an accurate activation count impossible.
• Pet Powers Invalidate Power Accuracy Tracking - Pets use some of the same powers as their owners. When the same powers are used by both the player character and a pet, the log messages look identical. In some cases, these messages are the only way that HeroStats can track accuracy in the Power Accuracy section. Since the pets generate only hit messages, never miss messages, the accuracy statistic for the power will be higher than it should be. The accuracy is still displayed, because players using that power without a pet will see an accurate accuracy number.
• Pet Damage Combined with Player Damage - Pets use some of the same powers as their owners. When the same powers are used by both the player character and a pet, the log messages look identical. HeroStats cannot determine which powers below to the player and which belong to the pet, so the damage statistic is combined.
• No Amount Healed for this power - The log message for healing that is generated for this power does not identify the power used, and is used by several powers. HeroStats can add this to the total amount healed, but cannot assign the amount to a specific power.
• No Power Accuracy or Damage Statistic - The game client does not generate a log message when the power hits or misses a target. Without the log message, HeroStats cannot track either the power's damage or accuracy (in the Power Accuracy section).
• No Power Accuracy due to no Hit Message - The game client does not generate a log message when the power hits a target, and multiple hits are possible. Without the log message, HeroStats cannot track the power's accuracy in the Power Accuracy section.
• No Power Accuracy due to Identical Hit Messages - This power can hit multiple targets, and has multiple hit messages that are identical, rather than having a different message for hits after the first (i.e. “deals an additional100 damage”). HeroStats can't count accuracy in the Power Accuracy section based on the hit messages, because we'd count too many hits. We also can't simply divide by the number of extra hits, because sometimes you only see one message (when the enemy is defeated by the first hit). And because multiple targets might be hit, we can't assume there's only one hit each time the power is activated.
• No Player Accuracy due to no Hit Message - The game client does not generate a hit-miss log message when the power hits a target. Without the log message, HeroStats cannot track the power's accuracy in the Player Accuracy section.

For some powers, it is possible to track proper statistics in HeroStats, but the log messages still contain errors or inconsistencies. These powers are listed below. None of these should affect HeroStats users directly, but they are listed here for completeness.

The following section contains detailed information about issues that do not prevent HeroStats from tracking statistics.

• Multiple Identical Hit Messages - This power has multiple hit messages that are identical, rather than having a different message for hits after the first (i.e. “deals an additional100 damage”). HeroStats can't count accuracy based on the hit messages, because we'd count too many hits. We also can't simply divide by the number of extra hits, because sometimes you only see one message (when the enemy is defeated by the first hit). Instead, we assume that each activation is a hit, and remove that hit if a miss is later detected.
• No Hit Message for Single Target Power - This power has no hit message, so accuracy cannot be tracked normally. Instead, we assume that each activation is a hit, and remove that hit if a miss is later detected.
• Hit Messages are Identical Except for Damage Type - This power has two different messages that are identical except for damage type for every hit, rather than having a different secondary damage type message (i.e. “deals an additional 100 damage”).
• No Power Name in the Hit Message - This power does not include the power name in its hit message. This makes it difficult to track other powers that have similar messages but do include the power name.
• Wrong Power Name in the Hit Message - The hit message for this power has the wrong power name. We can still track the correct power based on the activation message.
• No Buff Message - This power provides a buff, but does not have a buff message. HeroStats can still track the buff using the activation message.
• No Damage Type in the Hit Message - The hit message for this power does not contain the damage type. We can still infer the correct damage type based on the power name.
