Suggestion: DPS Counter

Hello!

I think we can agree that tooltip DPS, although helpful, is not a 100% accurate tool for seeing how much DPS our characters put out. It's great for comparing different versions of the same build, but it can't quite give us useful numbers when comparing builds that work on different mechanics. The obvious example being that it can't show us how effective reductions in enemy resistances are.

I remember from my time playing Terraria one of my favorite items, called the DPS meter, which brilliantly and simply solves the problem of showing accurate DPS numbers in a game of complicated mechanics. Simply put, all it does it literally record the amount of damage you've done over the past second and show you.

Here's a random video I just found to showcase how it works:

Of course in POE it doesn't have to be an equippable item or anything--I imagine it would work well as a simple yes/no option that could be disabled by default.

To take it further, I think it'd be pretty cool if it also kept track of the highest DPS number you've reached on your character so that you could pull it up and brag about it, maybe with a chat command. And who knows--maybe some Achievements could be tied to reaching a DPS threshold?

Another thing Terraria does well to synergize with the DPS meter is to allow you to create and place Target Dummies, which sustain damage but are indestructible. That way you can easily test your DPS against single targets or multiple. I imagine having purchasable dummies like this for your Hideout in POE would be a great way to test your DPS in multiple ways, but in a safe area.

That's all I got--thanks for reading! If a dev reads this, please let me say thank you for making such a great game!
