Yea I was wondering if there is an addon on here that can count how many seconds, minutes, possibly even hours a player has been in combat.

It doesn't have to save the info. Its just to track how fast my paladin is able to handle one two or multiple foes. And I'm asking here because every logical search term I've tried for it (i.e. combat, battle, timer) came up null.

a quick Google search found me this: http://www.alladdon.com/addons/wow-59.html

is that similar to what you had in mind?

yes... I forgot to google search it but... yes that is it entirely.
