It would be nice to have an option (or just reduce) the number of tooltip updates (redraws/repaints) that are needed to update the item level. It causes a lot of "flashing" when I hover over players in a raid and spins through a percent complete thing. The percent complete isn't all that useful to me to be honest. I would suggest just an "in progress" status and then the final gear item level or an "incomplete" status for errors. Saves a lot of window/frame/tooltip redraws.

Thanks! It shouldn't need to redraw the whole tooltip to update one line of text, I'll see if I can track down what's causing that.

I had this happen last night. It seems to be triggered by offline players. The addon tries to inspect the player, it adds a line then spins through 0% to 100%, and then removes the line again. I think the "flickering" was when it was adding and removing the line for the gear score (I want to say it was at the bottom of the tooltip).

Which part of the tooltip is flashing? Are you running any other tooltip addons?

I have addons that append to the tooltip (e.g. TMS), but I'm not running TipTac or anything like that. This is the only gear item level addon that I have.

The tooltip window itself flashes as its updating the percent complete.
