Woot Loot Alpha Version 0.0002
This is the beginning of a powerful tool that helps you decide what gear is best for your characters.
This is still a very early and limited version.
What it does:
Item tooltips will show you a simple x% upgrade or downgrade from the gear you currently have equipped.
If for some reason you can not mouse over an item to create a tooltip, you can see an item's upgrade score by typing /wootloot upgrade [item link]
You can see your Woot Loot weighted gear score by typing /wootloot gearscore
(This gear score does not match or compare with the GearScore add on or http://be.imba.hu or http://wow-heroes.com)
What it does not do (yet):
It should work out of the box. There is no customization. Unless you edit the code you can't change how it works.
Enchants, gems, spell procs, trinket use effects, etc. All of these are completely ignored.
Hit caps, defense caps, etc. If you are above your cap, item upgrade scores will not adjust; the value of gem sockets will also not adjust.
Meta gem sockets are currently valued the same as prismatic gem sockets.
Frost Death Knights and Feral Combat Druids are always assumed to be tanks.
Blood and Unholy Death Knights are always assumed to be DPS.
Your character's class and spec gets cached. If you switch spec, you will need to /reload ui
Changes in Version 0.0002
Armor and weapon proficiencies are taken into consideration. Example: Mages will not receive an upgrade score for mail armor or crossbows. Mages will receive an upgrade score for swords, even if they have not yet gone to a weapon trainer to learn the skill.
Gem sockets now have an appropriate value, except for meta gem sockets which are currently weighted equal to prismatic gem sockets.
Fixed bug preventing display of upgrade scores when you click on an item link in chat.
Removed the 0% upgrade scores from tooltips when you mouse over currently equipped items in the character window.
Fixed bug preventing Elemental Shamans and Arms Warriors from receiving upgrade scores.
Minor reorganization of internal data.
