ReforgeLite - WoW AddOns

Overview

ReforgeLite is a lightweight reforging calculator that helps you figure out the optimal strategy to reforge your gear given your stat weights and caps without leaving the game.

How to use it

To open the addon window, type /reforge or talk to the reforging master. On the left half of the window you can see your current item stats for reference.
On the right side you can set up stat weights/caps, or select an existing preset.
You can select up to two capped stats (e.g. hit rating and expertise rating). For each stat, you can select an arbitrary number of threshold values which change the weight of the stat once it passes this value. You can either set the threshold value manually, or use a preset (e.g. melee hit cap). You can also force the stat value to be above or below the treshold.

When you're done setting up weights/caps, press Calculate. The speed slider not only affects calculation speed, but most importantly, memory consumption. Unless you are using one capped stat and no spirit-to-hit conversion, the algorithm will run out of memory on speed 1. Increasing speed causes some precision loss, but the calculation can be re-run to try to obtain better results (when precision is lowered, the results are randomized slightly).

Once the calculation finishes, you will see a section with your stats after reforging, and the difference from your current stats. Click on the Show button to see which items should be reforged. Items that you have already reforged in the suggested way will have checks next to them; you can check some items manually if you do not wish to reforge them.
If the reforging UI is open, you can click on the Reforge button to automatically reforge all items in the selected way. Do not interfere in the process (clicking the cancel button or closing the reforging UI is fine).

Known issues

PvP: Currently there are no presets for PvP weights, I'll add them later on. To use the built-in cap presets like Melee hit cap for PvP, change target level in settings to 0 (settings are at the bottom of the scrollable area).
I'm getting wrong results: If you think the results you got are incorrect, first make sure the weights are set up correctly. E.g. if you set mastery higher than crit, don't be surprised that your items are reforged to mastery. If you still think something is wrong, click the Debug button at the bottom of settings, and e-mail the dump to me at d07.riv@gmail.com so I can find the problem.

The Night Elf extra 2% miss isn't being accounted for, because the UnitClass text is "NightElf" and not "NIGHTELF" (in 2 places).

@Pelf: yes, thanks, I noticed that. Should be easy to fix, just didn't see it as something serious)

@KyrosKrane: that's interesting, I'm not sure how I could fix that.. for now, I just let it run until it crashes, then catch the error. I really don't understand why blizzard can't sandbox addons properly to prevent client crashes.

@InfernoGuy87: sure, I usually update the presets every time I release a new version. Meanwhile, you could create your own preset or tweak the Presets.lua if you can understand what's going on in there.

@michaelselehov: unfortunately, its not possible to keep track of more than two non-linear stats with the approach I'm using, so you'll have to work around it. You could either manually reforge a few items with hit/exp, lock them (by clicking them in the big table on the left) and let the addon reforge the other items for avoidance cap; or you could enforce hit/exp caps while maximizing mastery, this will leave you with less dodge/parry, so it depends on what you're trying to reach.

@nefariouslover: I'm pretty sure they should be included in CTC calculation in the small list on the right, as long as you're using a tanking preset.

(Posting this here as well as on Curse, as I'm not sure where the proper place is for issue reports.)

It appears that the Debug button isn't actually inside the Settings collapsible region.

Interesting bug: with the 64-bit client, if you set the calculation speed to 1 (or another value that would cause the calculation to not complete), then try the calculation, the entire client crashes with a C++ error message. The error message has varied from crash to crash. I suspect this is actually a Blizzard bug in exception handling, rather than something in your addon, but it's still something for you to be aware of.

Greetings

Firstly I have to just say wow regarding your tanking reforging. I was initially going to ask why your addon was reforging me down to 14% dodge and 21% parry until I read comments on this page about the stacking dodge trinket and I just have to say wow really. Adding on that trinket to the calculations officially makes your addon too clever for its own good and was quite confusing till I caught onto it.

But onto something more constructive than geeking out. I notice your Unholy default isn't up to date now undervaluing crit and also Unholy now uses two different sets of weights depending on if you have the Deathwing 2h Sword. Would it be possible to have these updated?

I'm currently using http:elitistjerks.com/f72/t125292-unholy_dps_my_friend_misery_4_3_0_a/#Stat_Weights as my reference.

Duplicating my comment on curse.com:

I'd like to have an option to reforge my prot pallie into higher dps. It means after capping avoidance reforge all to exp/hit. Is it possible to add this option to the addon?

Thanks in advance!

Items like this:

Resolve of Undying Raid Finder Binds when picked up Unique-Equipped: Resolve of Undying (1) Trinket Classes: Warrior, Paladin, Death Knight, Druid Requires Level 85 Item Level 390 Equip: Your melee attacks grant 78 dodge rating for the next 10 sec, stacking up to 10 times.

Are not being counted in ReforgeLite as 780 dodge, when calculating CTC, as they should be.

Any insight?

Known bug, new bug, intentional functionality, or unintentional functionality?

@JStrese: Go

Why do you care about decimals? Multiply all your numbers by 100 (1000, 10000) and you get all integers. This has absolutely no effect on the result. Reason is simple - there is a "digits only" mode for edit boxes, but there is no "decimal numbers only".

Why exactly can we not use decimal points when inputting stat weights? This kind of makes this addon useless (at least to the higher end raiders, maybe this addon has its uses for casuals).
