WoWEquip

From WowAce Wiki

WoWEquip is an addon written by me in order to let people try on different gear and see their total stats and their differences when compared to something else, typically another set of gear.

In short, an ingame CT-Profiles addon with some stats comparison to allow profile comparisons.

To use the addon after it is installed, use /wowequip to open the window. Alternatively, you can also open WoWEquip from the Dressing Room or the default UI's inspect window when you inspect others.

To change gear, left click on an equipment slot, and search/select from the search results in the bottom right. You can also send any item to the Dressing Room (ctrl-click a link/item) to try it on in WoWEquip when the WoWEquip window is open. To change the enchant/gems on that gear, right click on an equipment slot and find the enchant/gem you want in the menus.

Note that WoWEquip does not maintain any sort of item database, it only searches the items that exist in your local cache (items you have seen before since the last WoW patch), so if you can't find an item, get someone to link it to you or use Sniff or AtlasLoot Enhanced or something.

The F and S buttons provides some simple Filtering and Sorting options. The % button toggles between showing ratings and percentages in the Summary. The C button lets you choose what to compare the current equipment profile to, either to your currently equipped gear, or to an existing saved equipment profile.

The Copy Target button (the same button exists in the default Inspect UI window) allows you to copy a person's gear and see his equipment stats in WoWEquip as well as some Derived Stats when you scroll down. (Derived Stats meaning your total crit% gained from both agi and crit rating, etc from the gear.) There's a keybind you can add to inspect someone and you can quickly copy someone's gear and save his equipped profile to compare stats later.

You don't have to show the dressing room, I have merely attached the Dressing Room (currently fixed at 75% scaling) to the left of the WoWEquip window only when both are visible on screen at the same time.

Now What?

WoWEquip is still in beta.

In the process of coding WoWEquip and favouring to add more new features, there are currently no "validity checks" coded in to ensure that impossible combinations of gear/gems/enchants and talents/race/class do not occur. The user is expected to perform such checks himself.

Note that ONLY the statistics and bonuses gained from the gear is calculated. Base character stats such as Agi, Str, Sta and base derived stats such as parry, dodge and block are not included. This is to allow comparison from a pure equipment-gain-only point of view.

I plan to add some Race/Talents support for the Derived Stats calculation.
