GearScore

New GearScore 3.1.13! This is the new super awsome GearScore addon. If you want to see a video on how to use it watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7myQErCJDTg

This new version doesn't work with non-US localizations but I promise I'm going to re-write it to fix this as soon as I can. I plan to have EVERYTHING translated as much as I can so I'll have to go back.

Lastly, I'll be re-writing this "Description" later.

IMPORTANT! - To use the new features you must TARGET a player while they are in inspection range. This is a limitation on the API. In order to view your own information you must Target yourself.

What is GearScore?

GearScore is an addon for World of Warcraft that allows you to quickly and easily judge a player's level of Gear. Simply mouse-over any player in the game and their GearScore will appear in their tooltip. No need to visit the armory!
GearScore represents the maximum potential for a player to perform. The higher your GearScore the higher your potential to heal/dps/tank. Remember however, that is is up to the player's skill to match that potential.
GearScoreAddon Official Website: http://www.GearScoreAddon.com
(Get the latest news, updates, info about upcoming features and of course download the newest beta versions!)
Use " /GS " to open your new UI.
For a slimmed down version with minimal system impact check out GearScoreLite

How does GearScore Work?

Whenever you mouseover a player in the game GearScore will scan that player's gear and calculate a score. The scores are based on how blizzard assigns stats to an item and take in account ilevel, rarity, and equipment slot location. Scores scale smoothly as player's level up and obtain new items.
Everyone who uses the mod shares information about the scores they scan allowing you to search for player's you've never even seen before.

What are GearScore's features?

Instant Score Calculation - Scores are calculated instantly whenever you mouse over any player in the game as long as they are within inspect range.
In-Game Armory - Allows you to view any player in your database's equipment and GearScore
Database - Scores are remembered so that the next time you see a player you will know their score, even if they are in a completely different zone. The database feature also allows you to manually look up a player anytime you want 1000 faster then the armory.
Communication - Whenever you scan a GearScore of a player you also share that score with everyone in your party or raid and everyone in your guild. This is very similar to how Gatherer works in sharing resource nodes.
Average iLevel - With this feature you can also see the average item level of a player. This is perfect for such things as Ulduar vehicle assignment and upcoming changes to drakes in 3.2
Master Loot Upgrade Mode - This mode is an excellent way to assist your raid in increasing their overall level of gear as quick as possible. Whenever you mouse over an item the tooltip will show how much of an upgrade in GearScore that item is for each person in your raid that can equip that item. Prefect for loot-council type raiding guilds and also excellent for leveling characters in helping to choose which item to pick from quest rewards.
Reporting - GearScore also allows you to post the GearScores of player's in your raid/party into chat. GearScore even has integration with Recount to allow you to see a graphical representation of your raid's GearScores.

How does GearScore compare to 'ratings' websites?

I started working on GearScore before I even knew of WoW-heroes or IMBA. I'm not sure how IMBA calculates its scores but WoW-Heroes scores are always about 1/2 of GearScore's scores. Many people ask me to simply use the same formula these websites do. There are a few problems with that. The first is I don't wish to steal a formula from a website and brand it as inline with their scores. Those sites make $$ from advertisers and if I steal their work I'm also stealing their money. Another problem with this is that the armory gives these websites more information then my mod, therefore they are able to take into account additional factors when calculating scores.

ZOMFG!!! GEAR DOESN'T EQUAL SKILL!!?

I agree completely. However many players like to PUG. When you pug your forced to invite people you don't know. A really sucky player with high GearScore will do more dps then a really sucky player with low GearScore. PUGs dont have time for guild-type interviews each time they invite a player to their raid. PUGs usually have no idea of the skill a player has. So PUGs are forced to use the only factor they know, your quality of Gear. If you don't like this style of gaming I recommend joining a guild where nobody cares what your GearScore is.
That being said, GearScore 3.x has new features that allow players to make smarter choices instead of simply dismissing you if your not at a bare minimum. The color chart for instances is colored from red to green to represent the difficulty a player might have in a particular instance. The in-game-armory function lets you see if a person's GearScore is low because perhaps they are in PvP gear or wearing a Lance and overall helps you make a more informed decision.

How can I contribute?

Feedback - I'm constantly looking for ways to improve my mod. So if you have any comments or suggestions please leave them here. If you don't have a curse account you can leave feedback on the official website http://www.GearScoreAddon.com where you do not need to register to leave comments on the feedback page.
Download the beta version - and help me test upcoming and new features. Beta versions may contain bugs and I need help to find these.
Donate - Your donations help pay for this website and allow me to work less and keep programing on GearScore. As a bonus feature if you donate make sure to give me the name and server of your character and in the next update your character will have the special line "Official Supporter of GearScore" added to the tooltip of your player whenever somebody mouses over you.

-- Fixed Spelling Errors in RecountGearScore Toc File.
-- Fixed Several Inspection Errors
-- Added more base code for upcoming Settings Modual
-- Created Temporary Fix for New Non-Instant Information

--Version 1.0.00--
*Complete rewrite of all the code.

--Version 0.9.00--
*Added Reports - Use "/gsparty", or "/gsraid", or "/gsbattleground" to report to said group the GearScores of everyone within' range. And also reports the Group Average.

--Version 0.8.04--
*Fixed Error where mod attempted to talk to players on other realms (In Battlegrounds)

--Version 0.8.03 --
*Added Color to GearScore Ratings. The Colors go from Grey to White to Green to Blue to Purple to Orange as your GearScore increases. (Just as your real gear does)
*Fixed Communication Bugs.

--Version 0.8.02--
*Fixed a bug caused by the "fixing of a bug" in Version 0.8.01 I'm really sorry about this one!

--Version 0.8.01--
*Fixed bug where mod attempted to send Alliance Player's AddonMessages.

--Version 0.8.00--
*Big Upgrade here! Rewrote alot of the code. Tons of Changes.
*Trinkets and Relics have been equalized. Before their sometimes odd stats (Such as Use: +40 spell powerfor 10seconds) wouldn't be counted. White Trinkets/Relics will have no scores, and neither will Talismans of the Horde. (Until PvP Update). Trinket Scores are inline with Ring Scores and Relic Scores are inline with Ranged Weapon scores.

*PvP Mode has been disabled, the scores were confusing ppl, so until I come up with PvP Gear Equilization you will only see their PvE Score (Including Resilience). This means a Fully equiped T7 = a Fully PvP Equiped T7 (For Now)
Mod Communication has been enabled, now if the person you mouseover (Including ppl in PartyFrames) have this mod as well, you will be able to see their GearScore and Talents. (Their copy of the mod will transmit this information to you.

*AutoUpdateNotice. Will automatically alert you (Once per session) if there is an update to this mod available. Update notices come from other players.
TipTac Support, Incrased Support for TipTac, seems to work way better then before in most situations. I've contacted TipTac Author in an effort to increase compatability.

*Repaired the Inspect Bug. Now while manually inspecting a player you will ALWAYS see their items, regardless if they were the last player moused over or not.

--Version 0.7.05-- Fixed a math error where it was multipling the dps of a 2h before it should have. This was causing a bug in values of 2h weapons. Thanks to User "Keightie" of Detheroc for pointing this out to me. Also added PVP scores if the player is wearing any PVP Gear. Alos made it so people wearing "Grey" items dont cause a negitive GearScore. The New minimum is 0. Also fixed issue where manually inspecting player's gear would cause bad gear items to show. This will now only occur if you continue to look at their items while they are out of range. Last but not Least, Hopefully (untested) fixed compatibility issues with TinyTIp and TipTac. --Please let me know!

Version 0.7.00 - Complete overhaul of the code, individual functions have been split into multiple seperate function. Because of this, all Variables must be declared as global variables. I have renamed all of them to prevent issues withother addons. In addition the code has been altered to only scan a target once... before when you held the mouse cursor over a player it would constantly scan that player severely dropping CPU performance. This issue has been resolved.

Version 0.6.02 - Fixed a small bug while inspect players.

Version 0.6.01 - Changed the Melee/Caster Equilization Code to simply subtract the extra points that caster weapons grant. This is more

inline with the actual method that blizzard uses for stat point allocations. This will mean that the same scaling before this update will remain.
The code to obtain GearDPS from an item was written by Recompense, of Uldum (Horde).

Version 0.6.00 - Was able to obtain dps information from BonusScanner thanks to Tristanian. Melee classes and casters should now have

about equal gear ratings. Please note: that with this change ALL Classes will gain anywhere up to 1000 score higher then they had before,

creating a new gradient in which to judge people on. Also, this makes the weapon the most powerful item in the game (As it should be)

RosyBijou A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 12 File comments: 36 Uploads: 3	GS/Recount I love your addon and recent changes. Two requests... 1. I miss having the simple gear score pane in Recount. As a dual spec (holy/disc) healer, I used that pane at the beginning of instances to help in deciding which spec may be better suited to healing random groups/raids. Is that a setting that I am missing, to have that simple gear score pane brought back into Recount or was it removed in lieu of the performance/gs pane? If it was removed, would you consider bringing it back? (I like the performance/gs too, but miss having just the rote GS to refer to before folks start "performing"...) 2. I was wondering if it would be possible to add absorbs from shields and divine aegis into that healing performance score... When I run in my disc spec, I see low heals/sec as a consequence/indicator of my mitigation--something that is somewhat validated by the GuessedAbsorbs module for Recount... BUT, because many folks don't have that module and don't really understand the disc premise, AND, because so many are running GS & Recount together, it'd be nice to have some credit for decent performance validated in that healing performance pane...

Are there any useful enchantments for bows that are viable for melee classes?

Yep, that's what i'm doing.
But it not bother me, it deny me to play game. That simple.

How is this GearScore's problem? What is stopping them from inspecting you or looking at the Armory to come to that same conclusion? Regardless of what you know you can do, if the group leader concludes you can't do it, be it through GS or other means, then you're not doing it in their group.

I agree that it's not made to be used in a guild situation. However, I wouldn't call it an entirely false statement since I could see it being used creatively in that environment. For instance, I could see it being useful when determining who to run and where to start when gearing members.

I see plenty of people looking for groups in General, Trade, and LFG channels. All GS does it make it easier for you to determine how much you may have to carry certain members. Besides, Dungeon Finder is doing the same thing that a leader using GS is doing: denying you based on a score. The difference is that the score is based on what Blizzard says is needed to enter H HoR.

I never ever allow addon to make assumption for myself.
If I see something that I'm not pleased with, I open inspect tab and take a first-hand look at it. Often it's good set, carefully tied together, that is hard to replace without a certain drawback.

It's great that you do this. GS is simply one of a number of tools to help with coming to those conclusions. A mechanic doesn't just use one tool to diagnose and fix a car so why should a group leader be limited in their tools?

Sadly, these are 90% of wow players...

For me, I don't make my decisions based on what a single add on may tell me. I personally use GS as an indicator of how much the group may have to carry that player. I'm not going to deny or kick someone based on a score if they show they are putting forth an effort. I will kick them if they think they are going to get a free ride.

This problem isn't going to be solved by getting rid of GS as it's a people problem. You take GS away and they'll continue doing the same thing. If it bothers you that much then don't use GS and don't group with people who determine worthiness solely through GS.

But you don't have 2 players, do you? Well, you probably do, but for my realm it's not true.

And I can assure you it's not possible to determine a difference between raidhealing specced shammy and MT healing specced shammy from the point of "better" view without asking. Glyphs not available to inspect, and gear is heavily dependednt on intended spec.

Comparing a well-geared, but crappy player, to an OK-geared, excellent player is an obvious apples-oranges argument.

You're making a false statement. Good player will always have sufficient gear, or not attempt to jump into encounter he/she know they are not up to.
It's eiter well-geared retard or moderately geared good player.
I have DK tank, that is PROBABLY up to tanking heroics. I've started to tank HC's on my pally in similar gear, but judging from my experience with DK, she's probably won't stand a chance in said HoL heroic (which my pally tanked easy, even made an achi on first boss from DPS mispull).

Before it simply seemed like you were taking an average item level of each slot, and then passing out a score for each. Now this addon helps make sure no one is equipping high item level healing trinkets, when they are asking for a dps spot. You can also quickly see how experienced each player is (how far they have progressed in each instance, how many times they have killed each boss, etc), with the clean layout on the experience tab. Im sure there will still be many complaints about Gear Score, but this was definitely a step in the right direction. You are not simply making a guess at how experienced a player is based on the item level of their gear, you can actually see what they have completed quickly and easily. Alts will still be likely be upset until they actually get a few clears in each instance on their alts, but for the most part, not much to complain about. Feature Request.... ability to right click on someone portrait and select "See Gear Score", instead of always targeting and typing out /gs

I know this has been said b4 but, the ppl in pugs who are going to complain can do so with just a quick glance at an inspect anyway. So what will this addon on save them, 15 seconds per person. You really think those ppl will stop being jerks without this addon. (that's a rhetorical question) btw: just had a group the other day with GS high 4800 to over 5000. We brought down the group trash in about 12 seconds per group. The leader (the one over 5k pally tank) said "you dps need to up your damage." lol Last edited by blankStare : 01-24-2010 at 09:17 PM.
