StatScore

About StatScore:

All item comparison addons provide you with a different way of measuring gear upgrades. Most of which will tell you that an epic that just dropped is a huge upgrade for you. But after taking a second look at it you find that even though it has a higher item level, it does NOT have the right stats for your paticular class/spec.

StatScore is different. It uses weight tables to analyze which stats are best for you, and which aren't. Using the same calculation methods that Wowhead uses, it will take each stat on the currently shown item, multiply it by its weight value (specific for your class/spec) and add it for its total value. It is then normalized by deviding by the total value of all weights. After all the math is done StatScore will insert the value at the bottom of any equipable item tooltip along with a comparison or off-spec value if applicable.

All you have to do is type /StatScore and select the profile that best describes your character and StatScore will do the rest.

Confused by the math? See the screenshots to the right to see how the profiles affect each class's score or Read Wowheads FAQ about Stat Weighting.

Current Features:

Includes 29 Preset stat profiles that are used in Wowheads own Stat Comparison Tool
Adds the Stat Score value to equipable item tooltips
Displays a 'Swap Score' when comparing items, showing an upgrade value
Stat Profiles are saved across sessions so you can set it and forget it
Automatically switches between set profile when activating Dual-Spec
Shows Offspec StatScore
Externally Available Functions (for developer use)

Requirements:

Must select a profile before StatScore can begin calculating

Slash Commands:

/StatScore (opens the options panel, where you can select a stat profile)
/StatScore dump (shows how the last item's StatScore was calculated)
/StatScore dump raw (shows how the last item's StatScore was calculated with the original variable names)
/StatScore reset (resets all settings)

I wrote up an FAQ that might help you out.
Basically you can do /StatScore Dump Raw to see what stats you can put weights on for an item and edit the database in StatScore.lua

It's cool et all, but how to adjust profile?
I absolutely do not need to overrate hit when i'm already way past hit cap, as a simple example.
I really like RatingBuster approach much more - you copy a given preset, then you adjust it to your liking.

And... is it possible to retrieve weapon DPS? One of the most valuable stats for melee DPS classes.

Also... it would be pretty good if it wouldn't show counterintuitive SwapScores.
Just place relative value next to calculated score, like

Quote:

MS Score: XX.X (+XX)
OS Score: YY.Y (-YY)

that'll be enough and much more understandable.

I could add a socket to Sash of Potent Incantations (just like I did to Sash of Ancient Power), but that still leaves me 16 Spell Power short of Sash of Ancient Power, and the 40 crit and 60 spirit are not better than 49 haste and 43 hit.

My point being, you can match enchants on a piece of gear, but you can't always match gems. Counting the number of sockets and checking what gems people are currently using to determine what they might put in the new gear could be an annoying and troublesome thing to code, but adding the values of gems to the current calculations doesn't seem like a bad idea to me. Adding an option to pick what gems you'd want to put in a socket (a la Rating Buster) could be a simpler way to offset the problem, but it's all up to you. I just think it's weird when I look at something that StatScore tells me is a huge upgrade and then I look a little closer and realize it's not nearly as good.

Rating Buster gives you an option to test socket or something? It never gave me that option so I either had it set up wrong, or it wasn't working for me. By the way, I love this add-on! I am a little confused though. I set it up on my main spec and then when I switched it wouldn't give me the off-spec values, so I went in and clicked on my off-spec. Now it shows up as my spec and my main spec shows up as my off-spec. I tried re-clicking when I switched back to my main spec, but it didn't change. What did I do wrong?

You're right. I will eventually be adding support for gems but I have a few bugs I need to fix across all my addons before I can begin working on new features.

If it does, re-enable half of your addons at a time until you are able to isolate which one is causing the problem.

If you are able to find out which one is causing the problem please post again to let me know.
Also, I am kind of curious to see what you UI is doing currently.
I would be interested if you could provide a screenshot of the problem you are having.

Another user also had a similar issue as you and was able to provide this information when they got it resolved:

The swap score is the difference in scores between what you are currently looking at and what is currently equiped. At the moment I don't know of any way to get it to compare against something in your inventory.
