NEWS

v1.3.0: Incorporated a more comprehensive approach to default profiles.

If you wish to use the new default profiles, you can flush your profiles and get all the new default profiles by typing

/consider resetall


and then visit the bank to rescan all your items. Remember to set your active profiles again in the options. This will also destroy any custom profile changes.

v1.2.0: Performance enhancement to improve framerates in certain situations.
v1.1.0: Added checkbox for "Use Epic Gems?" in Considerater option panel. When toggled, Considerater will fill in the top-scoring epic gems where applicable.

Upgrading users are advised to type "/consider refresh" and visit their bank to re-score their items.

Considerater

An add-on that considers an item against all the items you have to determine whether or not it is an upgrade. Scores are computed for an item based on profiles which weight each stat according to relative importance.

There are many pre-defined profiles, which can be edited, or you can create a new one. To avoid taking up too much compute time, only "Active Profiles" will be used for scoring. See the Add-on Interface Options panel for all these details.

Considerater will scan your bank, bags, and inventory whenever you open your bank frame. So if it is your first time loading it, be sure to get to the bank to fill up your item cache.

Considerater will automatically determine the best gem choices according to each profile and will score items as if they had those gems inserted. This should make comparisons between pieces of gemmed and ungemmed gear relatively fair.

Type "/consider help" in game to see the command-line options.

Type "/consider" alone to bring up the Considerater graphical user-interface for comparing items.

Type "/consider [link]" with an item linked to add that item to the list of items considered by the graphical user-interface.

The idea for this add-on came about when I started re-specing my character on a nearly daily basis between four different playstyles. Each requires different sets of gear, and it was getting difficult to remember what I had in my bank and what was considered better for each spec. I relied on the useful website LootRank.com, but I needed something that would be able to quickly make comparisons on the spot, and only with the gear I had or was considering. So, I would consider this add-on to be a combination of ideas from LootRank.com and add-ons like BankItems.

    Wowhead finally updated their stat weights so I am working on a new release with reforging support. I've also been working on a separate program to help manage profiles out of game, and it has SimulationCraft integration.

    See http://github.com/catamorfizm/considergui Downloads.

    were you going to get back to updating this addon at somepoint?

  • #94
    Thanks for what sounds like a considerable amount of effort in updating this addon. If there's anything we users can do to help, let us know!
  • #95
    I guess that means people are finding their way to the alpha version. Right now the main showstopper is finding a reliable source of reasonable stat weightings for different profiles. There does not seem to be any consensus at the moment. The Wowhead weightings are definitely out-of-whack. I don't think SimulationCraft is finished on all classes just yet. Anyway I am hoping that there will be something out by early next year.
  • #89
    any chance this add on be updated to patch 4.0?
    i like to use it to equip in banck, even its laggy
    could have some load on demand ?
    thanks for the work shared.

    The main issue is not with UI compatibility but with the changes to the way stats work in the game.

    I have to rebalance all the profiles.

    Not sure when I'll have this done, sorry.
  • #91
    WoWHead has some decent stats that can act as a baseline, if need be. I think the major issue for me is that the addon needs to work, then we can go in and tweak what we want, stats-wise.
  • #93
    I should also point out that WoWHead's stat weightings are woefully out of whack. Just taking a look at a few examples, they vastly underrate INT for casters, they vastly overrate Mastery for just about everyone. SPI doesn't belong on pure damage caster gear anymore, but it's still in the stat weights. It looks to me as if they took the old weights and just added "Mastery: 100" to all of them. Ugly.

    I fixed up the errors in the alpha versions of Considerater but I still need to find a source of stat weights that is reliable and I still need to fix gems and consider reforging. And right now I'm not even sure there is a consensus on stat weights for any particular level of gear.
  • #92
    I've been looking into some sources of stat weightings such as SimulationCraft, that might provide a more comprehensive and automatic mechanism.

    A bunch of things have changed with the dependencies so it's a bit of a mess sorting it out, and I haven't had much time lately. I also need to update the whole Gem database since that has changed. And I need to figure out how reforging affects the algorithm, if at all.
  • #87
    This makes my game a bit laggy when buying regents and overall, i have only had addon enabled in dalaran.

    However I do like the idea, but I am missing a option to show score in tooltip of every equipment item, not just the best ones, so i can compare.
  • #85
    I continually get LUA errors when I do just about anything (moving an item to a different bag slot, creating an item, etc.) Is anyone else experiencing this behavior? I just upgraded from 1.1.0.
  • #86
    I get the following (as an example): Then I can't do anything as it's busy working in the background...

    Sounds like you need to do a /consider refresh. Best to do this while your bank frame is open.

    Sorry I didn't see this message earlier, for some reason it did not find its way into my e-mail box.
  • #84
    I have not had any issues with 1.2.0 today testing on patch 3.3. Hopefully the cached tooltip info will help with performance, too.
  • #82
    I have isolated this add-on to a MASSIVE slow down in fights. It causes massive throttling in between every shot, as if it the fight starts @ 60FPS, you go to shoot, MASSIVE drop to maybe 15FPS, then it speeds up again to 60FPS, you go to shoot again it drops etc...

    100% replicable. Turn Considereter off, it stops. Turn it on, it starts. Unfortunately, I can't use this add-on until it's fixed. I think it might be related to using the new Epic Gems options? Maybe?
