  • About EquipEval
  •  

This is a World of Warcraft addon intended to help a player evaluate equipment and assist in selecting gear.

This addon will append values to the bottom of item tooltips to help you determine the worth of that item to your character. If an item does not have an effect on your character's DPS, Healing, or Time To Live; EquipEval will not append anything.

These values are calculated based on the item's bonuses, your character's current stats, your character's current talents, and the options selected. All models used for these calculations are written by Lerkur. All models are calculated at steady state.

By default, items will be compared against your current gear. This can be toggled in the options panel.

    Umm... It is telling me a healing off hand would increase my dps as a rogue over the badge fist offhand.

    5E/5KS using sinister strike.

    Even a Dagger is said to be higher dps as a combat fist rogue.

    I will be looking into this. Could you send me the name of your rogue and the realm you play on? Or could you confirm is your rogue's name begins with an S and is in a guild with the initials BoR?

    Do you consider the use of Devastate for warriors?

  • May 2, 2008, 06:52PM (2 months, 2 weeks ago)

    Very useful mod, thanks!

    One suggestion: I'd love to have the +/- values colour coded (like heal points, for example). Green for +, and red for -; it would make it faster to see if an item is better by just glancing at the colour. This is something I appreciate about heal points when I'm scanning the AH for upgrades.

    Thank you for the bug report. I'll look at correcting this behavior.

    I have a couple things to ask you to try first. When you upgraded, did you delete the old EquipEval folder and then add the new one? Or did you just copy the files over and replace the old ones? Does this error fire once upon logon, or many times? Does the addon still function after you clear this error, or does it prevent the addon from working?

  • March 3, 2008, 10:26PM (4 months, 2 weeks ago)

    Excellent mod. Curious though as its clearly making use of the Ace Libraries why there doesn't seem to be a version hosted on the wowace.com svn so that updates can be done simply by clicking a button on WowAceUpdater?

  • Feb. 28, 2008, 04:40PM (4 months, 3 weeks ago)

    I like this mod a lot. But it still has a bug. I was using 0.9.9, i put in ver 1.0. here's my problem: it seems to work with my warrior and with my rogue. but on my warlock, it does not show anything at all.*** i've tried adjusting the options, still nothing. on my mage, i think it displays some, but not all dps/ttl/mit stats on items. on my druid, i think it works on most equipment. I really hope you can fix this bug. keep up the good work.

    Thanks for the report. Hopefully I will have this corrected for the next version.

  • Feb. 4, 2008, 03:51AM (5 months, 2 weeks ago)

    What does the TTL % on the tooltip mean?

  • Feb. 4, 2008, 09:35PM (5 months, 2 weeks ago)

    TTL stand for Time To Live. This represents how long you will live when taking melee DPS. It's a combination of armor, avoidance, defensive talents, and stamina.

  • Jan. 29, 2008, 09:44PM (5 months, 3 weeks ago)

    This is a huge help. One problem is that for some of my characters, it does not function. And I can't seem to get it to turn on for them.

  • Jan. 31, 2008, 07:01PM (5 months, 2 weeks ago)

    What characters does it work for and what characters does it not work for?

    Information such as level and spec are helpful.

  • Jan. 19, 2008, 10:52PM (6 months ago)

    This mod has potential, but like so many mods out there, documentation lacks and the precise function of some options can only be guessed (even with the tooltips!).

    What for example would be some logical settings to use for druids, priests, shamans, paladins? The calculations are only as accurate as the options you set, set the wrong options and you get a wrong outcome.

    If you don't know what options to set, these sort of tools become somewhat useless.

  • Jan. 24, 2008, 03:44PM (5 months, 3 weeks ago)

    I'm working on documentation for the options panel and for some of the hidden options for the 1.0 release.

    Appropriate settings are hard for me to recommend to you. They depend very much on what it is you plan to do with the classes you mentioned. Healing settings are especially finicky because healing situations are varied. Healing a raid is different compared to a 5 man, BG, arena, or the healing you do while leveling.

    The classes you listed are all hybrids as well, so I'm not sure what aspect of their play you are interested in. Hopefully the documentation I am working on will be of assistance to you.

    v0.9.6 hasn't changed in regards to the massive CPU/sec it uses when mousing over an item...and a comparison tooltip shows up.

    I use the efficient tekKompare for hover comparison tooltips. Mouse over an item that you don't have equipped (for instance a wand and your wand slot is empty) and EquipEval has no issues. Mouse over an item for which you do have a different (or same) one equipped and CPU usage shoots up even higher than previously recorded: 70-80 CPU/sec.

    Hope this can be resolved soon.

  • Dec. 30, 2007, 03:54PM (6 months, 3 weeks ago)

    Submit a ticket with your issue.

  • Jan. 8, 2008, 04:17PM (6 months, 1 week ago)

    And you are...who exactly? Not the author.

    Look forward to trying out the recently released v0.9.7 to see if the tooltip recalc/redraw changes have improved the issue.

  • Dec. 21, 2007, 12:37AM (7 months ago)

    EquipEval 0.9.5, standalone Ace2 libraries (instead of embedded) used.

    Interesting so far. But a serious problem, which appears to be commonplace with tooltip mods like this that aren't coded to avoid the problem.

    This uses an incredible amount of CPU time when you mouse over a weapon in your packs, person, AH and so on. Causing the surrounding video area being rendered to slow down and stutter until you stop showing the tooltip. Measured with the OptionHouse mod (on http://www.wowinterface.com ), mousing over items causes CPU/sec to reach 58-62. Which is at the top of my mods list.

    Some other other tooltip information mods had this same issue before they were changed to remove the problem (GearDPS, WhoHas, etc.). Its good that this uses no CPU (or memory) when idle, but it really needs to stop eating CPU like it was going out of style when an item tooltip comes up :).
