Standard Tooltip

GearDPS adds a DPS value to item tooltips based on weight given to each stat. Basically, the higher the number, the better that piece of gear is for pure DPS. Note that by default this doesn't take survivability into account, it's just for sheer DPS. Custom weights can be given to all stats, including stam, spirit, and MP5. Any user specified weights will override the ones used by GearDPS.

GearDPS now supports all classes/specs. This was made possible because I scrapped the whole idea of dynamically calculating stat weights. The way I was doing it before was too simplistic to do much good, so I've just hard coded some (somewhat) reasonable defaults in for each class/spec. Most of the default numbers are just the item budget weights for right now, input on good default values for various classes/specs is welcome.

If you encounter problems, I'd appreciate it if you let me know about it. You can send an email to kbranch38@gmail.com, or just leave a comment here.

    Someone please take this over and do a rebuild or continue project. This was a great add-on but since the last update I am always getting errors from it. I tried to do the fix someone already posted but I either messed it up or I just don't understand the fix.

    I did find an add-on similar to this one, Athene's Upgrade Estimator. it works ok, but i like GearDPS better, when it was working that is.

    I was able to fix this, you need to make changes in two different places:

    Change the start of this function to this:

    function GearDPS.modifyTooltip(tooltip, name, item)
    --print("Entering ModifyTooltip");


    if GearDPS.Class == "Unknown" then
    --print("Detecting new class");
    GearDPS:DetectClass();

    GearDPS:RedoCalcs();
    end

    if not item or GearDPS.Class == "Unknown" then
    --print("Class was unknown");
    return
    end

    and change the line in function GearDPS:DetectClass() to this:
    if not(GearDPS.spec[1] == 0 and GearDPS.spec[2] == 0 and GearDPS.spec[3] == 0) then
    local playerClass, _ = UnitClass("player");

    if playerClass == "Hunter" or playerClass == "Rogue" or playerClass == "Warrior" or playerClass == "Mage" or playerClass == "Priest" or playerClass == "Warlock" or playerClass == "Death Knight" then

    That should get this working again.

    forgot to add, for all the other playerClass compares, change them to the format of "Warlock" instead of "WARLOCK"

    is there somewhere i can go to find weight values for different classes? so far ive only found one for shadow priests (which was more accurate than the default btw) and was wondering if anyone knows where i can find weights for other classes/specs

    How I fixed it for 3.1:

    1. In "\Interface\AddOns\GearDPS\libs", replace abandoned and outdated library "StatLogic-1.0" with "LibStatLogic-1.1"(get it from wowace.com)
    2. Edit file Core.lua at line 38 replace string "StatLogic-1.0" with "LibStatLogic-1.1"

    Now it works perfectly :D
    I hope it helps.

    Uh wrong. Totally and completely wrong.

    GearDPS .77b does _not_ have "StatLogic-1.0" at line 38 of core.lua.

    The places where "StatLogic" is referenced in that file are lines 5, 13, 347, 348, 355, 358, 499, 558 & 583 (using a text editor that shows line numbers properly, like the free Notepad2).

    A further problem is that line 13 is "StatLogic = AceLibrary("StatLogic-1.0");" Only problem is, the updated LibStatLogic-1.1 no longer uses AceLibrary, it loads via LibStub. So your modifcation--even if it did reference the proper line number(s)--wouldn't work anyway.

    Not to mention, I have tested other mods here that use the old StatLogic-1.0 and work just fine (even if the data is outdated), such as TankTotals & FuBar_AbramsFu.

    So far more extensive changes are required for GearDPS the start displaying tooltip info properly again in WoW 3.1.x.

    great mod. any plans to update it for 3.1?

    GearDPS .77b tool-tip is not displaying on my gear(even when i set manual values). I've tried it on a few different classes & have had the same results. (I checked to make sure all other addons turned off so there were no conflicts)

    *But GearDPS .76b gives me no problems & the tool-tip works.
    I really like this mod, is there something i need to be doing in order for the .77b to work correctly?
