RhadaTip (item comparisons and gear/gem optimizer)

[rhadamanthys]

RhadaTip is the most advanced in-game gear evaluator and optimizer, also coming with a built-in gem optimization tool and scales.
Here is what the addon is about:

1. Item V.S. Item comparisons (to know how much dps this new badge item will grant to you, how many dkp you should bid on this newly dropped raid loot, etc).
1. Item V.S. Item comes with an auto filling socket mechanism.
2. RhadaTip support trinkets comparisons.
2. Full gear evaluation, and projected full gear value (as the result of swapping the tooltipped item with the currently equipped item).
1. This means that the item comparison is always accurate. Limiting the scope of the comparison only to the two items themselves will produce highly inaccurate results (as a consequence of passing the hit cap, breaking a tier set bonus etc)
2. Thus, RhadaTip supports the hit cap and tier set bonuses.
3. The comparison between items and setups can go n items ahead of your current gear, up to the best in slot configuration if you want, by using the combination of RhadaTip and WoWEquip.
1. This is extremely useful. An item that is a small dps gain at the moment, might be a good dps gain (or a dps loss, for that matter) after having changed another item. As an example, an item drops (ie. a new pair of bracers). It is a small dps gain for you at the moment. You are only two emblems away from getting a new pair of legs. Before passing or bidding dkp, you might be interested in knowing what kind of dps gain those bracers would net to you also factoring in the new pair of leggings that you are about to get. Using RhadaTip and WoWEquip, that is possible.
2. This is also much more useful for the average raider than a simple BiS list. The best in slot list is actually quite useless considering that those items are only the highest dps items when you combine them all together, and less than 0.00001% of the raiders will ever get them before the next tier is released.
3. Easy, on the fly comparisons between your full gear set and that one of other players.
4. RhadaTip links your current setups to your currently active talent tree. Swapping the active talent tree will automatically swap all values within RhadaTip. This (for example) means no overhead for a RhadaTip user changing from restoration to balance before a raid.
5. RhadaTip comes with a gem optimizer. The gem optimizer's use is twofold.
1. On the left handside it shows the best gem of each colour, based on your currently set scaling values.
2. On the right handide, it will compute for you the optimal gemming of any item, be it an item that you already own (and therefore might be already gemmed), or an item that you don't already own. It will also show what gain you will get by regemming, so that you can better evaluate if it is worth going for it.
6. It comes with a collection of pre defined scaling values accessible by the /rt pv slash command. These values are mostly taken from ElitistJerks or SimulationCraft for maximum reliability and actuality.
1. When you log in with RhadaTip for the first time, it will compare your talents against those of the pre-set scaling values, and automatically load a template if there is a match.
7. One-button-optimizer for the whole gear. Clicking this button, RhadaTip will scan your equipped items plus all the items in your bags, compute which combination will result in the highest gear xPS value, and equip it.

The addon can be downloaded from curse.com or wowinterface.com.

The latest update (2.1.3c) fixes a couple issues with the auto loading of scaling values on login and the compatibility issue with ct_raidtracker

I must say, for a developer wanting to promote his new addon, spending 20 minutes to modify a numberest list of features for each forum he wants to post them on is not so good, but I hope that the first post's legibility has improved.

If you want a beta ruRU locale let me know.

New version is up, here is the changelog:

Why should I update from 2.1.3c to 2.1.4?
- A new gear optimizer function, accessible with /rt ogear. With the click of one button, RhadaTip will scan all your items and equip the combination of them which ends up delivering the highest xPS.
- A new menu frame, accessible with /rt menu, that makes it easier to access all the frames and functionalities offered by RhadaTip.
- Prismatic Sockets are now treated as enchantments, therefore they are ignored.
- Swapping specs will try to load a template of scaling values, if applicable, just like it would if you logged in with that tree as the active talent tree.
- Added a trinket model for Reign of the Unliving and Reign of the Dead.
- Added a trinket model for the following Brewfest trinkets: Coren's Chromium Coaster, Mithril Pocketwatch, Ancient Pickled Egg.
- Added the ruRU locale.
- Removed the last rare gems (Inscribed Monarch Topaz, Fractured Scarlet Ruby, Glinting Monarch Topaz, Stark Monarch Topaz).
- Fixed an hit rating error in the WoWEquip support.
- Fixed a bug caused by mousehovering a one-hand while having a two-hand equipped.
- Fixed a possible bug in the average casting time value.
- Fixed a possible bug with the Hunter class.
- Fixed some outdated print messages.

and here are some tutorialish videos that I've made and uploaded on youtube (I know that I'm no Jack, but they are just to quickly show the main features and some how-to!).

New version is up, changelog is as follows:

• Rings and trinkets comparisons should now be always accurate, regardless of hit rings currently worn by the player.
• Added tier9 pre-saved scaling values.
• Fixed a bug caused by One-Hand weapons that sometimes prevented the gear optimizer from working.
• Added the following gems: Sovereign Dreadstone and Nightmare Tear.
• Added the 3 Darkmoon Fairie: Greatness cards that had been left out of the previous releases.
• Added russian localized tier set names (fixing the 2.1.4 known bug with the ruRU locale).
• Added a message that shows how many gear combinations the gear optimizer is about to test (as a reference, on my pc 14400 combinations took 182 seconds to be fully evaluated).
• Fixed a bug that was sometimes causing the gear optimizer to equip the wrong rings or trinkets.
• The gear optimizer now factors in the 12 hit ratings from the enchantment Icewalker toward the evaluation of the excessive hit over the user specified gear hit cap.
• The gear optimizer now supports shields properly.
• Fixed an issue caused by mana per 5 socketbonuses in the deDE locale.
• Rewritten many core functions to speed the addon up and make future additions (ie the expertise cap) easier to implement.
• Updated the french locale.

[list][*]- Entirely rewritten code makes the addon extremely lightweight. You won't notice a single fps drop when mousehovering items. It will also be at least 35% faster in computing the best gear combination. It will make a workaround to the issue with Autobar possible, so the two mods will finally be able to work together.[*]- All addon compatibility issues have been worked around, therefore there is no more incompatibility with Autobar or Outfitter.[*]- The expertise cap is finally in, enabling melee to achieve the same accuracy that only casters could get until now.[*]- You can now choose a minimum itemLevel value in the Gear Optimizer tab. All items in your bags below this itemLevel will be skipped by the gear optimizer. This means that you can now fire it with fishing poles, mining picks and lvl 70 items in your bags, without having them slowing it down significantly.[*]- The gear optimizer will properly work if the best solution has 2x of the same One-Handed weapons as the weapons of choice.[*]- Added all left out Trial of the Crusade Trinkets, Darkmoon Card: Greatness, and Battlemaster Ruination.[*]- Fixed the Sundial of the Exiled proc chance.[*]- Fixed the tier9 localized names.[*]- The gear optimizer will print out the items needed to achieve the best gear possible, in case there is some problem with their auto-equipment (Binds when Equipped items, too many Dragon's Eyes).[*]- Fixed an offhand evalua

3.3 version is up, here is the changelog:

• - The hit cap mechanism has been completely rethough, to accomodate for the need of a softcap.. Now, the user will find two hit scaling values input boxes in /rt sv, one for the pre-cap and one for the post-cap values. Entering 0 in the post cap input box will make the hit cap an hard cap, just like it was pre release 3.0.1. Entering a non-zero value will properly simulate an hit soft cap instead.
• - SimulationCraft support.The upcoming version of simulationcraft will provide the user with a line similar to this:
  ( RhadaTip: "Warlock_T9_03_13_55": HitRating=3.94, SpellDamage=1.58, HasteRating=1.03, Spirit=1.11, CritRating=1.02, Intellect=0.37 )
  The user can then do a /rt inport ( RhadaTip: "Warlock_T9_03_13_55": HitRating=3.94, SpellDamage=1.58,HasteRating=1.03, Spirit=1.11, CritRating=1.02, Intellect=0.37 ) to load the scaling values faster and easier than before.
• - The gear optimizer will now always properly factor in 4ptier bonuses.
• - Updated locales.
• - Added support to tekKompare.
• - Fixed the proc chance of Egg of Mortal Essence.
• - Updated toc for 3.3.
• - Added the following 3.3 trinkets:
• --- Needle-Encrusted Scorpion from Devourer of Souls (5 men heroic).
• --- Ephemeral Snowflake from Marwyn (5 men heroic).
• --- Muradin's Spyglass from Gunship Armory (10 men normal).
• --- Herkuml War Token from Emblem of Frost Quartermaster.
• --- Maghia's Misguided Quill from Emblem of Frost Quartermaster.
• --- Purified Lunar Dust from Emblem of Frost Quartermaster.

Just in time for the holidays!

• - The Gem Optimizer has been upgraded.. Before version 3.0.2, the Optimizer would only take into consideration the gems that don't have any stat with a soft/hard cap (hit, expertise). Following the introduction of the expertise hard cap and the changes to the hit cap, I felt the need to eliminate this limitation. The new Gem Optimizer has a checkbox that, if clicked, will fire an exaustive lookup for the best possible way of gemming an item, including all the hit and expertise gems currently supported.
