Addon Review - ReforgeLite (by Shamanic)
ReforgeLite is an in-game list of stat weights, along with an interface that allows for one click reforging (based on those weights).

It comes with a set of preset stat-weights for each class and spec or you can of course enter your own stat weights manually. Once you've inputted your weights or edited the existing ones, you can save them for future use so you only need to do this once.

Step One: Type /Reforge Or click reforge an item at any reforger. You will get your ReforgeLite Panel showing the stats of the current gear equipped. A red stat means you have already reforged away from that stat, and into the green stat.

Step Two: Stat Weights. For example, I've loaded the Arcane Mage preset on a low-geared character. You can choose to add a minimum or maximum cap, from the stats, for example "Hit, at least spell hit cap, 1742." A nice note for hybrids is this addon does take into account the hit from spirit conversion and it does recognise hit talents automatically, although you can always manually adjust anyway.

Step Three: Click Calculate. You now get a new table telling you what it would recommend you do. You can either use this to manually adjust your own items, or you can get the addon to now adjust these for you.

Step Four: Click Show. The items with the tick next to them are items that the addon perceives to be correctly reforged.If you want to keep any items exactly as they are, check the tick. Items with the tick will NOT be automatically reforged. Anything that is not ticked, will be reforged as it has listed when you click reforge. That's one click, reforge everything unticked. You can hover over the item icon to see the full item stats.

In this example, I will be reforging 10 pieces of gear, for a total cost of 178g, 47s, 60c.

Note! Be careful not to click "Reforge" until you're sure you're ready! As soon as you click reforge it will start cycling through each piece and reforge it automatically. You can click cancel if you change your mind before it's finished.

Conclusion: With this you can change as little as one piece, or as much as all of your gear - ideal for after patches when weights change, on new characters or with new gear.




2011 European Battle.net Invitational: Day 1 Round-Up

Starcraft 2
After a slight delay, the matches finally kicked off at around 2pm. Naniwa and Strelok had a close round, which eventually swung in Naniwa’s favour. Ret and Tarson had a tense battle too, ending with Ret claiming the victory.

There were more than a few sad-faced fans when White-Ra went out 0:2 against Thorzain in the first round, and then landed another disappointing score against Nerchio in the Consolation Bracket. This must’ve been a relief for those cheering on Nerchio, though, after he lost his first round against Socke 0:2. Following his defeat at the hands of Ret in the Championship Bracket, Tarson reclaimed some ground by beating Strelok 2:0 in the Consolation Bracket.

Round 2 seemed nice and easy for Thorzain, who managed to win two games straight up against Socke. He’ll now face Ret in Round 3 tomorrow, who narrowly came out on top over Naniwa 2:1. In the Consolation Bracket, Tarson beat Socke 2:1, and Nerchio went down against Naniwa, meaning Round 3 will see Naniwa facing Tarson for a chance in the final.

There were some clear victories early on in the Warcraft Brackets, as both Colgate and Showtime scored 3:0 against their respective opponents; I can’t believe it’s not Wizard and x6tence. The losing teams faced each other in the Consolation Brackets, which saw x6tence walk away with the lead after a 3:0 win. Showtime won out over Colgate with a 3:1 score on Round 2 of the Championship Bracket.


World of Warcraft
Both Surprise Effect and Victornox went through to Round 2 after winning their Round 1 matches against DNAW Trio and Feeling Mad. The ensuing battle between the winning teams was close, finally seeing Victorinox take the lead 3:2 in Round 2. DNAW Trio and Feeling Mad faced each other in the Consolation Bracket, resulting in a 3:1 score to DNAW Trio.

Firstly, WoW team Showtime pulled out all the stops and defeated the finalists from the Consolation Bracket, DNAW Trio. The runners up fought valiantly, making Showtime work hard for their victory. They managed to win a match, making the score 2:1 to Showtime, but were beaten in the following game. Both teams will get to take part in the Global Battle.net Invitational during BlizzCon in October.

Starcraft 2
In StarCraft II, Tarson went up against Naniwa in the Consolation Bracket and was defeated 0:2. Naniwa went on to play against Thorzain, who was previously beaten by Ret in the Championship Bracket. Naniwa also walked away from that match with a 2:1 victory, and entry into the Grand Final.

Both Ret and Naniwa seemed icy cool as they began the Grand Final match, each walking on stage to a rapturous reception. However, Ret won the first match after catching Naniwa off-guard. The second match was over even quicker, as Naniwa tried a new tactic which, sadly, just didn’t pay off. Ret hardly seemed to break a sweat as he won the Grand Final 2:0.

World of Warcraft
As with the WoW finalists, both Ret and Naniwa will take part in the Global Battle.net Invitational at BlizzCon. We’ll see you there!

Don't forget to catch up on the replays, match brackets and more over on the official 2011 European Battle.net Invitational site.

    A lot of posters seem to be missing the point of ReforgeLite. Is in NOT a combat sim. It will not create your stat weights. It's sole purpose is saving you time when you right click on the reforging vendor and start reforging all your gear. And truth be told, it does that extremely well.Without sitting down to calculate the stats on every piece of gear I have, I was able to get my hit chance to 7.95, which I figured was close enough as I never want to go over cap. That was before ReforgeLite. With the addon, after importing my stat weights, I was able to click a couple times and the addon calculated how to improve my hit rating from 7.95 to 8.00. I'm not kidding about that perfect 961 hit rating. Capped hit with no wasted hit rating. It also reforged everything else for secondary stat optimization and all with one click. No dragging every item into reforge window, clicking 2 drop downs...confirming..and of course without the addon I could only do that after I did my own math to figure out which items to move hit to and from.

    I like how blizz posts all the spoilers first, and then the link to the replays at the bottom.

    I'm just wondering why this is called ReforgeLite.. to me it implies that there is also an addon called "Reforge", of which this is the "lite" version.. a bit like GearScore and GearScoreLite (I think? Can't really think of any other examples).

    Was not that hard to go on wowreforge.com to do this.

    I hope this addon acts like SimC, changing stats weight depending on how much you have of each stat, otherwise meh =p
  1. Sidone's Avatar
    Maybe the Lite part is because it does not consume much memory etc.

    Also, there is a newer DLC up. Click next on their website

    It's not hard to do anything. This addon automates the entire process, including the actual reforging part, which is pretty handy when you've got several items to reforge at the same time.

    That was the worst WoW tournament I have ever seen. I knew Blizzard didn't care about the PvP aspects of WoW, but that was like salt in the wound.

    ReforgeLite? So now I can change any stat on a item? 'confused'
  1. twilightsamus's Avatar
    Tournament was shit, and so will Blizzcon since there's literally never been a good Blizzcon WoW tournament.

    Reforging is hard! Oh gaw...I need an addon to help me MAKE MORE HASTE! You can't reforge your gear without someone holding your hand for you and telling you which stats to change? There's a problem there.

    This post demonstrates a lack of understanding of the complexities inherent in optimal reforging.

    In the case of, for example, an Enhancement Shaman, you can certainly "wing it" and get Exp cap, spell hit cap, and dump the rest into mastery; however, without doing a thorough search of the space of possible reforge configurations, you will likely end up being slightly under or over the respective caps, all without maximizing your mastery bonus.

    Having finally tried a reforge optimization tool, I now swear by them. It's not as straightforward as you think, and if you think it is, you're definitely doing it wrong.

    To all the people that are saying this addon is useless or askmrrobot is dumb, I'd like to see you get exactly 8% hit and 26 expertise while also maxing your best secondary stat (mastery, crit, hit).

    Its not hard to get close to hit/expertise cap... and not all classes are supposed to max one secondary stat, not only that but stats weight and thats the problem of this addon or mrrobot, they use fixed stat weights... well at least its usefull for new players

    Since when does "get close" mean "exactly"?

    getting close to hit and expertise isn't hard, but getting exactly 961 hit and 781 expertise while keeping beneficial stats you need is

    That seems like an odd reason.. should I put "Lite" in the name of all of my addons too? Because I (as most authors I imagine) try to make them use as little memory as possible...
