Description
BiS or Miss
Stop guessing which drops are actually upgrades.
BiS or Miss shows you, at a glance, every Best-in-Slot upgrade you can still get for your class and spec — compared against the gear you're wearing right now. It pairs a fully browsable, filterable BiS gear window with smart, spec-aware item tooltips.
Features
- Upgrade browser — open with
/bismor the minimap button. It auto-opens to your current class and talent spec and lists, slot by slot, the BiS upgrades you're still missing — each tagged with its BiS rank (#). When a slot has nothing better, it says so ("at BiS or better"). - Spec-aware item tooltips — hover any item, anywhere, and see which specs want it (and at what rank). For your own spec you get an instant verdict versus your equipped gear: upgrade, already wearing, or downgrade. The verdict is inserted above other tooltip addons.
- Powerful filters — filter by tier (T4 / T5), by slot, and by source: raids and dungeons (with per-instance drill-down), Badge of Justice, reputation, crafted, PvP, quest, and world drops. Filters combine.
- Focused by default — slots where you're already at BiS are hidden, so you only see what you can actually improve. Flip Show all to browse the complete ranked BiS list for every slot.
- Already own it — items sitting in your bags or bank are tagged
(owned), so gear you already have doesn't read as something you still need to farm. - Can't get it yet? — items you can't currently use are flagged in yellow with the reason: wrong/no profession (Bind-on-Pickup crafted), a tailoring/leatherworking specialization, the opposite Aldor/Scryers side, or reputation you haven't earned yet.
- Tier-token help — hover a class tier token to see exactly which BiS set pieces it can turn into.
- Compare & preview — Shift-hover to compare your currently equipped item(s) side by side (the BiS-or-Miss section shows on those comparison tooltips too), Shift-click to link an item in chat, Ctrl-click to preview it in the dressing room.
- Smart about pairs — rings and trinkets are treated as a swappable pair, so it never suggests something you already have equipped in the other slot.
- Fully offline — all gear data is bundled with the addon. No web calls, no setup.
Supported
- Classes / specs: all ten classes — 24 specs. (Priest covers Holy & Shadow, with Discipline sharing the Holy list.)
- Tiers: Pre-Raid, Tier 4, Tier 5.
- Game version: Burning Crusade Classic (2.5.5).
Notes
- Recommendations follow popular community Best-in-Slot lists (list-based — not stat-weight or simulation based).
- Feral (DPS) and Feral (Tank) can't be told apart from talents alone, so Druid tooltips show both Feral lines.
- This is an early release under active development — feedback and bug reports are very welcome.
Commands: /bism (or /bisormiss) to toggle the window.
