CharacterGearOptimizer scans every item in your bags and equipped gear, scores them against configurable stat weights, and tells you the best combination to wear, including cap-aware optimization for defense, hit, expertise, spell hit, resilience, haste, armor, and uncrushable. It replaces the default Character panel (press C) with a themed paperdoll that shows your optimized gear in each slot, lets you compare alternatives in a flyout picker, and save named gear sets you can equip with one click.

Features:

- Automatic Best-In-Bag: Scans all equipped and bag items, scores them using weighted stat values, and assigns the optimal item to every slot

- Cap Priority System: Toggle checkboxes for Crit Immune, Uncrushable, Melee Hit, Spell Hit, Expertise, Armor Cap, Resilience, and Haste Cap. The optimizer uses MOO-style (Minimize Objective Over) iterative swaps to reach each cap while losing the least overall score

- Built-In Stat Weights: Pre-configured weights for every class and spec in TBC (Protection Paladin, Fury Warrior, Resto Shaman, Shadow Priest, etc). Select from a dropdown or create and save your own custom stat profiles

- Stat Weight Editor: Click Weights to open a scrollable editor where you can tweak every stat value. Save custom profiles with Save Stats for reuse across sessions

- Character Stats Panel: Side panel showing all your combat stats including melee, ranged, spell, defense, avoidance, and more, organized by category with rating breakdowns

- Spec HUD: Minimap-toggled floating display showing your specs key breakpoints (defense cap, hit cap, etc) with green and red indicators, plus a summary of your role stats

- Item Picker Flyout: Hover or click any slot to see all scored alternatives ranked by weight. Flyout opens to the left so it never covers the game tooltip

- Tooltip Integration: Every item tooltip in the game shows a score comparison vs your current gear, plus cap breakpoint contributions (defense, hit, expertise, etc) with green and red coloring

- Drag and Drop: Drag items out of slots to your bags, or drop items from your cursor onto a slot to equip them, just like the default character sheet

- Gear Set Manager (LazySets): Save named gear sets with class-themed icons. A floating HUD shows all your saved sets as icon buttons, click any to equip instantly. Manage sets with a + button that opens a dropdown to delete sets (with confirmation) or create new ones

- Session Persistence: Your selected spec, cap priorities, optimized gear, and set data are saved per-character and restored on login

- Replaces Character Sheet: Press C or click the Character micro-button to open CharacterGearOptimizer instead of the default PaperDollFrame
