BM DPS Impact Tooltip

BM DPS Impact Tooltip is a lightweight addon for Beast Mastery Hunters that makes smart gear upgrade decisions instant.

What it does

DPS Impact Rating
Adds a single DPS impact line to item tooltips based on Agility, Critical Strike, Haste, Versatility, and Mastery so upgrades are obvious at a glance., letting you compare upgrades at a glance. No spreadsheets or simulation required.

The number shown represents an estimated percentage increase to your total DPS if you equip the item right now.

Design goals

* Fast comparisons. The goal is speed.*

Minimal and efficient

No setup
No UI clutter
No scanning, logging, or persistent background processes
Calculations run only when you hover an item.

Just one clean line on tooltips and one command. Nothing else.

Tooltip example

What it doesn't do

This is a stats-only estimate.

Does not simulate rotations, procs, talents, or encounter type
Does not score weapon DPS or on-use effects
Does not replace SimulationCraft or Warcraft Logs

This addon is intentionally minimal to keep you out of spreadsheets. If you have feedback, weighting ideas, or feature requests that still fit the minimal tooltip vision, leave a comment with your suggestions and opinions.

Happy hunting, Hunters!

Advanced customization (optional, you can skip)

BM DPS Impact Tooltip works out of the box and does not require tuning. Advanced users who want to tailor stat weighting to their own logs or playstyle can adjust a small set of values manually.

How to customize
1. Open BM_DPS_Tooltip_1.lua in a text editor (Notepad is fine, drag & drop works).
2. At the very top of the file you will see:

-- Pack Leader (default)
NS.PET_FRAC = 0.66
NS.HERO_FRAC = 0.34

These two numbers must always add up to 1.00.

What they mean

**NS.PET_FRAC** = the fraction of your total damage done by pets
**NS.HERO_FRAC** = the fraction of your total damage done by you (your abilities)

A Dark Ranger generally shifts more damage into the hunter portion (less into pets), which reduces how much Mastery should be treated as "pet-only value" and increases the importance of the hunter-side weighting.

ex.
local PET_FRAC = 0.55
local HERO_FRAC = 0.45

If your personal logs show a different split, set the values to match your real breakdown. Use Details! add on (or logs) and look at pet damage % over a typical boss pull.
