⚔️ Phase 3 BiS Gear Data — Black Temple & Mount Hyjal

Complete Phase 3 BiS lists for all 9 classes and every primary spec. Covers all T6 set pieces, Illidan's personal loot (Warglaives, Talon of Azzinoth, Zhar'doom, Cursed Vision of Sargeras, Bulwark of Azzinoth, Skull of Gul'dan, Black Bow of the Betrayer), Madness of the Betrayer, Tsunami Talisman, Badge of Justice rewards, and crafted BT-mat items. The Upgrade Tracker and BiS tooltip hooks pick up Phase 3 data automatically — no extra setup needed. Hover any Phase 3 BiS item to see the Phase 3 (BT/Hyjal) tag alongside slot and source info.

📋 Talent Import / Export Strings

Export your current talents in two formats. Wowhead TBC format — the compact string used by wowhead.com/tbc/talent-calc. Paste it into your browser to share a live talent calculator link. HDU compact format — a single HDU1: prefixed string embedding your class, dominant spec, point breakdown, and full talent data. Fits in a guild chat message. Import either format back in to preview the full build summary before saving. Use /hdu export to print both strings to chat.

🤝 Guild Build Sharing

New Build Share frame (/hdu share) with three tabs. Export — one click generates your Wowhead string, HDU string, and full Wowhead URL. Import — paste any HDU1 or Wowhead string, preview the build, get a class-mismatch warning if needed, and save under a custom name. Saved Builds — personal library of up to 50 builds stored in SavedVariables, persisting across sessions and reloads. Copy any build's share string to clipboard in one click, or delete builds you no longer need.

🐛 Fixes & Improvements

  • HDU_GS_Init() now safely guards SavedVars initialisation on first login
  • Wowhead talent string decoder strips full URLs — paste the entire browser URL and it still parses correctly
  • Phase 3 BiS data registers cleanly alongside existing Phase 1/2 data with no conflicts
  • Added /hdu phase3 slash command to jump directly to Phase 3 BiS view
  • Help text updated with all new v2.0.0 commands

🔮 Coming in v2.1.0: Phase 4 (Zul'Aman) BiS gear data · Talent diff view (side-by-side current vs imported build) · Guild roster integration (opt-in build sharing between guildmates)
