MeierLootPool

See at a glance which items in a dungeon or raid are actually worth your time.

The Adventure Guide tells you what drops. It doesn't tell you what's good for you. MeierLootPool reads the loot table straight out of the in-game journal and rates every item against your spec's stat profile — so "worth chasing" and "not for me" are one glance apart, without alt-tabbing to a website.

What it does

• Reads the loot pool live from the in-game Encounter Journal. Always current with the patch. Nothing to sync, nothing that can go stale after a hotfix.
• Rates every item's stat combination against your spec: Very interesting / Decent / Not needed.
• Ignores item level. Only the stat mix is judged, not raw item power.
• M+ and Raid profiles, switchable at any time — your choice, not derived from where the item drops.
• Any class, any spec. Check what a dungeon holds for your alt while staying logged in on your main.
• Wishlist per character, grouped by equipment slot or by source — including which dungeon or raid boss the item comes from.

How the rating works

Every spec has a stat profile (Mastery / Haste / Crit / Versatility). An item's score is its stat mix weighted by that profile, normalised to 0–1. 1.00 = purely your best stat, 0.00 = purely your worst.

A Balance Druid running Mastery 927 / Haste 766 / Crit 581 / Vers 176 gets:

Because the score is normalised, it is independent of item level — the same item at 246 and at 289 rates identically. The thresholds (0.75 / 0.45) are adjustable in the options.

What it is not

This is not a BiS list. It knows nothing about trinket procs, set bonuses, weapon speed or hero talents. It answers exactly one question: Does this item's stat combination suit my spec? For actual best-in-slot decisions, use Wowhead, Bloodmallet or your own sims — this addon is the quick filter in front of that, not a replacement.

Items without secondary stats (most trinkets, many weapons) are honestly marked Check manually instead of being given a made-up rating.

Stat data

The values live in Data.lua — a hand-maintained snapshot of the stats top players of each spec actually run, shipped with the addon and updated with it. Nothing is fetched at runtime.

Want your own numbers? Every spec already has both lines ready; only the numbers change. Absolute values don't matter, only the ratio — paste from any source without converting, then /reload. A spec whose four values are all identical counts as "not maintained": the addon shows the loot unrated and says so, rather than inventing a rating.

Usage

/mlp opens the window · /mlp mplus / /mlp raid switch the profile · /mlp weights shows your spec's stats. Also via minimap button and addon compartment.
