MSBR Gear Optimizer v0.2.0

This update introduces major Classic support, improved weapon and enchant evaluation, a cleaner stat panel, and several UI and stability fixes.

Classic Support

• Added a complete Vanilla Classic equipment database with more than 9,000 usable items.
• Added Classic enchantments, crafted items, item effects, random properties, random suffixes, and item sets.
• Added automatic Classic client detection.
• Added automatic class- and talent-based Classic stat weight presets.
• Added Classic-specific combat rules, rating conversions, defense cap calculations, and boss-level handling.
• Classic and TBC databases, presets, enchantments, and gems are now separated automatically.
• TBC items can still be evaluated with Classic rules when the database version is manually changed.

Completely Rebuilt Item Finder

The Item Finder has been rewritten from the ground up.

• Replaced the old server-query-based system with a much faster local database.
• Improved overall responsiveness and search performance.
• Added new filtering and configuration options.
• Redesigned the interface to be more user-friendly.
• Improved the visual layout and readability of search results.

Weapon Evaluation

• Added Weapon DPS scoring to the optimizer.
• Added main-hand, off-hand, and ranged attack speed display.
• Added specialization-specific weapon speed preferences.
• Added Enhancement Shaman weapon synchronization scoring.
• Enhancement Shamans now receive a bonus for matching main-hand and off-hand weapon speeds.
• Added Weapon Sync Delta to the character stat panel.
• Hunter ranged weapons are evaluated by their ranged DPS, while melee weapons remain stat sticks.
• Feral Druids no longer receive incorrect Weapon DPS scoring.
• Off-hand Weapon DPS uses reduced contribution.

Enchant Evaluation

• Improved evaluation of proc-based weapon enchantments.
• Mongoose is now evaluated using its average modeled Agility and Haste uptime instead of being compared only through flat weapon damage.
• Flat weapon damage enchantments still contribute to the weapon's calculated DPS.
• Enchant recommendation tooltips now show modeled average proc values.
• Clarified the Weapon DPS tooltip to explain that armor stats and proc effects are scored separately.

Character Stat Panel

The left-side stat panel is now divided into clearer sections:

• Primary Stats
• Resources
• Defense
• Melee / Ranged
• Spell / Healing
• Resistances

Primary stats now follow the standard WoW character sheet order:

1. Strength
2. Agility
3. Stamina
4. Intellect
5. Spirit

Additional improvements:

• Added Glancing Blow chance for relevant Classic melee classes.
• Added current main-hand, off-hand, and ranged attack speed.
• Added Arcane, Fire, Frost, Nature, and Shadow Resistance for every Classic class.
• Holy Resistance is not included because it does not exist as a usable resistance stat.
• Mana is hidden automatically for classes that do not use mana.
• Expansion-specific and unavailable stats are hidden automatically.
• The stat panel is scrollable and only displays its scrollbar when required.

Interface Improvements

• The main window and Optimizer Settings window can now be resized.
• Window sizes are saved between sessions.
• Added a draggable divider for resizing the left stat panel.
• Fixed random window resizing when clicking the resize handle.
• Fixed scrollbars appearing outside their panels.
• Fixed table separators extending beyond the visible settings rows.
• Added a managed minimap button with saved positioning.
• Added an optional animated minimap gear icon.
• The minimap animation can be disabled in the addon options.
• Added a button for resetting saved window sizes.

Fixes

• Fixed Clear Locks not clearing the active lock table.
• Clear Locks now immediately refreshes the interface and reports how many locks were removed.
• Fixed old optimizer results remaining visible after changing expansion databases.
• Fixed Classic mode attempting to recommend TBC gems.
• Fixed invalid gem tooltips passing a missing item ID to the Blizzard Item API.
• Fixed addon initialization failing during client version detection.
• Fixed slash commands, options registration, and minimap initialization being interrupted by startup errors.
• Improved large-database Finder processing to avoid script ran too long errors.

Debug Mode

Debug output is now disabled by default.

It can be controlled with:

/mgo debug on
/mgo debug off
/mgo debug status
/mgo debug
