Torvin's Tooltips

A WoW: Forever addon that adds lines to item tooltips explaining what the stats actually do for you, e.g. +10 Agility → +10 Attack Power (+0.7 DPS), +0.18% crit, +20 armor.

Use

• Hover an item in your bags / a vendor / loot: you see what changes if you equip it.
• Hover something you're wearing (or look at the comparison tooltip): you see what it gives you.
• /tt toggles the addon, /tt debug prints each hovered item's raw stats to chat.

How the numbers are calculated

The addon calls the same game functions the character panel uses in Forever (GetAttackPowerForStat, GetCritChanceFromStat, GetSpellCritChanceFromStat, UnitHPPerStamina, C_PaperDollInfo.GetArmorEffectiveness, ...), so they follow your class, level and talents.

Values marked ~ (dodge, spirit regen) are averages: the game only reports the total from your current stat, not a per-point value.

Known limitations

• Rings, trinkets and one-hand weapons: compared against the first slot (or an empty one if you have it).
• "Equip:" effects (hit, crit, attack power, defense, dodge, parry, block) are read from the tooltip text, so they only work on an English client. Set bonuses and spell power aren't covered.
• Hit is shown as your miss chance against a boss (3 levels above you). The dual-wield miss penalty isn't included, same as the character panel.
• Rating stats (hit/crit/haste rating) are mapped on a best-guess basis; use /tt debug to see what keys Forever items actually use.
