ZinaGearCompare is a lightweight World of Warcraft addon that adds gear quality scoring to the inspect window and player tooltips, powered by your
existing https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/pawn scales.
Features
Gear Quality Score in the Inspect Window
When you open the inspect window on another player, ZinaGearCompare adds a panel showing their weighted gear score calculated using your Pawn scales. You
can cycle through your available scales with < / > buttons to evaluate their gear from different perspectives (e.g. DPS vs. tank weights).
Mouseover Tooltip Score
Hovering over any player in the world, a dungeon, or a raid automatically fetches their gear data and displays their ZGC score directly in the tooltip —
no need to open the inspect window.
Skill Parity Indicator
For each inspected player, ZinaGearCompare calculates a skill parity percentage: the percentage of their damage you would need to deal in order to perform
equally given the gear difference. For example:
- skill ≥ 85% means they have better gear — you need to play at 85% of their output to match them skill-for-skill.
- skill ≥ 120% means you have better gear — you should be outputting 20% more than them.
Your Own Score on Your Character Frame
Your current gear score is displayed at the bottom of the Character frame, updating automatically when you equip new items.
Details! Integration
If you have the https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/details damage meter installed, /zgc compare will cross-reference live combat data with the
gear-based expectation, showing whether your actual damage ratio is above or below what your gear difference predicts.
Auto Scale Detection
ZinaGearCompare automatically selects the most appropriate Pawn scale for each player based on their class and specialization, so you always see a
meaningful score without manual configuration.
Requirements
- https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/pawn must be installed with at least one custom scale configured.
