I've been working on an armory scanner to make
@Changzu's life easier and I've coded an (optional) idea that I'd like to get some feedback on.
As it stands, some people get pushed to the top of the ilvl rankings by equipping BoE's that don't match their primary stat (whether this is worthwhile is debatable). There's also a huge ilvl increase when using the 2H mace, 1H maces or 810 relics. So what I'd like to suggest is a "normalized ilvl" (or it might be easier to think of it as "BoE ilvl"). It would ignore your weapon and only average the slots which are necessary for your class/spec, plus any extra slots you've decided to equip BoEs in.
Here's some more details:
- If you're using int gear on an agi/str class it will still be taken into account, but it won't push you above people who choose not to
- Legendaries will always boost your ilvl as though they're 1/14th of your gear, regardless of how many slots are averaged
- 910 Legendaries will be treated as 940 legendaries (feels fairer since it's not like those people can do anything about it)
- If you're using the WoD ring then it will ignore that slot so it doesn't pull your ilvl down
- If you're only using 1 BoE trinket (the other could be something like Tarot, Soul Cap, Chipped Soul Prism) then it will ignore the lower trinket
- Weapons are not included in the calculation
