In-game item comparison tools

Flyv is recommending a new scale to import into Pawn for Druid Feral Cat DPS item assessment. If that sentence confuses you, I’ll break it down. Pawn is an AddOn that assigns a value to any piece of gear you look at in-game. You can then compare values of different pieces of equipment to judge which one is an upgrade. But Pawn needs you to create a weighted scale so it knows what you value (agility! strength!,etc.) Flyv is pointing out that a popular Druid theorycrafter has created a scale you can import into Pawn to help you judge gear accurately. I can’t attest to the new scale, but since I respec between cat, tree and bird three to four times a week I’m a big fan on this AddOn that helps me understand what loot is an upgrade for all my different gear sets.
