Weighted-stat gear comparison for Ascension (classless WotLK 3.3.5, Interface 30300).
This is the gear-compare half of Refactor shipped on its own — no quest automation, no loot toasts, no crowd-control alert, no quality-of-life tweaks. Just: is this item an upgrade?
- Tooltip verdict — hover any item and see a % against what you have equipped, with the compared slot named ("vs [X]") for rings, trinkets and one-handers.
- Green bag arrows — upgrades are marked in your bags (stock bags, Bagnon, DragonUI, AdiBags, ElvUI). Upgrades you can't equip yet because of a level requirement show an orange arrow instead, so "worth keeping" and "equip it now" never look the same.
- Loot alerts — a chat line when fresh loot beats your gear.
- Quest reward / loot roll / merchant markers — the same verdict on quest reward choices, group-loot rolls and vendor stock.
- Auto-picked stat weights — your class and primary talent spec seed a profile automatically; edit any weight, save profiles, or pick a different spec's defaults.
- Secondary verdict profile — a second (blue) verdict alongside the active one, for off-spec gear.
- Hit cap — per profile, opt-in: hit rating past the cap stops counting.
- Smart equip — right-click equip replaces the weaker of two rings/trinkets/weapons.
Everything is scanned from the live item instance, which matters on Ascension: item scaling is server-side and is not in the item link, so base-link addons (Pawn and friends) read the wrong stats. No readable data means no verdict — the arrow never guesses.

Refactor is the quality-of-life half — fast auto-loot, loot toasts, quest and merchant automation, a crowd-control alert. As of Refactor 1.6.0 it no longer contains any gear comparison, so the two are complementary, not competing: install either alone, or both together.
Install both and they cooperate automatically (no setting to turn on):
- Refactor's loot toasts show the upgrade arrow and % again.
- Refactor's "Auto-pick quest rewards" works again — it ranks the choices with this addon's stat weights and refuses to click on anything ambiguous.
- Their two bag-shuffle routines check each other so they never fight over the cursor.
They stay fully separate otherwise: own saved variable (RefactorGearDB), own slash
commands (/rfg), own config window, own minimap button. Stat-weight profiles from an
older combined Refactor install do not carry over — this addon auto-detects your
class/spec weights fresh on first login.
