The tool, is a tool. The best thing about it is you can select from all the items they have listed. Not a “preselected” list that other sites use.

It does take a while to understand that conversion, since it’s giving you raw gains. You need to be able to convert that yourself in DPS for YOUR situation.

Cool tool, cool cool tool(s).

***

The default present weight scales do not answer the basic “which spec benefits most from this weapon” question.

As it stands now, any weapon score using the Beast Mastery weight scale will ALWAYS be higher than its score using the Survival scale.

Why, bacause the weighted scale for each attribute for Beast Mastery is at least as high as the weighted scale for Survival (all higher except for MP5).

The Marksman score will only be higher than the Beast Mastery score if the weapon has Intelligence and not much else.

The Marksman score will always be higher than the Survival score has Agility and not much else.

A hunter who believes the scores to be accurate will always conclude Beast Mastery is the only way to go.

The preset scale weights fail to take into account individual talents which grant bonuses to particular abilities

The preset scale weights fail to attribute a weight to Damage per Second.

The preset scale weights fail to attribute a weight to Weapon Speed. In fact, I did not see how you can add a weight for Weapon Speed should you customize the scale (or better yet, a factor for each possible Weapon Speed which be multiplied by the DPS value).

It is impossible to set a weight to each color socket at this time.

***

Although a hunter can lessen the damage by editing the weights for each attribute for his specific build and other builds he is considering, very few will have the knowledge to set the appropriate weights.

YMMV.
