AddOn Spotlight: TheoryCraft

I'm always a fan of more data. The default interface only provides very basic information about your spells and abilities, and as the base abilities are modified more heavily by gear, it becomes impossible to determine what exactly your abilities are doing for you without the help of a calculator and several pages of notes. This is why I like the TheoryCraft mod that I ran across on Curse Gaming, which gives at-a-glance info on what all of my spells hit for right on my toolbar, as well as providing more detailed tooltip information. And, while I'm looking at it as a caster, it provides equal amounts of information for physical damage-dealers, giving an average damage per attack (and other statistics) based on equipped gear. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go back to switching out gear and staring at numbers...Filed under: Add-Ons, Features, AddOn Spotlight

I've used that addon and it's great. My favorite stat was the mana efficiency. It's a great help when juggling multiple levels of a spell, especially heals, as well as letting make better decisions about which damage spells to use at various stages of a fight.
