New Arena Calculator and browser plugins at the Armory

Blizzard has added two new updates to the WoW Armory. One of them is the Search Engine plugin we talked about earlier, though it isn't just for Firefox -- it also includes IE 7 and Opera. They have a very simple installation for adding the Armory search plugin to your browser.They have also added an Arena calculator which is actually three calculators in one. Choose one of the calculators to determine:
- The number of arena points earned in a week
- The average rating to get a desired arena reward
- How long it will take to get that reward
If you have pinned your profile, the calculator will automatically fill up with your current arena statistics, as long as you aren't using the Opera or Safari browsers.
The Arena Calculator seems to be a good way to get the Season 2 gear before the Season 3 starts with its new rating restrictions for gear.
Do you think the new Armory updates are useful?

This is a great feature... if you're in the US, as the searches use the US Armory data, and not EU of course

Yes, I got quite excited until it didn't recognise anyone from the UK

Find the search engine xml (world-of-warcraft-armory.xml), open in a text editor, edit two lines near the end of the file from www.wowarmory.com to eu.wowarmory.com and it'll work fine for the EU armory.

Oh, yeah. Wow. See me utterly impressed. Not.
Maybe Blizz can start to repair the look for upgrades feature on the European armory now. Would be something useful for a change.

I wouldn't call the IE7 search feature a "plugin" since it's just using what's already built into the browser. You can add ANY site's search to IE7 by clicking the arrow next to the Magnifying Glass and choosing "Find More Providers", then following the 2 steps in the yellow box.
