Posts with tag weighting

Wowhead, a site you may have noticed I love to talk about here, just won't sit still. Today they implemented several changes:

• Stat weightings
• Search within results
• Easier filter creation
• Better source listing
• Filtered stats get their own column

Of these, I am by far the most excited about stat weightings. What am I talking about? Well, it all started with agility equivalence points, or AEP. Back in the dawn of WoW (or before BC, anyway), a rogue named Ming thought to himself: How do I tell what gear is best? Surely there is some equivalence that can be established between (say) one agility (by far the best stat for Rogues at the time) and some amount of attack power. And so he created AEP, which tell you how much of any other stat is worth the same as 1 agility. This is what is meant by stat weightings.
