Check out Wowhead Profiler!

June 25, 2009

Awesome- we’ve all just lost one more reason to ever navigate away from Wowhead (except when they go down): the Wowhead profiler!

Blog announcement here:

  • Access all of your Armory information in an elegant, Wowhead-style tabbed interface.
  • Do advanced, Wowhead-style filtered searches of Armory profiles.
  • Check your gear score, and compare it to your friends.
  • Do a background on a potential raid-mate, to find out how much raid experience they have.
  • View your character in full, rotatable 3D, wearing your gear just as the listed in the Armory—or wearing any theoretical set of gear you can think of.
  • Try on alternate sets of gear, and watch your stats update in real-time.
  • Automatically search for the easiest upgrades for your character in any slot, using Wowhead’s powerful weight scale system—and then further filter down the list using any criteria you like.
  • Save a complete profile—any possible combination of race, class, level, and gear—to your user page, and use it for your own personal reference or link it to your friends.
  • Save an up-to-date armory profile to your Characters list with the “Bookmark” button, or save a custom profile to your Profiles list with the “Save As” button.

I know, three posts in one day! I’m gonna have to slow down on the coffee.

  1. Its cool but its not that cool. Just looked up my main and the info is at least 3 weeks old. Its pending for a resync but there’s a 2 minute wait on that.


    • I think their caching is a little overloaded from all the first day traffic. The design, once the data is up to date reliably, is better in some ways than other tools like them. I’m not a huge fan of how they assign values to gear though.
