From character to comparison
A useful answer in three steps.
The familiar MaxDPS path, rebuilt around transparent inputs and WoW Forever data.
- 01
Open your build
Choose a specialization and, where needed, its exact role or weapon profile.
- 02
Tell us how you play
Set your level, preferred activities and effort. Advanced assumptions stay available when you want them.
- 03
Compare the slot
Filter equipment, compare weighted points, and follow each item's acquisition sources.
Useful now. Honest about what comes next.
Gear comparisons you can inspect.
MaxDPS shows the assumptions behind every comparison instead of hiding them behind a single unexplained number.
- Every Forever item from the game files, organized by class, build and slot.
- Editable stat priorities with the applied values visible beside the results.
- Where to get it: drops, vendors, quests and crafting seen in the live game.
- Weighted points, not DPS. Mechanics and optimal recommendations still require validation.
