Preliminary rankings, shown openly.

Items and their stats come from the WoW Forever game files and are ranked with the same class, armor, weapon and level rules as the build pages, with each build's stat weights for group content. Scores are weighted points, not simulated DPS or best-in-slot claims. How scores work.
