Gearscore

In Wrath, along with Blizzard’s attempts to make sure people don’t get left behind in content, has come the fad of gear checking.  While this has produced a good way of putting PUG’s together, it presents the problem of “How do I know I’m ready for this content?”.  Along with gear checking has come “gearscore”.  With gearscore you can track how your or someone else’s gear will perform in relation to the content.  Gearscore comes in two flavors, WoW-Heroes.com and a GearScore addon.  WoW-Heroes.com looks at gear and enchants, while the GearScore addon just looks at the gear itself.  The makers of these gear checking tools have conveniently made charts showing how a person’s score stacks up with the content.  Using these tools, you can gear check for your PUG’s and make sure you are up to par with the content at hand!
