That sounds like it would work.

Regarding the overhead of continuous polling: You could call SetWantsUpdates(true) when the window is opened, and SetWantsUpdates(false) when the window is closed. Most people aren't going to have the window open during combat (which is the only time when performance is at a premium).

To Thurallor: Instead of adding T2 cap reference, would it be better to implement some sort of 'modifier' feature - what I mean is that you would have another dropdown to choose modifiers, and there you would have T2 modifier adding that ~ -6.5k modifier to mits?

I am bit wary to add 'guessed'(*) stat modifiers to plugin core, instead I'd like to have the user to choose those ones and thus being aware what s/he's doing.

- - -
(*) Guessed in parenthesis just because T2 armor penetration is not as 'unofficially official' as stat rating to percentage equations in the lotro-wiki. Both are, of course, found by experiments and are subject to change if/when lotro implementation changes.

Thanks!

I have thought that refreshing stats just at every frame with Update() could add too much load to client, but sure it would be a solution for full automatic refreshing. I got to try that out... EDIT: But anyways, Update() would only be needed to automatically refresh stats when changing traits or virtues (if they don't change morale or power, or place an effect), so... But got to think about it!

Yes, I got to introduce myself to plugin compendium and add this plugin there, too. But at the moment, at first 'official unofficial' releases it might be even good to have somewhat limited number of users T2 reference cap feature would indeed be good to have, main reason to add comparing to caps was to see if overcapping is sufficient. I put that feature to TODO list, at least to consider it.

Very cool plugin.

Instead of a refresh button, did you consider polling the stats in an Update() function?

A couple of suggestions:

• Add this to Plugin Compendium to make it easier for people to find and install.
• Add a "T2 Cap" reference for the stat caps including the Tier 2 mitigation penalties.
