ScrubBuster is an addon for World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade version 2.4.3. It displays the total stats of the currently inspected player in the inspect screen (screenshot). These stats are not normally easily available, so the addon builds them up from the character's known base stats according to the game's stat logic, and combines them with bonuses from items and talents.
This, however, means that the stats cannot be 100% accurate. They are a result of convoluted mathing by the addon, so there is a small margin of error caused by things like floating point errors, formula inaccuracies, and flat out flaws. The stats are like 99% accurate, though, I promise!
The addon does not do all of this alone: it depends on (a modified version of) BonusScanner for scanning the target's equipment tooltips for bonuses. A modified version of BonusScanner is included in the download, and must be installed for the addon to work properly.
###Click to download Download ScrubBuster, and place the archive's contents in the Interface\AddOns\ folder, so that two new folders appear in the AddOns directory: BonusScanner and ScrubBuster.
Launch WoW, and in the character selection screen click on AddOns in the bottom left corner of the screen. Tick both BonusScanner and ScrubBuster.
ScrubBuster has no settings to configure. You can but don't have to configure BonusScanner's settings by typing /bscan in the chat.
ScrubBuster automatically displays the stats of any player you inspect just like stats in your own Charater Sheet are displayed.
There are a couple of differences to the character sheet, stemming from limitations to what the addon can "see" about the inspect. Warrior stances, ranged weapon ammunition and quivers cannot be automatically detected, and Druid form detection would require buffdetection and would be inconvenient anyway.
- For Warriors and Druids, there is a stance dropdown selection at the top of the inspect window.
- For Warriors, Rogues and Hunters there is a ammo/quiver selection which you can access by clicking on the ammo slot. The addon automatically preselects appropriate ammo and quiver without you having to do anything, though.
- The tooltip for hit rating (melee, ranged, and spell) will also display the target's total hit rating as adjusted by talents etc. to make it easy to see if a person is hitcapped. This only includes the Draenei racial for Draenei players; the party member portion is not included (because it's a buff). You will have to factor that in manually if it's applicable.
- The tooltip for Defense skill will also display the target's chance of being critically hit in melee, ie. uncrittability.
- The tooltip for Parry, Block and Dodge will also display total passive avoidance. This is useful for figuring out uncrushability, but keep in mind active skills like Shield Block are not shown in the tooltip.
- Buffs/auras will probably never be implemented. As far as I'm aware, it is virtually impossible for an addon to accurately detect buff effects.
- Talents and druid forms that increase armour contribution from items incorrectly apply to armour enchantments too. As far as I'm aware this is impossible to properly fix.
- If you're playing on private servers, there may be some inconsistencies due to the server having incorrect configuration. This is probably an issue with the server, not the addon, but if you come across stuff like this let me know anyway.
- Importantly, because the addon works partially by scanning tooltips which depend on localisation, non-English localisations are not properly supported and probably never will be. Use the English client.
