Amibis

Beware this is AI slop. I don't usually work with LUA and haven't really done any verification beyond making sure there aren't rogue loops running calculations constantly

A World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Classic addon that compares your equipped gear against Best-in-Slot lists sourced from wowtbc.gg.

Features

Gear Comparison — See at a glance which slots are BIS and which can be upgraded
Auto-Detection — Automatically detects your class and active talent spec
Stats Comparison — Side-by-side stat breakdown (Healing, Spell Power, Intellect, Spirit, MP5, Haste, Crit)
Upgrade Highlight — Identifies your biggest available upgrade
Persistent Settings — Window position and spec overrides saved per character

Usage

Command	Description
`/amibis`	Toggle the comparison window
`/amibis spec <SpecName>`	Override auto-detected spec (e.g. `/amibis spec Holy`)
`/amibis spec clear`	Reset spec override to auto-detection

Interacting with the window

Shift+Click a row to link the BIS item in chat
Ctrl+Click a row to open the dress-up preview
Hover a row to see the item tooltip

Adding BIS Lists

BIS data lives in Amibis/Data/BISLists.lua. Each list follows this structure:

1. Define a class table

local WARRIOR_T5 = {
    ["Head"] = {
        itemID = 12345,
        name = "Helm of the Fallen Defender",
        source = "SSC - Lady Vashj",
        enchant = { id = 35445, name = "Glyph of Renewal" }, -- optional
    },
    -- ... repeat for each slot
}

2. Supported slots

Head, Neck, Shoulder, Back, Chest, Wrist, Hands, Waist, Legs, Feet, Finger0, Finger1, Trinket0, Trinket1, MainHand, SecondaryHand, Ranged

3. Register in BIS_DATA

local BIS_DATA = {
    ["PRIEST"] = {
        ["Discipline"] = { ["T5"] = PRIEST_T5 },
        ["Holy"]       = { ["T5"] = PRIEST_T5 },
    },
    ["WARRIOR"] = {
        ["Protection"] = { ["T5"] = WARRIOR_T5 },
    },
}

Field reference

Field	Required	Description
`itemID`	Yes	WoW item ID (number)
`name`	Yes	Display name
`source`	Yes	Where it drops (e.g. `"TK - Kael'thas Sunstrider"`)
`enchant`	No	`{ id = <spellID>, name = "<Enchant Name>" }`

Important

Class keys must match WoW's English class constants: "WARRIOR", "PRIEST", "MAGE", etc. (all caps)
Spec names must match the values in Amibis:GetPlayerSpec() (e.g. "Discipline", "Holy", "Arms")
Phase keys are strings like "T5", "T6" — the default phase is set in Amibis.lua under DEFAULT_AMIBIS_DB.selectedPhase
