I wonder if it would be possible to create an Optimiser like RawR for all those people with 300 pieces of gear and no idea which combination will fit together best for their char. I read somewhere someone was going to attempt it, but for the life of me i cant recall where.
That thing could take ages to parse through all the items. In RawR you only had maybe 2-3 items per slot that were even remotely viable. In D3 you could have dozens per slot to test. Given that brute force is the only way to test every combination, I'm not sure anyone really wants to wait 6 to 8 weeks to find out which group of items gives them the best dps/survivability.
This is true for sure. I was thinking more along the lines using the API primarily to pull in your current character initially, then having manually inputting gear stats for 2-3 items per slot and having the optimiser do its thing finding the best combination for your toon based on a certain preset like 'DW' or 'Sword&Board', etc.
Like you said having to parse and then have a DB entry for every single item is crazy, but im thinking if there is, like me, players out there with a crazy amount of items and no idea which one is the best cuz they are so close, manually entering is the least of the trouble to get a solid answer.
