DDO Gear Planning Website

New gear planning website: DDO Gear Planner

"Why are my hit points so low?", I asked myself for the 10th time, stepping into a raid and bracing for the shame of being the squishiest guy in the group, again. I've got a Vitality item, Insightful CON +10; I've even switched around my destiny to get some more health. And yet, some ridiculous wizard/sorcerer/peasant split STILL has more life than me.

I did not, as it turned out, actually have my main Enhancement CON item.

Ever wonder if you're getting everything you can out of your gear? Looking for that last point for your Necro DCs?

I've built a website that presents the affixes you care about and helps you pick the right gear for your needs. Check out https://ddo-gear-planner.netlify.com/ and let me know what you think. Mobile friendly!

Want to contribute? Check out the github repo: https://github.com/illusionistpm/ddo-gear-planner

Start by tapping the affixes you're interested in, or typing particular ones into the search box. Your chosen affixes show up at the bottom.


If we're building a melee toon, we might end up with this:



Hit Done and we'll get a list of empty gear slots. Let's tap on Belt and see what we get:


Bronze Dragonscale sounds great. Tap Equip and then add some more gear. As you add more items, you'll see the important affixes are color-coded. Green affixes are applying their bonuses. Orange are overshadowed by something else. Blue affixes are duplicated with something else.


Let's scroll down and see how we're doing:


Not bad. Green here means that we have the maximum available bonus. Orange is "OK" - somewhere in the middle. Red is a very low value. Grey is not present at all. Let's finish off Physical Sheltering by tapping on its Insight button:


There's a list of all the available Insightful Physical Sheltering items. If we had hit the Lock button next to a slot, items in that slot would only be listed at the bottom. We can equip something from the list and see that we're in pretty good shape for that affix and can move on to something else.

That's about it. Give it a try! https://ddo-gear-planner.netlify.com/

Known Issues:
- Some goofy affixes in the list
- Need a legend for the color coding
