I haven't been able to keep up with this because of the amount of server space needed to pull the information and the amount of time it takes with work right now.  Bit of a passion project.  I will pick this back up when I can.

📊 Build Sources

Dodgen Data Builds

Builds based on data pulled from the NA and EU regions across all M+ and Raid runs, Logged and not.  Data is obtained using a series of (Hopefully soon to be) automated pulls using  WCL API v2 (rankings + talentImportCode) + Blizzard API (role %) and rating validation.  The beauty, it's all TOS Compliant, and it doesn't require someone paying the man their ad revenue due's!

 

 

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q: Do I need to update builds myself?

A: No. The addon includes all builds. Updates are released when major balance changes occur. 

Q: Can I add my own builds?

A: Yes! Import your custom builds normally through WoW's interface. This addon just makes importing easier.

Q: Does this work for PvP?

A: The builds included are for PvE content. For PvP talents, check your class Discord.  I may look into sourcing PVP builds at a later date.

Q: What if I want to edit an imported build?

A: Imported builds work like any other loadout - edit, rename, or share them freely.
