Maybe I'm just too loyal to aftathott. The man has been making me useful spreadsheets for the last 10 years.

But hey, if you can make a cool million just by poorly copying another person's website, then by all means go for it.

There is no question WoWhead absolutely trumped Thottbot in every way... EVERY way. It used a clean interface, modern web 2.0 features, and had far less crap in it that Thottbot.

Thottbot died a long time ago, and other than yourself I don't know of anyone who would defend it over WoWhead.

I like Thottbot's search fields and shit a lot more than wowhead's, but not enough to really use it over wowhead. It's just so damn clean! I've always hated Allakhazam.

How is Thottbots search field superior? It's a blank field where you enter characters.

The best thing about thottbot is all the "lawl hunter loot" posts.

The filters on the search, I mean. It's just arranged/organized better than wowhead's.

Quineloe · 06-28-2007, 01:34 PM

I don't see a significant difference, can you point it out?

Both search engines don't know the difference between D/H and pure Healing.

Yuo gusy need to stop judgeing Wowhead. You dont know what they're going thru. They have a ring and a wedding to pay for, or something.

You've figured out to set +damage to 0 when searching for a healing item, right?

Draegan · 06-29-2007, 02:57 PM

Thott's item search is piss poor.

I'm searching for healing and it displays dmg/healing items as well, I'd consider that poor by any standard.

James · 06-29-2007, 03:46 PM

Why, it's not like they don't count towards healing. What if at some fucked up time there is an armor slot that has an item with more +damage/healing on it than any +healing item for that same slot? You never know.

And then you have to consider encounters like Leotheras.

+500 spell damage, +1200 healing FTW

Yes they count towards healing but if I am looking for dmg/healing I can select it.
When I am looking for pure healing I have no need for d/h items.

And no, the highest +heal item for a slot will never be a D/H item.
