Outfitter 

Figured this issue out. SOLVED>

Ends up its only one set that does it. I have my main set that I use for normal questing. I've been testing them without using outfitter... when I equip most of those pieces, each one makes my health and/or mana go down. What the heck causes that?

You say both go to 20%? It sounds like your outfit is first taking off all of your gear at once, and only after it does that, is it putting your gear back on. Taking all gear off will bring you down to base stats, and once you put the gear back on, those base stats are going to be about 20% of what you have with gear factored in.

Have you made sure that your equipment sets within Outfitter aren't set to use any scripting when changing items in/out?

My mana and health go down to 20 percent when I change outfits. Is there a fix for this?

Thanks SO much for the info. Its giving me an error however. In the script area its says STATUS: Error at line6: 'end' expected (to close 'function' at line1) near '<eof>'

To verify I'm using it correctly I choose my outfit I've already set up then add this as a custom script and change the pet name accordingly. Correct?

I LOVE this addon. Used it for quite a while. Its awesome.

I dug through the comments and found this script which I had been searching for to equip a pet with a specific outfit. However I'd like it to dismiss the pet when I change outfits. Could anyone tell me what to add for that?
Thanks!

I just downloaded Outfitter and loving it. However I am stumbed by 1 thing.
I can't get "Show in item comparisons" to work. It might be due to me not fully understanding what is meant by this, but I thought it was something similar to equipcompare or similar addons?
I figured out I could shift hover over an item to get tooltip, but I wanted the tooltip to work on normal hover.
Hopefully someone will be able to help me here.

Sorry for the delay in replying; barely been having enough time to get into game and do my dailies, let alone play with things that are interesting!

Tried it the way you suggested. Kept it off high speed to watch. It reduced Spell Pen to zero, and then Resil to 18 or so. Kept Hit at 615.

When it was done, I had those values...and 6 pieces of armor on in the set. One piece was an older PVP piece with the 18 resil. The rest of the gear slots were all empty. Rather a lackluster outfit.

So, it kinda worked; at least I can say 'well, I need those empty slots filled with things without hit rating'. But I guess it revealed ANOTHER problem; how to tell the algorithm 'yes, minimize a stat, but give me a full set of armor'.

I hate to suggest algorithms, but perhaps particle swarm optimization is more useful here? Not sure how the performance would be in the environment though. And I *reallly* don't wanna write it. But perhaps I'll see if I can adapt Abelhas as a library to be used in WoW addons.

Now that I (hopefully) have helped reduce the need for a repeat from the author, i'll bring up a problem I'm having.

Being a mage with a limited amount of need for doing anything but DPS, I usually keep three sets of very similar armor: PVE, PVE Bosses (the spell hit cap jumps from 6% at +2 levels to 17% +3 levels) , and PVP. I'll tend to generate a set with a few stat settings, and then tweak it and resave it, which has worked pretty well in the past.

Now, though, all the top-end gear is getting WAY too much hit in it. I hate having too much. I noticed, recently, that I can do more with a stat than just MAX it. Great! So, I make a new outfit:

[Spell Hit Rating] <= 615
[Spell Damage] MAX

And Build! And it worked like a charm. Except...oh, wait, to avoid the hit cap, it's equipping my PVP gear. Hrm. No, that won't work.... Alrightee, I know!

[Resiliance] <= 0
[Spell Penetration] <= 0
[Spell Hit Rating] <= 615
[Spell Damage] MAX

And Go! It finishes...and wait, um, No, pretty much the same as before. WTF? So, i go look at the code. And get a headache (no, not because it's bad. I was expecting a headache. Optimization is an NP-Complete problem most of the time...).

Apparently, the problem (I'm guessing) is that our esteemed author (Did I express again today how much I love this addon, and how disappointing the one I switched to from Outfitter a long while ago had become around LK time?) never THOUGHT someone would use this option to EXCLUDE a stat. As best I can figure, the optimizer says 'If you specify a stat, you must WANT the stat. I'll take all the objects for that slot, and pick the one with the smallest number." Instead of "Oh, it's a max. Is the max zero? Yes, then lets not pick anything with that stat for that slot, even if we have to leave it blank."

So, feature request: either letting '<= 0' work, or specifying a 'None' option to flag it explicitly. I decided it was a better use of my time to ask first, and hack it if necessarily, later.

(not putting this in the tracker, in case someone comes back and say 'Oh, silly, just make it -1' or something easy)

On the nose! Blizzard removed this ability from an addon or a script. The code's still in there, just in case someone figures it out, to switch slots during combat; there's just apparently no slots that can be switched during combat by automation, now.

First off I just wanna say I've been using Outfitter for years and love it! Even after Blizzard introduced the Equipment Manager I still find it extremely useful.

That said the only thing I wish it would do right, which it hasn't in a long time, is change out items in the main- and/or off-hands during combat. I used to use this feature to quickly switch a two-hander out with a sword and board on my paladin when I get in a jam but when I find that capability most useful is while I'm fishing.

The fishing script used to unequip your fishing outfit if you enter combat to get your weapons back and equips it back when you leave combat. Very handy when a mob pats a little too close to you while you're fishing but for the last few patches it hasn't worked right. It seems like it tries since it completely locks up the main-hand item to where you can't manually equip it even after combat untill the client is restarted. It doesn't do this if I remove the fishing script from the outfit.

I can change out these items myself while in combat, it just seems that maybe Blizzard changed how an addon would do it.

This isn't a complaint or a rant... just wanted to bring it up in case it got put on the back burner and forgotten about. Otherwise love the mod!
