I finally decided to give the Blizzard Equipment Manager a try. But there was one thing missing which i did not find in some of the other broker addons for the Manager so i wrote my own.
here is what it does.
The LDB feed displays which Equipment Set (if any) you have equiped
if clicked a dropdown will be displayed with all your Equipment Sets
Sets which have items missing or have items in the bank are colored red
and the feature why i wrote this is when you equip an item but are incombat or dead YssEquipmentBroker will equip everything possible and then equip the rest when you are out of combat and alive. (The LDB feed will display the queued Equipment set but the name will be in gray instead of green)
Here is a picture of what it looks like
the dropdown is generated via the UIDropDownMenu methods as such only LDB is embedded/needed for this broker :o
hmm didn't see broker_equipment only saw Broker_BlizzEquipmentSet which i thought did to little (no combat switching) and ClosetGnome which is nice but too much for me all i wanted is a way to see what if anything i am wearing and switch it out with the combat queue feature :) the rest is pretty well covered by the Equipment Manager.
Edit:
just tried out broker_equipment and it messes up with my Frost resist gear i have 3 peice tanking and a 3 peice dps set (differently gemmed) and broker_equipment cant distinguish between them if it tries to determine which is equipped (since it matches sets by itemID and not location (Blizzard only provides the ID not the Full string))
I'm wondering if you can add a feature to it. I'm looking for the ability to move where the set in question is located on the list. This way I could organize my setups a little easier and move the less used ones down. I know you can't drag around set icons in the blizzard equipment manager, and the only other solution is to delete and re-create the sets.
