Embed your Armory info

For those of you who enjoy thoroughly analyzing World of Warcraft's class composition through armory data, do we have the site for you! Okoloth has started his own armory database -- he queries the armory for characters and then feeds the information back in to a local database where he can compile statistics on the overall playerbase. The downside to the project is that it's difficult to get a comprehensive list of all players -- Okoloth gets his player list by first checking all players on Arena teams and then querying every player in those players' guilds. So this data isn't 100% accurate simply because it's not pulling 100% of character information -- however, I'd say the 40,000 character profiles queried gives us a reasonable slice of the overall population.

Okoloth gives us percentage breakdowns of talent spec, all stats, professions, Aldor/Scryer reputation, and gear. Keep reading for a class/talent breakdown, and be sure to check Okoloth's site for all of the armory data you'll ever need.

Ever looked at your Armory page and thought "this is nice, but I wish I could put it on another web page"? Well, now you can! MMO Guildsites has created a widget that can be embedded anywhere you like (guild rosters, maybe?), and consists of an iframe linking to a script that runs on their servers (so you don't need any server-side script support on your own site). The output is rather pretty, as you can see at right; in fact, I like it better than the actual Armory in many ways.

It does have a few shortcomings -- you can't see how much +damage you have in various schools, for instance -- but I still like it as a way to put live Armory data anywhere you want it. (It can show PvP data too, by the way, but I turned mine off for the screenshot since my numbers are downright shameful.) If you're interested, click over to their site, put in your server and character name, and it'll generate a preview and HTML for you to paste wherever you want it.
