Examiner is an advanced inspection mod which you can use to check other players gear, talents, honor and arena team details.

When you inspect someone, it will show a stat summery of all their equipped gear combined.
Please note that these values are from gear alone, and will not include bonuses from buffs, talents or normal base stats.

Each player you inspect, will be cached so you can look them up later, even when they are no where near you.
This option can be disabled if you prefer not to cache the people you inspect. To cache honor and arena details, you must
enable the option to do so under the config page. Talents are not cached.

You can bind a key to inspect your target, you can even bind a key to inspect whoever is under your mouse (stealth inspection).
To set this up, open the Key Bindings dialog and look under "Examiner".

Examiner uses about 160 kb of memory with no players cached.

You can always find the latest release of this addon on either WoWInterface.com or Curse.com.
Post your comments, questions and suggestions for this addon on either of these sites.

Compare Gear
To compare one person's gear with another, you can mark a target for compare by right clicking on the "Stats" button to get a drop down menu to open, this menu will have an entry called "Mark for Compare".
When marked for compare, the Stats page will no longer show the actual stats of your inspected person, but will instead show the difference in stats compared to the person you marked for compare.

Sending Inspect Data to Another Player
Examiner can send the inspected data to another person who has Examiner. This is done through the AddOn Whisper Channel.
By default, accepting addon messages in Examiner is disabled, you have to enable this on the Configurations page.

To send a player you have inspected to another person with Examiner, you have to first inspect a person or load them from your cache.
After having done this, right click on the "Stats" button and select "Send To..." and fill in the name of the person you wish to send it to.
If the send was successful and the person you sent it to received it, you will get a note in the chat frame that they got it.

Slash Commands
The slash command for Examiner is /examiner or just /ex.

Although you probably wont need to use any slash commands as almost everything is available from the UI,
there are a few things which can only be done through slash commands.

/ex inspect 'unit' or /ex i 'unit'
This one will inspect the given unit (target, focus, party3 etc). If no unit token is given, it will inspect target and then player if no target exist.

/ex si 'itemLink'
This command will scan just a single item and list its combined stats in the chat frame.
Holding down ALT while the mouse is over an item in Examiner will show a tooltip with the stats like this.

/ex compare 'itemLink1' 'itemLink2'
Compares two items and lists the stat differences.

/ex arena 'rating'
Shows you the amount of arena points the given rating gives for 2v2, 3v3 and 5v5.

/ex scale 'value'
Changes the scale of the Examiner window.

/ex clearcache
Clears the entire cache of Examiner.

Future Plans
Adding more filter types to the "Set Filter" option using text syntax, a bit like the /who function in WoW is working.
For example you could set the realm like this: "r:Burning Blade" then it would only show cached entries from Burning Blade. A level filter could work like this: "1-69" and would show all non 70s.
Then add two new options for clearing the cache, one which clears all shown entries, and one which clears all the hidden entries.

Examiner Changes 2009 Feb 20
- Better handling of page changes, should stay more consistant while going from normal frames to talents and back. Also works better when inspecting an NPC and then a player or vice versa.
- Scanner: The Wyrmrest head enchant should now properly have its mp5 detected.
- Scanner: The "Surefooted", "Icewalker" and "Accuracy" enchants will now also increase spell hit and crit.
- Scanner: Now also matches the crit rating on the Kirin Tor head enchant, which has a lower case "r" in Rating.
- Scanner: Haste gems should now properly add to both spell and melee/ranged haste.
- Scanner: Added the following enchants: "Titanium Weapon Chain", "Tuskarr's Vitality", "Wisdom" and "Greater Vitality".
- Simplified the stat overview a little by not listing stats such as crit and haste under both the melee and spell category. Now there is a new category named "Basic Ratings" which will show the crit, hit and haste ratings.
- The Russian translation has been updated by Hoofik of AshenVale (RU).
- Scanner: The Death Knight enchant "Rune of the Stoneskin Gargoyle" now adds 25 defense rating.

Examiner Changes 2008 Dec 15
- Fixed an update problem with honor and arena teams, that sometimes didn't show all data unless you inspected them several times.
- Removed hunter pet backgrounds, they don't really fit as well as the others.
- Armor Penetration Rating should now be shown in percent again.
- Scanner: Added the "Icewalker" boot enchant.
- Scanner: Added the "Accuracy" weapon enchant.
- Scanner: New MP5 enchant pattern added, "+X Mana/5 second". Unsure which shoulder enchant it is, but I just saw one with it.
- You can now click on an achievement, and if it has any pre or followups, a list of them all will be shown. To go back to the normal display, just click any achievement, or select a new category from the list.
- Updated the German translation, thanks to Thorakon.
- The Feats dropdown menu now has a "Feats of Strength Query" entry, selecting this will show all the feats of strength achievements that exists in WoW. Added because the "Feats of Strength" category, unlike other categories, only shows the ones you or the inspected player has.
