Diablo III Damage / Gear Comparison Calculator (Browser-based, no downloads needed)
Hello! I'm Dyril. Just making a post here to help spread the word about a browser-based damage/gear calculator for Diablo III I've been working on for the past month with my gf. NO spreadsheets, NO downloads of any sort, NO registration required to save information (it's saved on your end, not mine).

Site address:

If it's not stickied on the front page, simply click the Damage Calculator link on the top menu.

Features:
-Compatible for all levels, all classes.
-Pretty straightforward interface: follow the baby-blue step instructions one by one. It takes a little bit to set up, because you need to input your gear information first, but once you do that you are able to save the information in 1 to 5 profiles. (Must have browser cookies enabled.)
-Once your profile is saved, switch out an item by slot, and hit the calculate button again, and you will be able to see the net change in damage. Reload the profile to try out another item.
-Expand/hide sections you don't want to see to minimize the size of the interface.
-I'm not going to say it's 100% accurate all the time, especially in regards to dual-wielding and weapons with +% damage bonuses, but it works really well and has been tested thousands of times by now. You can follow the comment trail for the calculator to see the progress and revisions I've made along the way.
