You can kind of see this with Gearscore. It will show ratings for the whole party. It is completely inaccurate in some cases though.

It wont help in his case since his toons are only in their 30s but from the looks of it they seem very well geared.

they are for the most part ive only run dungeons thus far and i only use the blues to keep the boys all the same as i can farm them for all toons
But I think im gonna quest a while and start using the Q rewards plus green drops and i can see that they are already well seperated in gear standards and ive only got like 3 pieces that are diff per toon

I don't think there is anything accurate, there are just too many variables with specs/gems/enchants.

Ratingbuster is another option but it won't do your whole group from one interface. You will have to mouse over every session. It will quickly give you a good breakdown of what stats will be improved so you can give the item to the character that shows the most "green".

Can be misleading sometimes if you aren't paying attention. If you could order the Ratingbuster stats by priority it might be better.

I'll look into this one tyvm

im confused as to how GearScore is innacurate, and if you are using it for your own team, skill is not an issue, neither is PvP gear abuse.. so uh, yes this is the easiest and best use of the mod.

get Gearscore, it works for all levels of gear and you can still tell the difference between a 400 GS and a 320 GS right? It showed me my GS all the way to 80 just fine.

Its about deciding whether a piece of gear is an upgrade or not. Some pieces of gear got a high GS but they were a lot worse than what I was actually wearing and specced for, ie healing plate for a prot paladin.

Wrong post is wrong.

Gearscore checks the item level of your gear, and makes a "total value" score based on that. There is a "master looter" option that'll compared each toons gearscore SLOT to a new peice of gear being looted, to show if its an upgrade PURELY BASED ON ITEM LEVEL.

So before you say "innaccurate", you may want to fully understand what an addon is doing prior to commenting on it. The mod works exactly how it was designed - to compare item levels. It doesn't check stats (nor is it meant too)

...that said.

I use BIMBO and (sometimes) Gearscore. Bimbo will highlight character slots in the paperdoll page to show you items that need to be inchanted / gemmed / whatever (upgraded). And the gearscore ML option is a loose guide I use to see who needs the item the most - but its just "at a glance" - if I see an potential upgrade, I check and compare the stats prior to looting.

Gearscore is also really nice in "gear up" raids as a raid leader, because I can see everyone present and who the peice will benefit the most, and make a recommendation based on that. (I don't force anyone to do anything)

Leveling I don't worry about it, I just gear them all identically from quest drops and dungeon drops, whoever is lowest on the meters gets the upgrades.

Once I hit 80 I have a shopping list made... so I know what items I want from what dungeons before I move on to doing heroics... then it's just a matter of does the character have the item or not... doing a little legwork up front ensures you dont screw up in the dungeon.

Now add to this the fact that you can trade loot after drop now it's really hard to screw up.
