Pet Power Calculator - http://www.uocraft.com/taming/pet-power-calculator/
* Calculator now ranks pets on a 5-star basis
* Resists = 65% of the score
* Hit points = 25% of the score
* Stats = 10% of the score, unless skills are entered, in which case stats = 5% and skills = 5%
* Min and max skill numbers have been updated on -most- pets to reflect the 10% decrease in skills upon taming. (I'm working on updating them all - though this is such a small difference when skills are only weighted at 5% that it doesn't really affect the score).
* Input form now includes a field for your pet's name
* Pet name displays on result page and on printout
* Thanks have been added to the notes at the bottom of the front page
This calculator now clocks in at 1,258 lines of code
In terms of usability, here's my ballpark pet ratings:
5 stars = perfect pet (just about impossible - literally perfect)
4 stars = exceptional pet
3 stars = good pet (personally, I'd say 3.4+ is a keeper)
2 stars = below average pet
1 star = relatively useless pet in battle, unless you're just keeping it for looks
Thanks again to everybody, especially Baldguy at UOForums.com and Llewen in the Stratics tamer forum, for all the help on this calculator!
