The Archon Tooltip Addon
We are excited to open up early access to the Archon Tooltip Addon! This is a feature we've been working on - our in-game addon!
This early release is currently in CLOSED BETA and is currently only available for Season of Discovery. We will be expanding it to the other WoW games and making it more widely available after some alpha testing!

This works both on hover tooltips:
Shift-clicking names in-game shows you the progress and Best Avg % for every spec they play:
It also works with the guild window, and holding down Shift expands the info too.
You can also right-click to open the menu and get a "Copy WCL URL" to easier check a character page on the website for more details.

FAQ
How Long Will This Be in Closed Beta?
While we don't have an exact ETA, we're working on expanding to the other games as soon as possible, while working through the bugs we might find in early access.
Why Are You Releasing an Addon?
We've had it on our to-do list for a while, especially as the community repeatedly requested and attempted it themselves through scraping our site or abusing our API. That is not a feasible way to keep up to date, and it has been expensive for us to try to prevent. We're doing it ourselves as it is the only way to feasibly provide all this data, and we're hoping this can open up to even more in-game addon features in the future.
