Power Leveling help - rule of 8 (or 7 or 6)

[Dafabb]

Hey Andy - love the tool here, use it a bunch. I am curious if you have considered adding in some additional tips for Power Leveling?

The core for power leveling rule of 8 (now 7 or 6 in Beyond Light) is described by many folks, including Kacksis here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyidkX5-08U

The idea is, your tool already shows the current base level, and it would be helpful to make it obvious what +number is for each character. For example, my Titan is base light 1225.5 and my highest items (the measure ignores all items <= avg) are 1227 (+2), 1226 (+1), 1226 (+1), 1228 (+3) == +7.

Generally when +# is >=7 in Beyond Light (or 6 if individuals want to stretch), it is time to grind for "catchup" engrams/drops vs doing powerful or pinnacle. This is to save Power/Pinnacle for times when it is most likely to make the greatest impact and normal world drops are likely to "catchup" the items.

Hope this makes sense. It is just a touch confusing to internalize, but when the tool just tells u the number and offers the recommendation, it can make it super-easy for people.

Again, great tool

I hadn't heard of that theory at all - I'll look into it and see if it makes sense to add to the site.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Along these lines, I would love to see some visual indication for slots that are below average. Maybe even replace "Lowest Items" (and sort in ascending order).

Additionally, it would be nice to calculate and show if pulling up slots below average to your current level would cause your level to go up. (If not - there's no point in chasing catch-up drops)
