Maybe Score when you are sorting gear works as intended, and I do not understand how it i generated. Would have thought that if I set weight as the following:

HP = 1
Mana = 0.25

Then I would expect Score to = (HPx1) + (Mana x0.25) but does not appear to work that way, at least when you are comparing characters. Is there something missing?

Score to = ((HPx1) + (Mana x0.25)) /1.25

Looks to be dividing the formula by the overall weight.

edit: Had 1 profile with the math not working out exact, but the profile had 1 more hp than the ranking page.

A normalization factor of some sort would be fine, as long as I understood what was going on. As of now, not sure to trust the ranking.

Altreal is correct, we are using a weighted average formula to calculate the score so that it does not explode out of proportion.
