Test the upgrade before equipping it
More stats do not always mean a better Taskbar Hero item. The useful result depends on the hero, slot, existing bonuses and whether your build needs damage or survival. Gear Compare applies the TBH Calc stat model to a selected slot so you can see the estimated change rather than judging an item by grade alone.
Results separate offensive impact from effective health. This makes trade-offs visible when an item raises damage but lowers survivability, or when a defensive upgrade has little effect on your current objective.
How to compare gear
- Load your Taskbar Hero ES3 save so the calculator can read your current party and equipped items.
- Select the hero and equipment slot you want to test.
- Review candidate items and their estimated DPS and EHP deltas against the equipped item.
- Use the result with your target build and encounter needs before making the final change in game.
Understand modeled results
TBH Calc uses formulas recovered from the game binary via community documentation and checked against the in-game Status panel. The engine has automated assertions against a real save, but the output remains an estimate: encounter mechanics, skill timing and target behavior can affect practical performance.
The calculator reads the save entirely inside your browser. No save content is uploaded, and there is no account or tracking requirement.
