Does itemscore really mean anything useful on diabloprogress?

I don't see a definite pattern. Is low itemscore good? Is a high itemscore good? Does it tell me what I should upgrade next? If so, is it saying i should upgrade my weapon or my left rare ring? Also, what is the difference between heroscore and itemscore?

Thanks guys!

the higher the item score, the better. generally that would be the case but depending on what you specifically want to ugprade, maybe higher item score does not suit your build/play style.
item score is the value of total dps and effective hp combined an item has to offer. the more it offers, the higher the item score.

your wizard is extremely close to mine, you can compare if you'd like:

you would probably want to swap out your weapon first. its holding you back. try to aim for a weapon at around 1900 itemscore, it will increase the dps of all of your items. after the weapon, swap out the offhand. worry about the left ring later.
pox is fine but it would be the next viable upgrade after you've changed the first 3.
i should prob spend some igg on my char but i have an excessive greed over fg. most of my stuff is found or given to me from friends that quit. except the weapon and chest,those are bought with my blood, sweat and tears.

EDIT:
has anyone found an uber build thats non critical mass. and is successful with it?

Thanks.

Haaaalpp I still die in mp5 I know I need resists/life steal but I don't know what else to do without spending 13 mil on 1 item that boosts my dps 1k and gives me 40 resists.

Get a triumvate with way higher average damage. You'll see like a 12k upgrade.

Considering that you have ~195K EHP, you should probably do exactly that.

Question about cm wizards

do you need 2.73 aps for perma freeze or is 2.72 good enough?
