I was considering buying another one based on this line of thinking, but do you all think that would be worth it?
The modeling in the sheet is not correct if its dual wielded. It would not be hard to fix, but I figured it was unique when i did it and did not think to make it work that way.

Seems like there should be a work-around for this.
The number off yellow attacks comes from the cycle sheet. The cycle sheet needs to have the amount of armor applied before it chooses its best cycle because rupture is not affected by armor, which means to choose the correct cycle depends on armor. So, when trying to model that, you would have circular references, ie you would have to estimate the number of attacks per second based on the build (which would not be hard, but does mutilate count as 1 or 2 attacks?) This is how TNB is modeled.
