Yep, we're at it again.

I've been using your spreadsheet and advice a lot, and I'd like to be able to figure out my own theorycrafting problems so I can figure out issues specific to my character and help the community in any way I can.

If I can say one thing in reply to this, it is "AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH". With some exclamation marks throw in for good measure. I mean, it's not like I've been super secret about anything I've done or said.

So being asked to (re)summarize everything for someone else about how I do my calculations (if you don't know the basics, you shouldn't even be asking these sorts of questions, and the rest of it is just logic, if statements, and a lot of playing in Excel), dep values and so forth, especially when I haven't even finished the spreadsheet updates for 3.2.2, let alone doing a basic re-write of the TTT entry (and rebuilding the graphs used therein) is just so... AAARRRGGGHHH worthy. I have no problem with working with or helping other people with stuff, but that's been mostly to do with people that already have their own stuff that they are doing, eg: SimCraft & Rawr, and the occasional pitch in with Enhancement shaman when spell related stuff crops up.

PS: asking the same question in PM that you've been posting on the forums multiple times (in one form or another) does not give me high hopes of being able to explain all the stuff I'm doing anyway. A

PPS: If a spreadsheet on Google Docs isn't publicly viewable, then there's a reason it's not publicly viewable.

Yeah, those posts are the reason I would rather just learn it and not have to keep asking. Sorry if the math section doesn't magically give me all the answers, because I don't understand how it helps me figure out my own dep values and how you do the rotation calculations and everything. I requested access for the google docs spreadsheet because a post you had pointed someone there, and I thought I might look at it, guess not. Sorry for being a pest.

If only I'd kept all the PMs I used to get.
