Hi, first time using the spreadsheet so this may be a silly question, but here goes.

I've cleared the spreadsheet and set up all the tabs as per my current char (including shot rotations etc.) and whilst the Pet dps calculations seem to be almost spot on compared to some training dummy tests I've done, my own dps seems to be considerably out.

Now I know this may be because I'm nit the perfect hunter ;-) however the discrepency is over 10% and as far as I can tell unlike my test dummy runs the spreadsheet is never modelling me go into viper aspect.

Looking at the shot rotation tab the Aspect usage has the following values (the values also don't change when I change the aspect usage setting - although the title cell does).

Aspect Usage (mode: Viper - Regen)	
Viper Regen                       569.26
Normal Regen                      14.77
Regen from Mana Potion            0.00
Mana Expenditure                  167.20
Time to Full                      25.94
Time to OOM                       70.92
Viper time needed to last fight   29.21
Aspect of the Beast Uptime        0.00%
Viper Uptime                      0.00%
Hawk Uptime                       100.00%
Viper Damage Penalty              0.00%
Aspect of the Beast AP bonus      0.00%
Aspect of the Hawk Penalty        0.00

So my question is, if it knows 'viper time to last fight' is ~30 seconds why is viper uptime 0% and Hawk uptime 100%.

Am i just completely missing the point?
