Good afternoon all,

I have been reading the MM thread for information on MM dsp v/s SV dps. As I understand it MM is only better when you are Arm Pen capped. I am at 318 Arm Pen now, but when I run the numbers on Zeherah's Hunter DPS Analyzer it tells me MM is better by about 400ish dps, even though I am not Arm Pen capped, and I don't have the best Arm Pen trinkets.

My questions is: Am I doing something wrong on the spreadsheet that would produce eroneous numbers or is MM actually better than SV even if you are not Arm Pen capped?

MM build/glyphs used in spreadsheet:

Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft

Assumed best raid buffs/debuffs

Shot rotation:

Rapid Fire > KS > SrS > CS > AS > ArS + Silenc Shot > Readiness (just inserted it here in the rotation) > SS

Came out to 6581 dps

SV build/glypsh just lick my profile (standard build with KS/SS/ES glyphs)

Rapid Fire > KS > ES > BA > AS > SrS > SS

Came out to 6150 dps

Everything I have read says SV should be better dps before you are Arm Pen capped. So, again, am I setting up a rotation that isn't obtainable, or doing something weird that would skew the numbers. Let me know.

Edit: Well I must have done something wrong to begin with. Now I am getting 6946 from SV and 6502 from MM with the builds listed above. /sigh.

Saved my builds at Zeherah's Hunter DPS Analyzer

Sapp SV Build
Sapp MM Build

I will do some checking within this thread to see if I can determine at what lvl gear MM represents more dps than SV. Thanks to any and all that can offer help.
