DKTankCraft Spread Sheet - Page 2

Are there plans to continue updating this?

I know from a post made by Tantling that he intended to enjoy actually playing rather than theorising about DKs for a while. He didn't say how long he's be on sabbatical though.

I'm a bit confused as to what these "rotations" mean. For example, for a Frost build with BotN and Epidemic it suggests "PS>IT>BS>BS>OB." Does that mean I just spam those abilities over and over? Seems like with BotN and Epidemic that would be counter-productive. Additionally, one of the rotation options you have is "PS>IT>OB>OB || BS>BS>OB>OB", which doesn't make a lot of sense considering you would need to BS twice first before you could OB twice.

Am I just taking things too literally?

Fix needed:
Impurity effects disease damage and this spreadsheet doesn't have Impurity increasing the disease APC.

Yes and no. The suggested rotations are the order in which you should be using your runes. For the most part. Procs and other factors will lead you interrupting/delaying or even restarting a rotation given certain 'priority' abilities like HB or FS for example (depending on build). And thats not including factors like latency etc. Some builds (and classes) rely so much on variable cooldowns, GCD etc, that sticking to a rotation just isnt possible. Too many gaps. So you use whatever is available on a priority basis depending on the situation. Thankfully the DK isnt one of the classes that suffers from that too much.

You should be sticking to the rotation as much as possible. But dont stick to it to the extent that you need to ask if using your proc-based abilities is a good idea

So, either I'm blind or there is no way to put the 12 def enchant on your bracers currently.
It would also be nice if you could include the easy to get defense trinket from TBC quests; Dabiri's Engima and Regal protectorate as they are easy ways to get extra defense if you're lacking.

I understand the author isn't updating anymore so there are a few things you should look out for while you're using the 2007 version:

First of all some of the enchants aren't in the game yet or have been changed since beta and are not reflected on the sheet, you may change these on the gear page by scrolling down or to the right to change/add/replace items/enchants/gems.

Second of all, my base stats were different than what was already input for an Orc which lead to about 2k missing hp, you may edit these on the race page and put in your own base values.

I haven't managed to get it exactly right but the numbers are close enough to give you a good feeling as to how your gear's going to hold up, pretty useful spread sheet.

Edit: Also found that cell L11 under the gear sheet's formula is

=VLOOKUP(Helm,TGear,18,FALSE)+IF(C11="Yes",VLOOKUP(Helm,TGear,19,FALSE),0)

but should be

=VLOOKUP(B11,TGear,18,FALSE)+IF(C11="Yes",VLOOKUP(B11,TGear,19,FALSE),0)

This was causing Boundless Ambition to not grab the expertise rating it had from the item list.

For a quick fix, replace an enchant on the list with the Defense enchant. The actual enchant list is all the way down at the bottom along with the gem list.

If I get some time this weekend (since the original author has stopped maintaining it) I may make some of the most pressing changes and upload them for people to use. I'm not promising anything, and even if I do get time to do it, it will be far from perfect... more something to hold us all over until the Rawr.TankDK module is completed.

You know assuming this thing gets updated at some point again it would be really nice to see an Armory Import for it.

Coming from the Hunters I have quite often used the very excellent Cheeky's Hunter Spreadsheet. That one had armory import implemented. Do you think (assuming we can get the current maintainers permission, which is no doubt a problem), do you think we could just steal erm copy the code for the armory import or are they not compatible?

Legplates of Sovereignty Are currently not on the spread sheet.

Also is the author planning on updating this in the future or is it abandoned? Does anyone know of another spreadsheet for the same purpose that is being updated?

Armory Import would be supper as well!
