Yes, the new Badge of Justice boots, Nyn'ja's Tabi Boots, are a clear upgrade to the Edgewalkers.

I think it is worth to put that in the cat post on Page 1.

It's only the best if you powershift every single cycle. Quite unrealistic.

Done and added a note at the top of the cat post that all the recommendations are summaries for a general gear setup rather than absolutes, so it's worth checking them for your own gear. I doubt many people will as people are lazy (in general).

As for the wolfshead helm, yes, it's only good if you powershift every cycle (if you set the powershift every x cycles to 2, it drops to a value of ~270 from ~500).

The Helm increases maximum powershifting efficiency from 30 to 50 energy gained which is a huge impact. However, i can't really see me powershift that often - especially since you are bound to get into trouble with mana that way. Additionally, you lose a LOT of stats, a potential set piece and the metagem (which is about 1.5% damage by itself).

Voldin,

I was using your dps spreadsheet, v 2.3.0.1 and came across a couple of items.

1. Clicking the "Enchant" upgrade button will check both belt gems for an upgrade
2. On the "Talents" tab, my AEP for +hit is listed as .71, but when I look for gem upgrades, in all cases it lists +8 hit as an upgrade to +8 agility gems, even if I lose +4 hit for the socket bonus.
3. Setting Mangle to 0 does not affect shred dps (practically, I don't know why anyone would turn this off, but who knows)
4. Cursed Vision is not available from the helmet list.

Also a question, on the "Buffed Cycles" tab, under the FB section, the "add dmg" column has my FB as hitting for 719.1 with 4358 buffed attack power. Is the "add dmg" column the actual damage or am I reading it incorrectly?

I really like the ability to save a specific dps to be able to compare gear and upgrades. The upgrade finder is also excellent because it tells you the increase in dps both unbuffed and buffed which is extremely helpful in choosing which items to invest time into getting.

Edit: Disregard #4

CVoS is very much on Voldin's sheet.

Something's strange with his AEP values, I wouldn't trust them. Crit rating is worth more than agility, for instance. That's simply impossible.

Ah, thanks for clarifying. I didn't have the boxes checked.

So is the magle toggle used to define whether I am taking a GCD per Rip rotation to mangle? Either way, on or off my dps is staying the same.

I think I found why +crit is getting more credit in the AEP calculation. In cell C69 of tab "NextStat" (a hidden tab) it is refrencing the chance to miss box from the +1 hit calculation, cell C57 when it should be a $ cell refrence to C9. Basically the +1 crit box is taking credit for +1 hit AND +1 crit.

Edit: Also in the buffed colmun of "NextStat" the box where +1 hit is calculated and the box where +1 crit is calculated should be switched, right now as you progress down the column it is +1.1 agi, +1.1 str, +1 cr, +1 hit when it should be +1.1 agi, +1.1 str, +1 hit, +1 crit.

Maybe we should have a comparison of tier bonuses in the first post for tanking. Usually this is discussed only for dps, with the well-known 2t4 or 4t6 outcome. But for tanking I have seen little discussion, and the main problem I have is that so far I have used the "dps rule" also for tanking because it was hammered so often that I had difficulties to get away from 2t4 even for tanking :-)

Having a look at the different tier bonuses for tanking (PvE situation) we get:
- 2t4: chance to generate 10 more rage on melee attacks
- 4t4: 1400 armor
- 2t5: useless for ranks
- 4t5: +15 (damage? threat?) per application of Lacerate
- 2t6: +15% threat for Mangle
- 4t6: +15% damage for Swipe

Globally the 2t5 and 4t5 bonuses can be overlooked quite safely I think. The t4 bonuses are nice, 4t4 is easily measurable, 2t4 I am not sure how valuable it really is, since I am rarely in a low rage situation. Does it make such a big difference? For t6 they look nice but situational. I think it boilds down to how good 2t4 really is for tanking - otherwise the tier bonuses don't seem to be bringing much to the table for tanking. Is that right?

I don't have access to the T5 gear to test the 2pc bonus, but is it possible to make a macro that shifts out of bear form, casts regrowth, and then goes back into bear form? Might make a decent addition to the Healthstone/Pot panic button.
