TY guys soo much. Our guild just got back from college, another tank, moving me to #4, and I just today realized how much BiS gear I have already for cat DPS (with 4T8.5) and all, so I am in the middle of re-enchanting all my tier for DPS, only Question I have, is for full cat gear, once I have achieved the ArPen Cap 556 from what I understand, I then start stacking Agi, not Str?

got it, last Q, is 4p t8 > ArPen ( ie, have chest & shoulders from 25-uld w/ arpen increase on them, but then I would loose 4 p bonus...should I wear the tier, or the other 2 pieces for arpen until other gear allows me to put the tier back on

Pretty much every list I see has Icewalker as the boot enchant instead of +16agi. Why is that? I thought I read somewhere in this thread that we should never gem/enchant +hit, since there's enough native hit on gear, and its not that big a deal to be slightly under hit cap. So wouldn't that make the +agi enchant better than Icewalker?

@Skibo, It would without a doubt be a better damage increase to use the 4p t8 over stacking offset ArP pieces, at this point at least. With the addition of higher item level pieces with increased stats it may be that using only tier pieces with ArP is a viable alternative. The 4piece was such a tremendous upgrade for me, I personally saw a 300dps increase on a training dummy, I couldn't say everyone could expect a jump that large but it helped make my rotation a lot more fluid, I never really have to worry with SR its more of a set-it-and-forget-it kinda thing now.

@Cal - I believe Icewalker is a viable alternative to using 16 agility because it is a very small amount of agility to give up for +hit and an almost equal amount of +crit. You can, ofcourse, use 16 agility on boots, its a matter of preference, but you will find with the BiS gear sets you will more then likely be hurting for +hit (thought you do not have to be capped) and this is a very very small sacrifice that would not be a noticeable dps loss/increase.

It's 566. 1231 (cap) - 665 (mjolnir) = 566.

That's what I just wanted to correct as well.
And to be precise:

The cap is 1231.6, which should be rounded to 1232.
Therefor the cap is actually 566.6.

Whether you want to "waste" 0.4 ArPen by going for 567 (actually only waste it during Mjolnir Procc) or want to miss out the possible upgrade of 0.6 ArPen should be your own decision.

By the way, Grim Toll still proccs with 612 ArPen, as far as I know. So if you are still using GT instead of the Runesteone, your cap would be 619.6

Hey thank you so much for the work you've put into this. I just have a couple of questions. The first one is probably due to my lack of programming experience but I am trying to compile the c++ code and i can not find the file mtrand.h, am i just missing it somehow or do i need to download it from somewhere else? Second, I am pretty new to theorycrafting and was wondering if someone could explain what is meant by "trinket soft cap". Thanks in advance for the answers to what I am sure are nooby questions.

On the XT-002 fight, the feralbynight box that shows the suggested next move does not work on the heart (but does work on the boss).

I was not able to find any mention of this in the thread and wanted to know if this is a known problem or if reinstalling the addon will make it go away.

It does definitely work on the heart.

This may seem like a silly quetsion: is the link to the FBN-Addon from April 20th on the first page still the most updated one or did I miss in the 31 pages of this discucion a new version of the addon?

With the addon, would it be possible to add a "MangleBot" mode that increases the priority of Mangle in the rotation? Currently, it allows some downtime on Mangle if refreshing Rip etc would provide a personal DPS benefit.

However, with 3 kitty druids in the raid like we had last night, letting mangle drop off for a few seconds would be a decrease in overall raid damage (and earn me the aggro of my fellow druids!). Obviously, I can manually keep track of mangle etc, but that kind of defeats the purpose of the addon.
