WotLK DPS spreadsheet - Page 163

quick question... the in-game character sheet shows my crit at 40.06%, but the spreadsheet says I'm at 42.54%

Any idea where the discrepancy could be? Is there a talent or something that doesn't get rolled into the count in-game, similar to draenei hit racial?

Er yeah, Improved stings, the MM talent. Had those 2 mixed up.

Doy you have an on-proc crit trinket or something similar? The spreadsheet averages out the affect of such items (while the character screen in-game on shows them while they've proc'd) and that could be producing the higher rate you see

Ah, I have Darkmoon Card: Greatness. It must be factoring in the 300 agility proc. Thanks.

I can't seem to find Saronite Razorheads on the ammo combobox. Does the spreadsheet checks the type of ammo used in the ranged weapon? Should I use Mammoth Cutters to get the same values?

Hmm, it looks like only bullets are selectable right now. But yes, you will get the same result with Mammoth Cutters.

Indeed only bullets are showing. But when I imported my gear from armory, Terroshaft Arrows was auto selected. I guess it assumed the right ammo when it imported my bow. But now I changed to Mammoth Cutters and can't select the arrows again. Probably just a bug related with the type of ranged weapon not updating the ammo combo.

This is a bug yes. Will be fixed next release.

While you're at it. I believe it's just a naming bug but the Relentless Earthsiege Diamond does not display 3% crit damage increase on it's name.

Shandara, I didn't see you replying to my earlier query. The spreadsheet doesn't seem to modify piercing shot damage by Mangle/Trauma, which it should.

Hello guys,

Have a question, when looking at the spreadsheet trying to figure out what your BIS items are do u use the full 25 man buffs or no? Because according my the spreadsheet with full 25 man buffs the Tunic of indulgence is better than the t7.5 chest with and with ought the “Asuume 100% hit” but with no buffs the t7.5 chest is better in everyway. Thanks.

Well, the BIS thread specifically states which buffs and debuffs should be used in the OP.

For personal use, i would use the buffs i have regularly. Changing buffs from a 25man to a 10man raiders buff setup would significantly impact gear rankings. Just consider the impact of losing draenei buff for example.

This has been taken along for the next version.

Hi.

Is there a way to introduce a mechanical boss, or a non tracking target, to better interpret the effects of the 5% loss of improved tracking while still keeping survival instincts?

Is the settings creature type really not used? Else, the talent calculator doesn't prevent you from removing the 5 points in Imp Tracking. It will still count Survival Instincts even with those 2 points being the only survival talents.
