The notification of an illegal build is purely a visual one in the sheet. Nothing prevents you from ordering the talents as you want.

I had tried that in Windows Explorer and it errored everytime. Changed to Firefox and it worked. Thanks

I apologize if this has been brought up but I didn't see it while skimming over. I was going through the spreadsheet and I realized that so far I only have one piece of H gear (Collar of ceaseless torment). It's showing that pretty much everything (Including the non-heroic version) is better than it. While I know that if I include heroic raids it'd be higher...I don't forsee myself getting much in the way of heroic gear for awhile and would prefer to see it in relation to the non-heroic pieces without seeing ALL of the heroic pieces. Is there a way to get around this?

Edit: I recalculated back down to non-heroic from heroic and now its doing what I wanted it to.

I have an addition I would like to suggest be included in the spreadsheet. Inlude Arcane Torrent Blood Elf racial in shot rotation tab or in the settings like the use of a mana pot. Arcane Torrent - Spell - World of Warcraft

[Knightbane Carapace] is not shown on the spreadsheet (both Alliance and Horde versions).

First of all my compliments to you, Shandara, for this excellent spreadsheet!

I think I may have found a little snag, though. Of course hit rating is very much valued if you're not hit capped, but it seems like being over the hit cap means that gear with +hit is downrated more than it should be.

After I equipped [Sparkling Onyxia Tooth Pendant] instead of [Broach of the Wailing Night], I found that the latter was displayed as more beneficial than the first. When switching the two, it was the other way round.

If I manually adjust my hit rating so 'Needed to cap Hit' is 0, the Onyxia Pendant is listed as most beneficial again, and no matter what my hit rating is, 'Hunter hit + 1' is always the most valued stat. I suspect this value needs to be changed to 0 once you're capped.

Some napkin math on Culling the Herd:
Looking at something around 20% crit rate for non-BM hunters on focus dumps, with a frequency of 1.25 (pet GCD). So uptime would be something like 1-(.8^(10/1.25))~=83% uptime. So about a 2.5% DPS increase.

Check the "Hard Modes" and "Heroic Raids" box in the upper left.

Yes I did, I forgot to tell that in my first post, my bad.

Did you then hit the Recalculate DPS button after?

It is working great now, thank you.
