These changes, if correct, increase my DPS by 4.59% (213 DPS) as combat fist/dagger (KT Reach and WD). A small change in rotation is also needed.

I would say this is a significant increase (if the modifications to the sheet are correct).

Well, plugging in these (upcoming)changes (plus the 25->32 crit change to skinning) makes my current weapon choices;
LPC(mongoose)-IP / Anarchy(berserking)-DP about 2% worse than LPC(mongoose)-IP / LPC(mongoose)-IP.

/cry

edit: ofc I forgot to change using Evis instead of Envenom, which leads to a dps decrease. Post can be ignored

Sorry for another post, but while looking at the calculations for Evis, I noticed it was getting multiplied by 5% of AP per CP, I downloaded a new sheet and this showed the same. Didn't you change this to be 7% per CP?
Envenom does show 7% of AP per CP, a mixup?

Did you change it so the sheet assumes the target is poisoned when you're using instant?

Did not, thanks for spotting, I should get to know the sheet abit better before fiddling with it
Would omitting the OR statement in the Mutilate total-dps calc do this, or is more needed?

That would do it. It basically multiplies the bonus by either 1 or 0 depending on the conditional.

Per recent testings, it seems that the Eviscerate tooltip is actually wrong.

However, by looking at the formula in Aldriana's spreadsheet, it looks like it uses 28% AP, so perhaps we could use some clarification on this matter.

That's because, logically speaking, the only Eviscerate you should ever need to do in a IP/DP/Envenom cycle is a 4-pointer.

Hey all,

After making the changes for 40% SnD and the nerfed Muti / buffed HfB as illustrated earlier in this thread, I further modified cell C7 on all 3 DPS calculations to reflect 2% haste per point into lightning reflexes. Unsurprisingly, this shows that a 13/51/7 combat dagger spec dethrones 51/13/7 muti by over 1%. This is before the upcoming changes to Killing Spree (+20% dmg boost for 2.5 seconds), which would only broaden the margin between the two specs.

I was wondering if anyone else had played with the spreadsheet and has found similar results.

All the best,

Shai



EDIT: a 15/51/5 spec with 3/5 RA comes up as half a percent better than 13/51/7.

I just modified my spreadsheet to see if combat daggers would be better and I did not find the same results as you. Mutilate still pulls ahead... although it could be because I modified mine incorrectly.

Mutilate was at 6045 dps and combat daggers was at 5549 dps on murderable mobs. On non murderable mobs mut pulled a 5686 dps. With best in slot gear.

It's not obvious whatsoever, until we know exactly what 3.1 will contain for changes. The preview is just that, so we shouldn't be making absolute statements with regards to superior prospective builds.
