And here's my updated version of the mutilate spreadsheet:

It was a bit rushed, so if you see problems let me know. Thanks go to mpiemont for putting in the effort for the armour stats.

Things to know about my version:
If you're comparing dps between the original mutilate spreadsheet and mine, you'll notice you've probably lost some dps. Here's why:
a) The major loss will come because I've (hopefully) fixed up the rupture formula.
b) Spell hit buffs have been fixed (as per my last version)
c) Some gear stats have been adjusted
d) Socket bonuses* Chances are you were lazy like me and didn't bother to adjust for the various socket bonuses

*Socket bonuses:
I've made an attempt at setting up the gear socket bonuses. For this to work properly, I've changed the way gems are entered on the spreadsheet. Unlike the original version where you'd put a red gem under the blue gem column to specify that the gem is going in a blue socket, on my version, if you're putting a red gem in a blue socket you still list it under the red gem column. Hopefully from that, I haven't stuffed up the socket bonus calculations and the spreadsheet will see that you've put a red gem in a blue socket and won't give you the socket bonus.

For example, my chest piece has a red socket and a blue socket. However I have 2 red gems in it, so I've listed them both under the red gem column.

I'm sure doing it this way will come back to bite me when I try and set up the scoring closer to the combat sheet, but we'll see how we go.

And come to think of it, I'm sure I've not allowed for BS sockets. These can probably be set up the same as the belt buckle.


I haven't attempted any trinket formulas either, if you want to help by all means drop me a line.
And if you know the correct way to handle Murder too (including any feedback it generates in the cycles which is what's tripping me up trying to add it) also feel free to message me.

EDIT: And I've just noticed that I forgot about the new profession bonuses. Looks like the combat sheet doesn't have this yet either. Keep that in mind.

For MH weapons the speed is not as important as the damage range and the tooltip DPS. between a 2.6 and a 2.7 speed weapon, use the one with the highest tooltip DPS.

This has an assumption about the 2pc set bonus that has been bothering me. Not all abilities cost 40 energy. How do you really get the most out of the proc? Do you keep your cycle, ignoring the energy loss? Do you SS/Mut in place of any finisher? Maybe it's SS/Mut in place of the cheap finishers Rupture/SnD.

This strikes me as being similar to the old "how much DPS do you gain by pooling energy in conjunction with AToL procs" question. My guess is that choosing a particular attack in response to the proc is not going to increase your DPS by a terribly large percentage. As it is, most of the special attacks you're performing are going to be Sinister Strike/Mutilate. The frequency of performing a Slice and Dice or Rupture is probably something like 20-40%, so you're really losing an average of about 3-6 energy per proc. That's 7.5-15% of the theoretical value of the set bonus.

Hell, even if you use every proc for Slice and Dice, you only lose 37.5% of the bonus's value.
