Read it again. He's pointing out that the spreadsheet tells that equipping the downgrade will boost his DPS.

That's either a straight-out bug, or else it's hitting a border condition with the haste.

It was done this way, but this led to poor calculations, due to the way it dealt with hit rating.

Now, it swaps in each item, re-gems your gear, and calculates the DPS. This has poor calculations,...

Re-gemmer problems make gear-planner problems

The re-gemmer consistently makes certain mistakes that lead to a sub-optimal gem setup. For instance, it insists on putting a Deadly Ametrine and Delicate Cardinal Ruby in my Darkcore Leggings. ...

Because we won't, always.

First of all, if you're way over the hit cap, with no hit enchants or gems left to swap out, nothing you do will help, short of swapping in different pieces of...

A hit cap example

It occurred to me that I should provide an example to show just how useless the gear planner currently is in some circumstances.

The gear planner shows the Surge Needle Ring to be a 2 DPS downgrade...

About the hit cap

I'm with you. This would be a simple way to make the gear planner estimate the effects of re-gemming around the hit cap that always happens.

As it stands, the gear planner, regardless of which hit...

Hmmm. So, is Agility currently beating Crit Rating in all cases? If not, it seems like Chaotic Skyflare Diamond would be a good choice.

2-roll?

Imagine some total BS numbers: 130% crit rate and 50% miss rate, with everything left over as hits.

The misses (in my theory) then push some crits off of the table, to make room for...

One-roll or two-roll?

That still sounds like evidence that misses push crits off the table. Am I missing something here?

I'm not saying that it isn't a two-roll system.... I'm just wondering if this is "for sure".
