2.3 Updated


The calculator has been updated and uploaded after spending the day on it.

The new version has the following additions:
Mace spec changed.
Aggression added to backstab.
Hemo changed.
Shadowstep can be used for almost all attacks.
Haste Rating added.
Slayer 2 and 4 piece set added.

Dirty Deeds was included as a 35% of fight time extra damage at the end. It was hard finding a way that wouldn't take a week of programming to change everything and adding new options. So it was patched.

Combat potency already had the miss rate included, so it was unchanged.

Patch 2.3


I will not upgrade my calculator in advance like I did in the past patches with major rogue changes. I will however try to find time to change it ASAP when 2.3 comes out. Last time I updated for patch notes, I had a lot of programming done for nothing and had to revert or change too much code.

Sword spec


Sword specialization doesn't need to be updated on the calculator, as it was already included as no swing reset. View the Help for more information.

For more information, view these specifications in the Help:
Specific notes: For Glancing blows
Known issues: For Sword Specialization

2.10 Version is out


Well first of all I want to thank Ming for posting a post of my DPS Calculator on his well known to rogues blog website. You can view the post at:
http://www.worldofming.com/?p=420


The 2.10 doesn't have much new content, but here it is:
Tweaked the critical strike from agility. (previously gave more crit per agility point for very high agility stats).
Hit% is now modified with decimals. (Previously only counted as whole values (intergers instead of floating points)).
Netherblade 2 and 4 set bonus.
Deathmantle 2 set bonus.


Removed a few mirrors that changed the passwords because I don't check the emails associated to those mirrors.

Discovered a few bugs


While testing the full calculator, I noticed 2 bugs that came in the calculator when I did the transition from 1.12 to 2.05.

Kidney Shot finisher isn't accurate.
Hit Rating only changes the DPS when the actual hit% changes to the other %. Bascally it only counts the absolute value of the hit% instead of taking into account the fractions. I will notify when fixed.

2.05 Calculator is out


New on the 2.05 version over the 2.03:
Mutilate OH damage is greatly affected by Dual Wield specialization.
OH damage: (Weapon + AP/14*1.7) * (0.5+DWS*0.05) + (101 * (1 + DWS*0.1))
That means that a 5/5 DWS gives 151 damage on the OH mutilate damage. Not only that DWS affects Mutilate in a great way, but aslo white damage.

Dual Wield Specialization VS Opportunity:
Real fast calc:
Dual GM Shanker: Average damage (103+155)/2 = 129 with 1260 AP

DWS:
MH: (129+ 1260/14*1.7) + 101 = 383
OH: (129+ 1260/14*1.7) * (0.5+5*0.05) + (101 * (1 + 5*0.1)) = 363
Total: 746

Opportunity:
MH: (129+ 1260/14*1.7) + 101 = 383 * 1.2 = 460
OH: (129+ 1260/14*1.7) * (0.5) + 101 = 242 * 1.2 = 290
Total: 750


Basically the lower average damage your OH weapon has, the more damage you will do with mutilate. But that doesn't compare with the increased white damage that you get from the DWS. And since you get DWS, you probly have SnD as well that makes quite a difference in PvE.

So if your into 100% PvP, pick Subtlety for the PvP oriented abilities, else go for Combat and DWS.


Well this is the same description as the 2.03, but I havn't posted the info on the blog.
