Could you send me the file that shows you the wasp gaining even though there’s already a minor armor debuff on the boss?

(he plays WoW obviously) I discovered that when I ran it now I was loosing 200dps when switching from wolf to wasp. Luckily it didn’t take to long for me to see why. The average abilities over time box was checked on, when turned off the wasp was now 2 dps gained. We both concluded that the dps spreadsheet is nice but has lots of pitfalls that could easily be overlooked and that it should not be looked at as a definate answer to all situations.

Still need a few more armor pen upgrades before I push arcane back out of my rotation.

WIth proper raid debuffs (Sunder/Expose Armor, Feral Faerie Fire/Curse of Weakness), the wolf should always be ahead due to Furious Howl stacking with other AP buffs.

First, you have to be in a long enough fight that you need to go into viper when you can use kill shot. Typically, this means the replenishment buff and judgment of wisdom debuff can not be present. In that case, int’s extra mana pool will give you more fight DPS than agility. Still, this would only help in reality on the very rare fights that match the simulator settings exactly.

tl;dr- make sure you have all the buffs and debuffs set up properly and try again.

Interestingly I went to the femaledwarf site and followed a link hunterloot.com/gearplanner and it showed that I would release DPS upgrades by gemming the new +20 intellect gem in place of my existing AGI gems (regardless of slot colour). In all my reading I’ve never once come across the need for hunters to gem for intellect? I’m SV, is this something perhaps for an MM build?
Cheers,
WH.
