World of Warcraft Rogue DPS Spreadsheet and DPS Calculator

3.3.5 Rogue DPS Spreadsheet is update

2010-07-07T14:55:00.004-04:00

The Rogue DPS Spreadsheet is updated for 3.3.5.
There's even a mode to view it with WoW Expansion Cataclysm Talent Tree.

2.3 Updated

2007-11-18T02:33:00.002-05:00

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

2007-09-27T16:13:00.001-04:00

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

2007-05-31T16:22:00.001-04:00

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

2007-04-01T21:46:00.001-04:00

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

2007-02-11T04:55:00.002-05:00

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

2007-01-16T00:22:00.001-05:00

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.

DPS AEP (Agility Equivalent Points)

2006-10-29T23:48:00.001-05:00

I wanted to add an AEP system, but it would be difficult and annoying for any futur changes because of the way I programmed it.

So here is how to count your own DPS AEP:

Suggested way:
Enter the values of weapons and Stats and talents. Exclude poisons and openers by running at 420s.
Run the calculator and note the line "Total" which is now considered as "Base DPS".

Count with extra 10 agility (don't forget +10 agi also gives 10 AP bonus)
Variation_+10agi = New Total - "Base DPS".
Count with minus 10 agility (don't forget -10 agi also gives 10 AP penality)
Variation_-10agi = "Base DPS" - New Total.
Variation_AGI = (Variation_+10agi + Variation_-10agi) /20 (This value is the DPS you get for the variation of 1 agility).

Count with extra 10 Attack Power.
Variation_+10AP = New Total - "Base DPS".
Count with minus 10 Attack Power.
Variation_-10AP = "Base DPS" - New Total.
Variation_AP = (Variation_+10AP + Variation_-10AP) /20 (This value is the DPS you get for the variation of 1 Attack Power).
AEP_AP = Variation_AP / Variation_AGI

Count with extra 1 Crit.
Variation_+1Crit = New Total - "Base DPS".
Count with minus 1 Crit.
Variation_-1Crit = "Base DPS" - New Total.
Variation_Crit = (Variation_+1Crit + Variation_-1Crit) /2 (This value is the DPS you get for the variation of 1 Crit).
AEP_Crit = Variation_Crit / Variation_AGI

Count with extra 1 Hit.
Variation_+1Hit = New Total - "Base DPS".
Count with minus 1 Hit.
Variation_-1Hit = "Base DPS" - New Total.
Variation_Hit = (Variation_+1Hit + Variation_-1Hit) /2 (This value is the DPS you get for the variation of 1 Hit).
AEP_Hit = Variation_Hit / Variation_AGI

My results:
GM Dirk MH & OH. No poisons.
381agi, 993AP, 12%hit, 7%Crit. Rank 9 Backstab.
Primary finisher: Slice and Dice.
Talents: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/rogue/talents.html?005023104000000320305002055010022105000000000000000
Time of fight 420s, Main skill: Backstab.

Base DPS = 582.3 DPS
Variation_+10agi = 586.66 - 582.38 = 4.28 (391agi, 1003AP, 12%hit, 7%Crit)
Variation_-10agi = 582.38 - 578.10 = 4.28 (371agi, 983AP, 12%hit, 7%Crit)
Variation_AGI = (4.28 + 4.28) /20 = 0.428
Variation_+10AP = 585.10 - 582.38 = 2.72 (381agi, 1003AP, 12%hit, 7%Crit)
Variation_-10AP = 582.38 - 579.65 = 2.73 (381agi, 983AP, 12%hit, 7%Crit)
Variation_AP = 0.2725
AEP_AP = 0.2725 / 0.428 = 0.6367 (This is your DPS AEP for 1AP)
Variation_+1Crit = 586.93 - 582.38 = 4.55 (381agi, 993AP, 12%hit, 8%Crit)
Variation_-1Crit = 582.38 - 577.82 = 4.56 (381agi, 993AP, 12%hit, 6%Crit)
Variation_Crit = 4.555
AEP_Crit = 4.555 / 0.428 = 10.64 (This is your DPS AEP for 1Crit)
Variation_+1Hit = 585.39 - 582.38 = 3.01 (381agi, 993AP, 13%hit, 7%Crit)
Variation_-1Hit = 582.38 - 579.37 = 3.01 (381agi, 993AP, 11%hit, 7%Crit)
Variation_Hit = 3.01
AEP_Hit = 3.01 / 0.428 = 7.03 (This is your DPS AEP for 1Hit)

So for MY BUILD AND GEAR, my DPS AEP is:
0.6367AP = 1agi
1 Crit = 10.64agi
1Hit = 7.03agi

So the DPS AEP of a Bloodfang Chest:
12str * 0.6367 = 7.64
26agi * 1 = 26
1%crit * 10.64 = 10.64
2%hit * 7.03 = 14.06
Total = 58.34 AEP

Of course a dead rogue DPS is 0, so you can always add a value for stamina. Personally, i'm happy as long as I have ~4500hp unbuffed.

1.12 & Expansion Calculator is out

2006-09-23T16:31:00.001-04:00

DPS Calculator for 1.12 and expansion talents is unploaded.

A few Specifications:
Disembowel: Attack power scaling is unknown, so it is simulated as identical to Eviscerate. Target is presumed to have 5/5 application of Deadly poison on it (because of how poisons are programmed, it is very difficult to include Disembowel).

Improved Kidney Shot damage was impossoble to include it directly into skills (because of DoT skills), so the total damage is multiplied by the time Kidney Shot was active.

Mutilate is counted with Weapons Speed Normalization.

Shiv is counted without Weapon Speed Normalization.

Surprise Attacks is not Evaluated. I am still unsure how I want to intergrate Surprise Attacks since mob defenses aren't taken into consideration. For a good estimation, you could manually count it as 5% more damage while using Sinister Strike and Backstab on most monsters and characters not based on agility.

World of Warcraft patch 1.12 has a bug with Deadliness. It doesn't affect Rupture, Garotte or Range attack power. So it has been removed from the calculator to emulate the game as most as possible. Once the bug is fixed, it will be fixed in the calculator as well.

Next Version of Calculator

2006-09-17T02:19:00.001-04:00

Next version should come out in a few days or weeks. That new version will include The Burning Crusades talent calculator found at:
https://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/bc-rogue/talents.html

I'm still figuring out the numbers for each point of eviscerate. If anyone in Alexstrasza wanna help me its appreciated. Its hard to get someone to stay still naked for hours being bashed on with eviscerates, while eating between each dual.

This is what I found up to now, numbers are still being evaluated:
5 points: 0.150*AttackPower
4 points: 0.100*AttackPower
3 points: 0.075*AttackPower or 0.035*AttackPower
2 points: 0.050*AttackPower or 0.020*AttackPower
1 point : 0.010*AttackPower

Oh yea, Deadliness is bugged, very bugged:
Deadliness extra 10% Attack power is not affecting: Rupture or Garotte.
Possibly Eviscerate and other abilities.

Tested with 1000 AP including the 10% from deadliness and 3/3 Serrated Blades and 5/5 Deadliness and 5/5 Opportunity:

Rupture was tested with 100 ticks for each Combo point.
Rupture 1 point: 401 dmg
Rupture 2 point: 612 dmg
Rupture 3 point: 868 dmg
Rupture 4 point: 1085 dmg
Rupture 5 point: 1324 dmg
Garotte: 858 dmg

When counting as 1000/1.1 = 909 Attack power, those numbers fit exactly the formulas that I have found while testing without talents:
Rupture 1 Point: (272 + 0.04AP) * (1+ Serrated Blades * 0.1)
Rupture 2 Point: (380 + 0.10AP) * (1+ Serrated Blades * 0.1)
Rupture 3 Point: (504 + 0.18AP) * (1+ Serrated Blades * 0.1)
Rupture 4 Point: (644 + 0.21AP) * (1+ Serrated Blades * 0.1)
Rupture 5 Point: (800 + 0.24AP) * (1+ Serrated Blades * 0.1)
Garotte: (552 + 0.18AP) * (1+ opportunity * 0.04)

Deadliness doesn't Affect Range Attack power.
Deadliness doesn't show in the spellbook.

The bug was posted at:

The 123 of Enchants

2006-07-26T21:10:00.001-04:00

Daggers: 95-143 2.0
Agi:367 AP:930 %hit:8 %crit:9 MH:Deadly OH:Instant
SnD/None/420/Backstab R9/BFPoison

Normal DPS:608.3

15 agi: +6.1 DPS
+5 MH : +6.7 DPS
+5 OH : +2.7 DPS
LS MH : +7.7 DPS
LS OH : +3.8 DPS
Cr MH : +6.5 DPS
Cr OH : +3.2 DPS

Best choice for DPS is : Lifestealing on Main Hand and +15 agi Off Hand.
Best choice overall is Dual Lifestealing.

Using procs that i've seen for a long time for LS:
Dual Lifestealing on 2.0 weapons : 625 hits * .26 proc rate * 30 / 420 = 11.6DPS
Dual Lifestealing on 2.9 weapons : 488 hits * .33 proc rate * 30 / 420 = 11.5DPS
Very constant. So: MH: 7.66 DPS OH: 3.83 DPS

Crusader (1 Proc per minute MH):
+100AP = 25.8 DPS * 15 / 60 = 6.45 DPS MH (3.225 OH)

Results might vary with different gear.

Full 1.12 Calculator is out

2006-07-19T08:39:00.001-04:00

I have updated the first mirror link of http://pvp.net.tf fully functionnal with the 1.12 Patch Test Realm (PTR). Eviscerate Rank 9 was added just now into the calculator.

Other mirrors still host the 1.11 version with some of the 1.12 options.

I added a Copy Paste URL from the http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/rogues2/talents.html? to automatically change the talent trees. If you want to reset the talent trees, just add A LOT (50) zeros at the end of the ? or copy the reset URL from the site.

1.12 Attack Power scaling with Eviscerate

2006-07-18T05:00:00.001-04:00

Below are the current values that we are currently working with for the scaling of Garrote, Eviscerate, and Rupture with Attack Power. As with everything in the review, these are subject to change.

The original thread detailing the most recent changes announced for the review can be found here: https://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?fn=wow-rogue&t=1337254

Clue World of Warcraft
How is AP scaling with Eviscerate.

I suggest it was Professor Foreshadow, in the Scarlet Monastery, with the worn dagger (1-2dmg)

Additionnal cards:
Hemo/Ghoslty Strike when up
974 Attack Power
Level 30-35 elites

Eviscerate: 87 hits (32 Crits)
Max Dmg: 1190
Avg Dmg: 981
Max Crit Dmg: 2400
Avg Crit Dmg: 2013

Hemorrhage: 244 (87 Crits)
Avg Dmg: 104
Avg Crit: 230

Ghostly Strike: 70 Hits (22)
Avg Dmg: 125
Avg Crit: 292

Bloodfang procs: 20 (4 Crits)
Avg Dmg: 275
Avg Crit: 541

What affects dmg:
Hemorrhage on target: +7 Dmg
Murder: Still unclear with tooltip (specifies 2% but the talent tree says 4% more damage)
Improved Eviscerate: +15% Dmg
Lethality: +30% on crits

Average Hemorrhage: (1.5+974/14*1.6)+7 = 119.8 -> *2.3 (lethality) = 275.6
Mitigation of Hemorrhage: 104/119.8 = 86.8%, 230/275.6 = 83.5%

Average Ghostly Strike: ((1.5+974/14*1.6)+7)*1.25 = 149.8 -> *2.3 (lethality) = 344.4
Mitigation of Hemorrhage: 125/149.8 = 83.4%, 292/344.4 = 84.8%

Average total Mitigation:
[(157 * 86.8) + (87 * 83.5) + (48 * 83.4) + (22 * 84.8)] / [157+87+48+22] =
(13627.6 + 7264.5 + 4003.2 + 1865.6) = 26760.9 / (314) = 85.23%

Eviscerate informations from Drysc:
851 + 0.15AP = 851 + 0.15*974 = 851 + 145.1 = 996.1 * 1.15 = 1145.52
-> 1145.52 * 0.8523 = 976.3
976.3 VS the 981 I got.

851 + 0.15AP = 851 + 0.15*974 = (1992.2 * 1.15) * 2 = 2291
-> 2291 * 0.8523 = 1952.7
1952.7 VS the 2013 I got.

Using the max damage on tooltip:
984 + 0.15AP = 984 + 0.15*974 = 984 + 145.1 = 1093 * 1.15 = 1257.1
-> 1257.1 * 0.8523 = 1071.4(2142.9) VS 1190(2400) I got.

Conclusion, the Eviscerate is pretty much the same formula Drysc announced on the forums. As for the maximum damage on each hit, I must have done them on the casters where the armor mitigation is lower than the average mob.

Realm forums

2006-07-15T13:22:00.001-04:00

I have posted on each realm forum about my calculator. It has helped alot for publicity because the Rogue Discussion is impossible to pass a message because of the number of posts about nerfs/buffs/patch 1.12/fanbois praising Blizzard for the slightest changes.

I am currently checking and replying to my post on each and every server now and then. I might be posting a message that I will stop monitoring next thursday if there is no more replies.

Rogue DPS Calculator

2006-07-08T09:03:00.001-04:00

Rogue DPS Calculator:
http://pvp.net.tf

Some code will be posted in the next post.

Possibilities of this calculator:

Sustained and burst damage.

Use of every single skill and talent that can affect your gameplay.

Intelligent use of skills and abilities for the fight.

Specification of which abilities you use and how you use them.

Include opening moves for burst DPS.

Include your armor sets.

Choose between normalized fights or simulated fights.

Save the combat log of the fight. Easy copy and paste in Excel.

A table to show DPS for each skill if spammed, another to show the DPS from the results of the fight.

Help included:

The Tables are automatically updated once the CALCULATE button is pressed.

Mouse over any items in the 'Openers/Fight Specifications/Fight Rules/Equipment' table for 2 seconds for a brief desciption of the ruleset of the DPS calculations.

Requires Javascript to work. Works well with Firefox/Mozilla.

'Mainhand weapon/Offhand weapon' Table : Insert your main hand and off hand weapon statistics

'Stats (excl. talents)/Skills (lvl 60 opponent only)' Table: Insert your character attributes (from the character pane (press C by default)), Improves your chance to get a critical strike by 1%, Improves your chance to hit by 1%, Increase weapon skill from items and racials. Skills to weapons are exact for level 60 opponents.

'Assassination/Combat/Subtlety' Table: Please fill in every talent skill you want to use for the DPS calculator. Please verify that if you want a talent to be used it must be selected in both tables (example: Preperation, Premedition, Cold Blood).

'Openers/Fight Specifications/Fight Rules/Equipment' Table: Every item on this table has an abbreviation code (mouse over for 2 seconds for a brief help).
'Openers' Table: is only for 30s, 60s, 120s fight. This is for Burst DPS (ie. PvE farming and PvP).

'Fight Specifications' Table: Which skills you want to use to view the overall DPS results in the 'DPS of the fight'. This helps to know which is the best skills/talents to use for your current build and itemization.

'Fight Rules' Table: This table is to view and add different aspects of the fight. This is where you pick if you want to use as main skill Sinister Strike, Backstab or Hemorrhage. There is also a pick on how the fight will be calculated (Simulation is not working at the moment).

'Equipment' Table: Include the sets that you are wearing to have a direct impact on the DPS calculation. (Looking into adding Bloodfang 8 set and Shadowcraft/Darkmantle 35 energy regeneration).

'DPS for each skill if constantly used when available' Table: This is to give the results of maximum DPS a skill can do if constantly used when available (SPAM).

'DPS of the fight' Table: Shows the results of your real DPS from all the options selected throughout all of the tables. Easy Copy/Paste in Excel.

'Results of the fight (Combat Log)' Table: Shows every aspect and skills used for the DPS calculation that was simulated.

1.12 update once the chages are known.

Calculate AEP and linked to the site with all the equipment sorted as the AEP values given by the DPS calculator. Will only be available once 1.12 comes out.

Adding the 8/8 Bloodfang set bonus and the Shadowcraft/Darkmantle 35 energy proc. Still evaluating the proc rate.

Possibility to save a text/Excel format of the results and to save builds into cookies to be reloaded with the page.

Ability to import directly the string from the worldofwarcraft.com talent calculator.

Known issues:

Sword Specialization: Doesn't reset the swing as it does in the game, so the DPS calculated from white damage is slightly higher than it should be.

Simulations: Doesn't affect white damage.

Simulations: Doesn't count the miss rate if the hit is under 100%, but instead the damage is multiplied by the chance to hit for special attacks. Loss of damage is too great for such a low %miss. So it is possible to get a damage lower than the minimum shown in the 'DPS for each skill if constantly used when available' table.")
