Tried using the one that you download in Excel format and it was pretty nutty. this was very clean and simple, with the only problem being you couldnt insert custom figures for armor not yet available. very awesome.

The author had posted a link in the TKA forums announcing that it was in a beta stage. I immediately figured that the Worgenmania was to blame for it getting overlooked. It is amazing that the announcement of a wonderful tool such as this got buried by all of the Worgen hoopla. Of course, I did my share contributing to that. ;) I don't have any Ulduar gear yet, but I have read about the ArPen build that drops Arcane from the rotation. Sounds interesting, but I'm not nearly geared enough yet. :( Btw, I enjoy your blog. :) @ Serith

As a mac user, I was pretty stoked when I found out about it for all the same reasons you mentioned. Before that I was using http://chardev.org/ for gear planning mostly b/c it made it easy with its import function. Since you're rolling in Ulduar gear AND have a consistent group doing 10s, have you looked into the ArP MM build? Given the requirements, it is not for everyone but I like that kind of challenge in gearing. I just happened to have so many items with ArP already on them, so when I used the spreadsheet it showed me a nice jump in ideal dps.

I did not consider the fact you can just "import" stuff from armory, making things 234729847% faster. I do not trust so much spreadsheets because boss encounters are way too different from each other, as well as raid buffs and other variables. That said, from a developer POV, I must say it's well done. Spit a gigantic green-ooze on my face, you’re right.

I think they can be handy for seeing if you're playing to your potential, but beyond that I feel some people just enjoy playing around with numbers. I think that's cool for those that are into it. It's not really my thing, but I can understand the appeal.

This one in particular is nice and well done but ... like other spreadsheets... ingame real mechanics always work differently.
