A few weeks ago over on
Scattered Shots I reviewed many of the different
tools available for Hunters to improve their game. In that post I highlighted two of the most popular tools,
The Hunter DPS Spreadsheet by Wertez over at my site
The Hunting Lodge and the
WOTLK Spreadsheet by Shandara on
Elitist Jerks.
Knowing that both spreadsheets are good at what they do, there is one fundamental issue, both require you to have
Microsoft Excel running on Windows or some selected Mac systems. Using this as a good excuse to become more familiar with JavaScript and Ajax,
Zehera took the challenge and created
Zeherah's Hunter DPS Analyzer.
When I asked why she decided to pick up such a daunting task, Zehera responded, "I was particularly interested because as a Mac user my ability to make use of the spreadsheet has always been limited, I don't have a Windows Excel and many features like the stat values and armory import don't work in the Mac version. This kept me motivated, but it also makes parts of this project extra challenging since I've had to try to figure out how parts of the code in the spreadsheet worked without actually being able to use or test them myself."
As with all any DPS modeling tool, this won't give exact DPS numbers. But being based on Shandara's DPS Spreadsheet, and using the bulk of the formulas and logic found in it, you will get a pretty good idea of how making changes to your gear, talents and glyphs, buffs and debuffs, as well as your pet will impact your DPS.
Taking the cue from Shandara, Zehere has also enabled a PTR option on her site. So whether you're on the PTR or if our just wanting to see what might be in store for you in
Patch 3.2, I highly recommend heading over to
Femaledwarf.com and giving it a try.
