For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Is there any special reason Footwraps of Vile Deceit are enabled over Dawnwalkers by default?<\/li>\n<li>What is the new crit cap formula? 100 &#8211; glancing &#8211; miss &#8211; dodge = crit cap? Without the 4.8? I couldn&#8217;t find this searching the rogue forums.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Even if you aren&#8217;t interested in World of Warcraft, it&#8217;s worth taking a look at the spreadsheet. They&#8217;re a great example of using Excel formulas and lookup tables, and having some fun while you do it!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: inline; border: 0px;\" title=\"combatspreadsheet\" src=\"http:\/\/spreadsheet-day.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/combatspreadsheet.png\" alt=\"combatspreadsheet\" width=\"399\" height=\"242\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>_________________<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While you&#8217;re sweating over the budget spreadsheets, or tweaking your sales forecasts in Excel, you&#8217;d be surprised to learn that the guy next door might be updating his combat and mutilate spreadsheets.
