    Should i make the swap ?

    iv been reading about Armor Penetration all moring and found the sticky cat topic

    it stats that if u can get 220 armor pen (including food buff) u should do it. but inoder to make the swap i will have to wear some naxx items again so my other stats go down. now i have been calculation what i am gonig to loose and trying to figure out how much that would compared to what i gain back

    now soemthing that confuses me is that the stat values ection of the cat from topi displays different values then the best in slot link to wowhead but i calculated whit both to be sure

    atm i got:
    agi 1426
    haste rat 236
    attack power (in cat) 7528
    crit rat 791
    armor pen rat 32
    hit rat 287
    exp rat 135

    if i swap my gear around for armor pen ill have:
    agi 1328 (-98)
    haste rat 206 (-30)
    attack power (in cat) 7402 (-10 -116(from agi loss))
    crit rat 743 (-48)
    Armor pen rat 213 (+181)
    hit rat 237 (-50)
    exp rat 150 (+15)

    now i count the losses / plusses using the bis table on wowhead i get:
    +269.69 (181*1.49)
    + 17.55 (15*1.17)
    -121.52 (-98*1.42)
    - 32.40 (-30*1.08)
    - 5.50 (-10*0.55)
    - 56.64 (-48*1.18)
    - 58.50 (-50*1.17)
    -------
    + 12.68 score

    if u use the stats valaus table in the feral cat topic i get:
    +325.80 (181*1.80)
    + 20.25 (15*1.35)
    -146.02 (-98*1.49)
    - 37.50 (-30*1.25)
    - 5.90 (-10*0.59)
    - 57.12 (-48*1.19)
    - 67.50 (-50*1.35)
    -------
    + 29.01

    now i will miss some hit rating that i wil have to make up for but i wonder should i swap my agi for armor pen considering all the losses or should i wait until i get soem uldaur armor pen gear ?

    (btw i suc at math)

    ur hit was too high at 280 anyways, 237 is closer to cap without going over...haste doesnt matter...and ur armor penn is a lot better then the start...u should see an improvement in dps with ur inc armor penn. just make sure ur hit capped, about 50% critrating unbuffed in cat, then gem/gear for armor penn
