What's the difference between dot.deathmark.ticking and debuff.deathmark.up?
I noticed these two are treated separately in the simc code.

there is no functional difference for APL

How to add damaging trinkets use only if 3 fazed applied?

proven sparrow
#

Generally class buffs like Fazed do not affect things that are not from the class, so trinkets wouldnt do any more damage when you have 3 stacks of fazed than if you had 1 or 0

#

(and if they do affect non-class stuff its unintentional and a bug)

Good to know, thank you

This must be a typo, right? It should be kir @finite sparrow
finite sparrow
#

it is fine to just straight up roll over 2 with ld

sudden warren
#

indeed, rolling over 2 with ld feels like an intuitive thing.

#

where do i paste this sorry tried before but nothing happened

regal agate
#

you copy&paste it below your /simc in top gear

#

so you:

  • go in game - press /simc in chat to open simulationcraft and copy the text.
  • parse it in the box on top gear to load your character.
  • Open the text file and copy the content.
  • paste it below the /simc text in top gear
    If you did everything correct, you should now see the gear added to your selection
gaunt sandal
#

@regal agate this one ?

regal agate
#

no

#

you put your /simc in this box.
And add the content of the text file below it (in the same box)

#

e.g. this is how it looks when i only use the gear profile from my spreadsheet

#

once you pasted the content of the file below, it adds this seasons items to the list and lets you pick the ones you want to compare

thx it works

for m+ what scenario are we using to compare sub/assa/outlaw -- dungeon slice or patchwerk x5

tawdry void
#

that a typo?

finite sparrow
#

Yes it is, but funny enough, it is doesn't change sim results to fix it

#

It is perfectly fine to roll over stage 2 with LD and BtE ready

tawdry void
#

so just roll over stage 2 with LD would be fine then for simplicity? doesnt seem like it changes anything rly

finite sparrow
#

no, stage 2 with just LD does seem a bit worse

tawdry void
#

okl

finite sparrow
#

I suspect bte being ready at the time of rolling just has some impact on fitting the most BtE casts into the potential stage 3/4

quick question. when i sim, it uses mutilate instead of fan in dungeon slice for assass. is that just how the sim is?

regal agate
#

The sim follows a set of priorities which controls the robots logic, it's called the apl (action priority list).
It likely uses Mutilate, because its better or due to the amount of enemies up during the specific point in time.
You can open the simulation report after running a quick sim and watch at the sample sequence to inspect.

If you are unsure about the rotation, it's best to read a guide or ask in the #assassination chat.
If you found clear evidence of a wrong sequence, you can post it here with more information (simulation, screenshots, etc.)

nova crag
#

Also to clarify: Dungeon slice is a combination of different kinds of fights, including a single target portion during which it should mutilate

Hey! I have a question regarding the new simulationcraft results for 7.1.5 that Aethys posted a few days ago (ty for your work, it's much appreciated!). The sheet where the specs were compared a few days ago. Why are the gear used still preraid and EN stuff? I'm interested to see how stuff changes when we get higher itemlevel, setbonuses from Nighthold etc. Is it just because stuff changes so much on PTR that it's no point using the new gear yet? Sorry if this has been asked before

feral crystal
#

Pretty much, everything is still in flux and using already known gear eliminates one or more of those variables

spiral bluff
#

Makes sense, I just wanted a confirmation. Thanks!

Does the latest nightly (2017-01-06 07:05), include the tier changes? Or wait for the next one

Can't find it anywhere, but what does the Poison Knives trait do for AP? The wording is pretty weird. Guess it only increases its dmg when you FoK? Not too sure... http://www.wowhead.com/spell=192376/poison-knives

Wowhead

When Fan of Knives strikes targets poisoned with your Deadly Poison, Deadly Poison instantly deals 4% of its remaining damage.Agonizing PoisonIncreases the effect of Agonizing Poison's damage bonus by (4 /)%

Can't find anything in the guide either

#

Yeah, just looks like it's too much to be true. Can anyone who has the trait confirm this?

#

woulnd't the trait be BiS for AP then?

no

its not flat 4%

on top of ap bonus

earnest nimbus
#

so that amounts to what.. 0.2 ish %?

feral crystal
#

@split sorrel just curious but would that other tool perhaps be a collaboration with fiery on shadowcraft? :)

split sorrel
#

not related to shadowcraft, it's related to simcminmax projects and simulationcraft itself.

feral crystal
#

Would you ever be open to assisting with shadowcraft?

green wolf
#

@feral crystal Assisting how?

feral crystal
#

Mainly helping finishing the models and incorporating your collective knowledge into it. As much as I love simc and the ability to tweak apl's and rotations and the production of the 4d models, it's difficult to use for the everyday upgrade selection decisions. I can only imagine if the projects collaborated and you had the outputs of one becoming the inputs for another

#

Not sure if my message got through or god forbid I spammed :/

split sorrel
#

I always answer question and it happens that Fiery (or someone else) do ask something

#

Like "why you did this in the APL ?"

#

also they're able to read code from simc module and do read the AMR wiki aswell (where every formulas are) so I don't think it's an issue

maiden cargo
#

@split sorrel would you mind posting the profiles used for excel spec testing? specifically the Single Target w/ Adds (4, 3x, 30, 10)

regal agate
#

frozen the simulations are linked in the spreadsheed you just need to open them and get the profile from there

#

ah i didnt see

Guys, im getting this stats priority on simcraft "Agi > Haste > Mastery > Vers > Crit". Its basicaly the inverse order i'm getting suggested in icyveins or in this discord guide for instance. Which should i trust? XD

#

Outlaw btw

proven dawn
#

The stat weights you get from simming yourself are generally more accurate than static stat weights

grizzled remnant
#

Why is simcraft returning me these weights for sub? That can't be right
Ranking Agi > AP > Vers ~= Mastery > Haste ~= Crit

proven dawn
#

Why cant it be right?

grizzled remnant
#

isn't vers basically trash? There's no reason it'd be higher than mastery

proven dawn
#

What are you basing you assessment that vers is trash on? This is the exact reason why we build tools like SimC, figuring out what stats are good is really hard

crisp token
#

vers was never trash for sub

grizzled remnant
#

I mean, I guess, I was just surprised because mastery seemed much higher everywhere I looked, I was wondering if I messed up somewhere

crisp token
#

I guess it's just like the general opinion of vers, it isn't bad at all for a lot of specs

regal agate
#

question: is this channel supposed to help with simulations or to discuss theories and evaluate apl changes/etc and to report bugs?

proven dawn
#

Its a very outdated view of vers, its been quite good for many specs this expansion for complicated reasons, also yes what fuu said

#

in general asking if your sim results are right without presenting any reason to be skeptical of them will be deleted

grizzled remnant
#

aight sorry and thanks for the answer

strong gorge
#

Versatility scales very well with shorter fight length for bursty specs. F.ex during HFC speed kills, vers was almost always top stat with those kill times.

torpid coyote
#

Has anyone run any talent comparisons today? Contrary to popular belief in some channels on here, I'm finding last nights changes actually favour deeper strategem over anticipation. In the previous build (with some APL changes to make better use of anticipation) I was getting anticipation/premed to be the best talent combination. Now its deeper strategem/alacrity interestingly. This is using the default tier19M_NH gear set, can anyone corroborate?

regal agate
#

what spec do you talk about?

torpid coyote
#

Sub

regal agate
#

ah i did this evaluation earlyer

#

but both anticipation and DS optimization was based on t19 4p i need to evaluate the theses again and probably dismiss some

#

if you have some thesis/ideas/etc on it feel free to say them. i can try implement them into the apl then (to evaluate those)

#

btw. did run the simulation with vanilla apl after the changes and DS wins over Anticipation now without any modifications to the apl

torpid coyote
#

I can post up the changes sure, but since the nerf to the 4pc there isn't much a of a gain - I'm just rerunning everything now to compare. The premise was instead of dancing on 0-1 CP and finishing whenever possible, to dance whenever you can strike twice, and strike over finish if you have a large enough deficit. I was finding that with the default APL, and when shadow strike generated 4CP with blades, it would often strike 3 times and finish twice instead the dance window. Anyway like I said, yesterday I found quite a gain with those changes, putting anticipation ahead, but since the nerf back to 30% this is no longer the case 😦

#

What suprised me though was alacrity being ahead of premed in almost all permutations

how much of a difference is WM over MoS? I havent used WM at all yet

regal agate
#

its minimal

grand elbow
#

my sims that I ran yesterday put MoS above WM which was weird

#

but only by like <1k

foggy tendon
#

I personally prefer MoS (did small personal test) so if its minimal i'll most likely run MoS

regal agate
#

changed ~> to ~= to make it more clear:
WM ~= MoS
DS/PREM. ~= DS/ALACR. > ANTIC./PREM >ANTIC./ALACR.

foggy tendon
#

Well, I could definitely see WM for M+, the burst is way nicer, and would most likely help get the boss dead faster

regal agate
#

WM wins in M+ becouse it procs of FoK (every hit)

foggy tendon
#

yea

#

MoS for longer fights (i.e raids)

#

Does MoS affect SD? Or is the SD effect built into it?

#

nevermind, it doesnt, answered my own question.

maiden cargo
#

I personally prefer taking Wm on any sort of aoe or cleave fight, Mos on pure st

foggy tendon
#

Yea definitely, WM is perfect for M+ or trash

anyone as tried to write APL to cast envenom in the last 0.1 of EP or surge of tox?
trying to write buff.elaborate_planning.remains<0.1 or the equivalent for surge was a subtantial DPS loss for me.
so checking the envenom's data i saw less cast, like 38 instead of 41 and the opening a lot less damaging.
so i changed the APL with time>10 and a conditional for not waiting under vendetta.
but even this the dps is behind to a simple 4+ envenom (about 0.5-1k dps)
the uptime is better, the number of envenom's cast are basically the same (40.7 instead of 41.1), the mean of envenom damage is higher.
maybe someone had an idea to optimize this mechanics? actually my APL is

actions.finish+=/envenom,if=(talent.master_poisoner.enabled&combo_points>=4+talent.deeper_stratagem.enabled&(!debuff.surge_of_toxins.up|(debuff.surge_of_toxins.up&time<=10)|(debuff.surge_of_toxins.up&time>10&(debuff.surge_of_toxins.remains<=0.1|debuff.vendetta.up))))|(!talent.master_poisoner.enabled&combo_points>=4&(!talent.elaborate_planning.enabled|(talent.elaborate_planning.enabled&(!buff.elaborate_planning.up|time<=10|(time>10&(buff.elaborate_planning.remains<0.1|debuff.vendetta.up))))))

#

have to correct my sim results. my old values where with bracers, did forget about that

late willow
#

Is the nightblooming frond implemented correctly in the recent builds. It doesnt look like the auto attack damage is increasing

regal agate
#

@split sorrel you are right. anticipation seem to be better with bracers

split sorrel
#

now do bracers and convergence

#

πŸ˜‰

regal agate
#

i will rerun everything bc. my conclusion was wrong earlyer(compared 4p+fates+bracers with 4p+fates)
the tier 4p nerfe seem to be a ~4 - 5% loss

foggy tendon
#

So basically we need bracers as well as set to be competative?

regal agate
#

depends how the other specs peform

#

but the bracers will probably be bis

foggy tendon
#

Yea, I don't think one spec will be immensely better than another one

torpid coyote
#

Re-ran everything @regal agate, standard t19m_nh template and these were the results

regal agate
#

thats nice πŸ˜ƒ

torpid coyote
#

So I get ~8-9% overall nerf, and as found earlier, a change in best talent combinations from anticipation/premed to deeper/alacrity (with both wrists & boots)

#

This is with cof aswel, its in the nh template

regal agate
#

mantle may become bis with bracers, just so you know

maiden cargo
#

probably will be

#

tbh

torpid coyote
#

Yeah I will re-run it all tomorrow with mantle included, and do the same thing for assassination.

#

I saw in another channel someone mention sprinting to activate vanish, also activates the mantle. Has anyone worked that into the APL to see if its worth 3 seconds of not attacking? Obviously in real life its easier to do with movement / target swapping

regal agate
#

its worth but not included

maiden cargo
#

sprinting for vanish is currently not in apl

#

bracers with trinket and 4pc will pull ahead

regal agate
#

without tier set ^^

maiden cargo
#

yeah

#

im saying mantle is already good

#

if you sprint vanish, even better

regal agate
#

hmm so we have sprint every minute + vanish every 2 minutes

mint pawn
#

Let all raid leaders know if you mess up sprint it's a wipe

regal agate
#

hmm i got lower value of DS/alacrity in my sims

#

nvm found the mistake ^^

#

sprint should not become a rotational cooldown thats probably why its not in the apl

torpid coyote
#

Ok have to defer to some simC wizards here... need the commands for stopping auto attack, activating sprint, and then just waiting for stealth to activate

regal agate
torpid coyote
#

Thanks, will have a play in the morning and rerun all combinations including the mantle, and for assassination. Just had a quick look default profiles for assassination vs sub; seems to be ~5% ahead. Will see if it holds true through legendaries

regal agate
#

thanks for that. and good luck tomorrow πŸ˜ƒ

Two questions: (Let me know if this should go in General or Simple)

  1. How do you guys make the comparison sims for items? Like if I have my item ID's how can I sim all of the combos at once to get those charts? (I want to test out legendary combos with my current gear.)
  2. Is there a section of simc or maybe future development plans so that the novice user can create an APL? I've read through the APL code and back in WoD I even modded it a bit for myself to test a couple of things, but I get confused with all the coding teminology with the ! for NOT and all of that stuff. It's just very tedious to modify the APLs.

Love the program and appreciate all the work that goes into it.

split sorrel
#

you cannot stop rogue aa

strong rune
#

i believe vanish stops rogue AA?

torpid coyote
#

Any ideas on how to force a vanish/sprint in the apl? Is that trait implemented in simc?

strong rune
#

you're asking if it's possible to trigger sprint, stop autoattacks, and wait three seconds?

#

i don't believe that's implemented as such

#

if you wanted to add it, you could put some conditional logic in the ability here:

#

that's the place to add vanish functionality, conditioned on having that trait

#

(this is probably something for me or aethys to do)

torpid coyote
#

Or just force the SIM to put sprint on CD, gain stealth, and fast forward / pause for 3 seconds

strong rune
#

one way to implement this is to put a fake "sprint_for_offense" spell or something in place

#

that uses sprint but also shuts off autoattacks

#

we'd have to build this out, it's not there now

torpid coyote
#

If that's something either of you could look at, could be interesting. Not just for gaining the mantle buff, but also periods of downtime when you've depleted all charges, and are just backstabbing / waiting for ST, it may be beneficial to sprint/vanish.

strong rune
#

absolutely true

#

i'd wager it's a dps gain

#

no free lunch, you are giving up some autoattacks, but it's almost certainly a dps gain

split sorrel
#

also I need to see how mantle works with subterfuge

#

atm it's assuming true stealth

#

but that may be different

#

dunno and can't work on simc at all for some days

#

if you want to implement the aa stop, go ahead

#

you could just add an action to force the stop_attack

#

start_attack exists already

#

but I know navv told me in the past rogue uses different things

#

didn't checked since a long time

What's better for my outlaw with thraxis trades/hit and run? 860 Arcanocrystal or 860 rabbit foot with haste? using bloodthirsty at 850 and the rabbit foot as the game swapped out the crystal

night tinsel
#

@split sorrel no interaction with subterfuge, just gives 6 seconds still

split sorrel
#

so no aura

#

just 6s ?

night tinsel
#

yeah, which is different to how it worked before earlier in the cycle iirc, I think you kept the aura and it didn't tick until subterfuge ended previously

#

now it just ticks after breaking stealth

#

You do keep the aura with vanish though, doesn't tick till vanish ends

#

actually thats not quite how it works, you only keep the vanish buff if you have subterfuge >.<

torn dome
#

To my findings with subterfuge vanish gives you the mantle buff for 8.2 seconds

night tinsel
#

I still think its a bug that the vanish buff doesnt' fall off when you have subterfuge active, but its been like that for a long time

#

I got just over 9 seconds of the buff with vanish, but its oft times variable because it seems like subterfuge doesn't always instantly proc with vanish, similar to why you get 4 gcds with a vanish on live

torn dome
#

Interesting

ember citrus
#

Can someone tell me why that is an ugrade?

gleaming nimbus

Because you are using the default weights. You gotta sim yourself and import the new scales.

#

@arctic pier Did you try reinstall

regal agate
#

@night tinsel about the aa-stop discussion earlyer. can you just trigger a movement raid event for this ?

pliant pagoda
#

If I read this string right:

actions+=/variable,name=ss_useable_noreroll,value=(combo_points<5+talent.deeper_stratagem.enabled-(buff.broadsides.up|buff.jolly_roger.up)-(talent.alacrity.enabled&buff.alacrity.stack<=4))

The SimC recommended rotation is run through at 4 combo points if you have deeper strat and broadsides or jolly roger, and at least 4 stacks of alacrity. Did I read that right?

#

<5+1-1-1 for <4, so finisher at >=4

night tinsel
#

Almost, but (talent.alacrity.enabled&buff.alacrity.stack<=4) is 1 when your stacks are 4 or less. So, run through at 4 cp if you have 4 or less alacrity stacks and broadsides or jolly roger.

#

@regal agate Probably, but I can't say for certain. I do recall reading navv saying once that it was already possible to implement auto attack stops for rogues, but its not something written in any of the wikis that I've read.

I'm not familiar enough with the code to go find where that sort of action might be on github either

that should apply DP once if the boss is below 30%, and replace agonizing poison as my buff?

merry cloud
#

you should have APL there

#

and all your gear settings and stuff

odd sedge
#

nope i just have my char import from game

merry cloud
#

exactly

#

and APL is part of that import

#

there should be lines like actions+=

odd sedge
#

nothing there

#

i imported with simc addon and pasted there

merry cloud
#

then you need to copy paste whole APL as well

#

and then edit it

odd sedge
#

from where?

merry cloud
#

from sample profiles

rich sage
#

Import with "import" tab and it generates apl

odd sedge
#

i think i see the APL under logs

merry cloud
#

or just use import from armory

#

it will generate APL for you

odd sedge
#

that works now? with relics etc

merry cloud
#

yes

odd sedge
#

ok got apl now, where do I add the line

merry cloud
#

it works for a long time )

#

depends on what you want

#

if I got the idea right

#

find line actions.maintain=rupture,if=(talent.nightstalker.enabled&stealthed.rogue)|(talent.exsanguinate.enabled&((combo_points>=cp_max_spend&cooldown.exsanguinate.remains<1)|(!ticking&(time>10|combo_points>=2+artifact.urge_to_kill.enabled))))

odd sedge
#

my idea to sim was to see if fishing for BOTA procs would be good

#

ok i see that line now what

merry cloud
#

I guess delete it and replace with yours

#

but it would eliminate nightstalker logic

odd sedge
#

would adding another work?= above it

merry cloud
#

you have to deep dive into it

odd sedge
#

actions.maintain=rupture,if=(combo_points<=2)&!debuff.blood_of_the_assassinated.up

merry cloud
#

that line just might refresh your rupture after you got BotA

#

if you add line you have to change next one slightly

#

from actions.maintain= to actions.maintain+=/

regal agate
#

you should probably refresh with cp >=2 and not <=

merry cloud
#

they specifically want to cast only low CP ruptures to fish for BotA

odd sedge
#

it didnt impact the sim this line

#

bota uptime same

#

anyway gotta leave for a bit, thanks for assistance will continue later

upbeat shuttle
#

@dry pine can you msg me if you figure out that DP is better after 30%? Might be worth speccing master poisoner aswell?

dry pine
#

yeah when i figure it out

polar mortar
#

just saw the latest aethys sim results, is that mantle of the master assassin really a thing?

#

i don t understand why it is 10% increase as sub when it does not work under shadow dance

#

it s supposed to be the best 7.1.5 legendary?

round canyon
#

!aethys

winged jettyBOT
crystal frost
#

think of it like this: lets say the fight length is 5 minutes, you have 6 seconds uptime on pull and 18 seconds uptime after your 3 vanishes making it 24 seconds of 100% crit uptime, lets say you have like 35% crit (you probably have less as sub) you get basicaly 65% more damage while having the buff, 24 seconds is 8% of the fight length where you have that 65% damage increase which leads to around 5.2% overall damage

round canyon
#

@crystal frost while you end up mostly correct it actually isnt 65% more damage going from 35% crit chance to 100%

crystal frost
#

yeah its not completely accurate

#

but just basic calculation

round canyon
#

its closer to but not exactly 50%

polar mortar
#

ok

round canyon
#

48.14% increased damage is what im getting from my math

#

is the sim using shadowmeld to trigger it though?

maiden cargo
#

no

#

its triggering correctly in sim

crystal frost
#

it also has some synergy with belt

maiden cargo
#

each stealth window

#

gives 9s uptime

crystal frost
#

so it works with subtlefuge?

maiden cargo
#

no

#

but vanish puts you instealth

#

for 3 sec

#

effect only stops when stealth fades

#

so its 9sec from vanish

crystal frost
#

true

polar mortar
#

oh

#

maybe we should consider to sprint every minute

#

flickering shadows and things

round canyon
#

for the shoulders yeah

#

it was discussed yesterday by a couple people

polar mortar
#

is that worth to not do anything for 3 sec though?

round canyon
#

someone was trying to make the simulation use flickering shadows aswell

polar mortar
#

some fights it should be easy to do so

#

fights like odyn for instance

round canyon
#

not doing anything for 3 seconds to gain ~~50% increased damage for 9 seconds plus a free vanish sounds good to me

polar mortar
#

yeah

#

indeed

round canyon
#

you would miss out only on auto attacks for the most part

pallid laurel
#

Is the ptr build for simulation craft accurate? no way i'm simming twice what i'm at live, right?

regal agate
#

make sure you use the latest build

#

there was a bug with rupture ticking isanely high on earlyer builds

pallid laurel
#

I think i downloaded the latest nightly build. how do I check?

regal agate
pallid laurel
#

so I installed that build, should I still click live or ptr?

#

oh, there is only one option

#

thanks

trim jasper
#

with 7.1.5 and the upcomming nervs to assa i wanna switch to Sub my problem is ive got the Bracers and boots legys for Assas is it an option to switch to Sub or is my DMG not gonna be good enough

bleak sky
#

What nerfs?

#

People are seeing dps increases with Assa

regal agate
#

ppl just like to whine

odd sedge
#

Any of the simcraft pros care to help me sim my BOTA fishing theory? I tried to make a line to sim that but couldnt

#

actions.maintain=rupture,if=(combo_points<=2)&!debuff.blood_of_the_assassinated.up

#

this didnt work

maiden cargo
#

@trim jasper sub was nerfed more than sin

trim jasper
#

thats true but that doesnt change the fact that Sub scales alot better than Sin and i dont really like the AP playstyle

maiden cargo
#

you wouldnt be playing ap in NH, most likely

#

probably bleed for a majority of bosses

#

this also isnt the channel for it, this is mostly simc discussion

odd sedge
#

Who says sub scales better than assassination? they stated that from the start, well im still waiting for it even at 890

maiden cargo
#

^

ivory stag
#

people are saying that because it used to, but back then we had sinister calling or w/e that gave extra 15% agility or what it was

odd sedge
#

no I mean this expansion, not before

carmine ginkgo
#

!simcraft

#

!trinkets

winged jettyBOT
split sorrel
#

I think most ppl are talking about Weapon scaling

#

in this sense, yes Sub does have a better scaling than Asn, but nothing as big as before

#

Altough, the scaling through the Artifact is better on Subtlety end, I assume that's why both of these things leads people to say that Sub is ahead

@odd sedge try to sostitute

actions.maintain+=/rupture,cycle_targets=1,if=combo_points>=cp_max_spend-talent.exsanguinate.enabled&refreshable&(!exsanguinated|remains<=1.5)&target.time_to_die-remains>4

let me see

if you use combo_point<=2 when you crit with mutilate sim doesnt refresh

thanks for that, it shot BOTA uptime to 59.79%

dps?

odd sedge
#

sec i have to log in game πŸ˜›

#

546334 dps with bota fishing vs 570867 dps normal one, not far at all, maybe the APL could be more refined, this seems promising

iron elk
#

with ap?

odd sedge
#

yes

#

wait im not even using vigor etc since its the 715 sim... I should change that, and MP right?

#

rupture damage shoots up to 32%

iron elk
#

try to use hemo πŸ˜„

#

maybe change the cp to 2 or 3

odd sedge
#

! good one hemo

iron elk
#

can save the html and load here? to see the damage part

odd sedge
#

how do I do that

#

hemo and vigor lost me 20k dps

#

id like to test exsang too, but I just deleted the line for it didnt I?

#

with 1133111 talents - 568923 dps fishing, 600785 dps normal APL

late willow
#

Yeah I tried out adjusting the exsang and rupture times to accomodate for fishing for bota and it lost me dps in every iteration

#

for ap and exsang

iron elk
#

in the result panel, botton right there is save button, then you drop the .html generated in the chat

odd sedge
#

still the difference isnt that big, and tweaking APL a bit further could be even better, maybe

#

thanks for help @iron elk πŸ’―

trail herald
#

hi guys. so im using simc to generate pawn scale factors to id upgrades. lately, items that show as upgrades based on the scales out of simc are simulating at lower dps than what i had equipped previously

#

i always update the scale in pawn after an upgrade. any idea what might be going on?

ashen crater
#

How can I use simulation craft to compare prolonged power to old war?

late willow

There is a line in the apl that says "actions.precombat+=/potion,name=old_war"

change that

and in the actions cooldowns area there is a line that says "actions.cds=potion,name=old_war"

change that too

@odd sedge have you tried with different relic and legendary?
maybe with 3 gushing wound and bracers instead of boots fishing is better

arctic lily
#

I tried simming myself, I'm not sure if it's an error on my part but

#

Is there any way to tell how much Convergence of Fates reduces our Vendetta CD?

iron elk
#

with boots?

arctic lily
#

I've got legendary boots and 3 Vendetta relics, it was a 45~ sec cd prior

#

Sims show exactly the same

iron elk
#

depends in the number of proc

#

but nearly 32-35 sec

arctic lily
#

Yeah but on average, sims don't have it proc at all

#

That's what it's gonna go down to?

iron elk
#

are you using the ptr option? or the night release?

arctic lily
#

Oh, did SimC update for NH release?

#

That might be why, wasn't aware there was a new build out yet

regal agate
#

the ptr option is not needed

arctic lily
#

Yeah it's just not simulating CoF procs what-so-ever

#

weird

#

Eh, whatever I'll mess with it later, thanks for input guys. If anyone finds a fix and can actually get a decent simulation for CoF procs with Duskwalker's and 3 Vendetta relics please PM me the results.

split sorrel
#

last time I changed the APL for Assa

#

I have fixed those interaction

#

well, most likely

#

what's the issue ?

Just curious on what my Vendetta CD is going to look like with CoF, Duskwalker's and 3 Vendetta relics

without CoF its at around ~47

in the header there is a mention :

it means it's for 7.1.0 and not 7.1.5 that's why you don't see the difference

explain your issue, I can help for the simc part

iron elk

@split sorrel if you want here there is a optimized vendetta APL for vigor

https://github.com/simulationcraft/simc/issues/3324

i run some cases with convergences of fate, and basically only the case with 0 MA, no boots and no convergences is better with the old
actions.cds+=/vendetta,if=talent.exsanguinate.enabled&cooldown.exsanguinate.remains<5&dot.rupture.ticking

if you need i can rewrite the APL for this case

split sorrel
#

the old is no longer actions.cds+=/vendetta,if=talent.exsanguinate.enabled&cooldown.exsanguinate.remains<5&dot.rupture.ticking

#

@iron elk

check with the new apl and merge with it

then yes I'll add it

to handle all MA / Boots and CoF thingys

ashen crater
#

where in the simc UI do you go to change the apl?

regal agate
#

there is no ui. the apl is text based. you can get the latest one from git or download the latest simc version from http://downloads.simulationcraft.org/ and just run a profile without apl(for example 1 iteration). you can then copy the entire string with apl from the profiles tab of the result

ashen crater
#

Once I've copied it, where do I paste it so that I can make edits and have it use my custom apl instead of the default?

late willow
#

simulate tab

ashen crater
#

After my gear info?

regal agate
#

just make a new tab

#

your gear information is in the profile so just create a new tab

ashen crater
#

Thanks for the help!

dusky slate
#

Is there a convenient line I could add to enable a T19 tier 2 or tier 4 effect, without actually equipping the gear? it would be a nice way to isolate the result of just the bonus

late willow
#

Not sure of a command but if there isnt one you could increase the stats in the gear summary and uncomment the stats you changed. Sim it that way so you can get a baseline dps for just the stat increases and then comment the stats again and equip the 2pc and 4pc

merry cloud

sim it

#

how can we know

molten pelican
#

how can i sim it withouit changing ? 😦

regal agate
#

you can use the addon: simbuilder

urban wasp
#

find the relic ids from wowhead and replace them in the simc string

#

or use an addon i didn't know existed πŸ˜„

regal agate
#

it offers you an window acessable through the character window where you are able to replace items/relics and copy the simc output string after that.

molten pelican
#

ids are like 1805:1492:3336

#

i cant find such on wowhead =/

regal agate
#

you can else go to wowhead and search your relic and copy the id's from the url

urban wasp
#

yes you can, you change the item ilvl you want in the menu, then click link, and theres a simc string

nova girder
#

Tonight i downloaded last nightly build, simned my toon bc got the urn from nightbane. In the results tab, simcraft is showing lower stat amount than ingame. Ok -5% for rouges but also lower mastery? Or is there another thing happen to low ilvl gear?

#

-5% crit i mean

gaunt gale
#

@nova girder Yep. All stats now cost more raiting per %.

nova girder
#

@gaunt gale thx, i understand

nova girder
#

Another question: how accurate is this "sample sequence table" under "action priority list" in the results tab? Could i read out the opener and rotation there?

split sorrel
#

it's 2nd iteration sequence

#

so it is what it did on the 2nd iteration

#

or first if you only have 1 iteration

#

it's reliable if the apl is "perfect"

#

else you might spot some weird things, if it happens then please report so we can fix it

#

an example : doing the rupture snapshot before vanish is an error, if that happen you should report it (it's an example, it shouldn't do that)

nova girder
#

By rupture snapshot ur talking about the opener with garrote ->mutilate ->rupture-> Mut till 6-> vanish->rupture Sequenz?

split sorrel
#

yes nightstalker modifer snapshot

#

which is triggered by vanish

#

so if you do it before the vanish then πŸ˜„

nova girder
#

I go with garrote Mut till 6 vendetta kb vanish rup. Ok this way? Or still wrong?

#

Like the sample sequence table

olive moss
#

The opener on live should be with ap: garrote, rupture, muti, vendetta, muti(if 5p kb if 4p muti) if 6p, vanish, rupture, kb. If you are bloodelf the opener is different

Does anyone know if the bufffood simcraft shows you is the one youΒ΄re supposed to eat? shouldnΒ΄t you eat bufffood depending on your stat weights? And @split sorrel do you know if simcraft calculates with Fishbrul Special?

#

And does the fishbrul special scale with the 15% ep buff?

split sorrel
#

@olive moss yes but how do I determine the stats weight before computing it ? πŸ˜„

#

by default it's versa for assa because it's a profile for both AP & Exsang, same for Sub

olive moss
#

gawd. you are right. dumb question ;D

split sorrel

altough, Mastery would be better for Sub

#

and for Outlaw it depends

i am eating always the best stat. i just noticed it today and was curious πŸ˜„

split sorrel

it's one of the flaw of the buff food but tbh, it doesn't matter much

yeah i just eat fishbrul every time cause it works for all specs and is cheap

languid python
#

question regarding SimC and Pawn, i'm looking for the pawn import string in my simcresult, but i can't find it. any ideas where it is?

regal agate

you need to tick the scaling factor in the options and run your simulation after that. you will get the string in the result

languid python
#

thank you

languid python
#

is there a way for simc to tell you which gem is best for you? do i have to change gem and simulate after each one or could it just tell me straight away?

late willow
#

generally people just go with highest stat weight secondary for their gem

#

In the apl you can just change the gem at the end of the line of your gear with the sockeet

languid python
#

thanks, where can i find the item ID? wowhead?

proven dawn
#

stat weights are generally stable enough over the range of a small number of gems that simple stat weights is sufficient, its possible in some cases the stat ranking my change but this means the stat weights were so similar initially the dps delta is basically a rounding error

late willow
#

You dont need the item id for the gem. I think you just put ,gem=150crit at the end of the line of the item that has a socket

languid python
#

appreciate the help:)

#

i guess the same goes for enchants, except neckenchant*`

tame gust
#

Is AMR sim reliable? Can't use SIMC unfortunately

proven dawn
#

When I last checked AMR was generally very accurate at mechanics but the APLs were sometimes not as mature as the SimC APLs. In general it should be quite accurate. Note there are some complexities to its stat weight generation which can cause odd/hard to explain results but the underlying sim is solid.

Agility=18.69, CritRating=13.12, HasteRating=8.30, MasteryRating=15.40, Versatility=12.46

storm nimbus
#

because MP heavily values mastery and Kingsbane is getting effectively buffed

quartz halo
#

using latest nightly build

#

fair enough

vivid siren
#

Is it easier to push for mastery or should we still aim towards 44% crit?

Is the legendary tab also updated on aethys' excel file

#

So is mastery the go to secondary stat for all 3 specs in 7.15?

storm nimbus
#

why would outlaw want mastery in 7.1.5?

neon berry
#

would anyone know how to sim relics you don't have socketed yet?

past token
#

@neon berry are you looking to test specific traits? like a 6MA

#

or a specific ilvl

#

adding artifact_override="fates_thirst:6/fatebringer:3/fortune_strikes:3"

#

to your simcraft profile will override the current relics

#

you can do it for each specific trait

neon berry
#

both really

past token
#

ahh ok sec

#

main_hand=the_dreadblades,id=128872,bonus_id=742,gem_id=140819/140817/140841,relic_id=3519/3519/3519

#

so if you look here

#

the gem id is the id for the relic

#

you grab the id from the "item=134081" part of the url

#

relic id in this case is different because i've overridden the artifact

#

i don't quite understand how to force the artifact weapon to a specific ilvl yet

#

perhaps the bonus id?

feral crystal
#

Yeah the ilvl and augmentations to items are in the bonus id

#

What I did to figure it out is I input everything from the simc addon into simc, tgen have a good look at the order of the relic and gem ids in your artifact

#

Then look up the relics that are already in your artifact on wowhead for the item id and bonus ids

#

And you can match them up and see what order they are in

#

When you figure out what id is what you look up the relic you want to test, making sure you select the correct ilvl etc then swap the ids in

Thanks guys

I'll sit down and go through it after raid

is this like a bug with the new rupture calculation or something

Think ptr option in older version was broke, but more recent nightly builds or the baseline build tmrw is basically ptr/to be current by tmrw

elfin dagger

for mp/vigor as sin you would keep the rotation the same right? except wait longer to pool energy for envenoms? and just rupture/envenom on 4cp unless you have garrote up and it's about to fall off?

@split sorrel, you prolly haven't seen this : I was looking at the 7.15 updated spreadsheet, and clicked on the Exsang simulation, and the simulation seems to be based on 1 Master Alchemist relic (rather than Master assassin) and 2 gushing wounds relics. would that be a bug ?
this is the sim I am talking about : http://simc.aethys.eu/rog_asn_ex_t19x_1t_default.html
This is only the case for T19M (not P or H)

it's default profile

hm 3 rupture relics with the same ilvl is a dps increase over 3 MA for my gear

i sim 3x rupture x 3x rupture crit x 3x MA atm

So is the nerf to MA relics that big? Will it mean that they're worse than rupture dmg relics?

that is for Exsang build

uhm, using my old APL with my actual gear
3MA are still better
surprisingly MP-AP with 3-2-1MA roughly the same
EP-EX 3MA really above the others

inland comet

i think the same

#

but maybe for multi target fight

iron elk

for multitarget rupture was better with 3+

rupture >>> MA

even before

and i have a 880 same relic type on outlaw...

are there any break point for ap build ?

There have never been generalizable break points for AP vs Exsang

i personally take the talent most useful for the encounter, no reason to pick AP if my guild need burst in odyn p2

btw i see sometimes simcraft page with multiple result, how i can join multiple result in a single html?

put both profiles in the same file

iron elk

the APLs cant be omitted?

If you use default APL they can be, otherwise no

another option is to have 1 apl per file then a top level file that imports the separate apl file and run that top level file

So i just simmed some relics

#

in the same ilevel

#

i got 20k more with MA still with boots

novel pier
#

I am just playing around with modifying Subtlety precombat actions a bit, and I am noticing that if I build my own profile, for some reason it will not detect them and will use the default APL precombat. On the other hand, if I copy the Rogue_Sublety_T19M_NH and change the food/potion/whatever, it works fine. I verified the syntax of the lines and such are exactly the same as the "OOB" profiles. Any ideas why this might happen?

maiden cargo
#

yes. When you build your own profile and have very few lines simc doesnt replace default profile lines, which is built from the rogue module.

#

the 19M profile is generated from the rogue module and so if you copy the whole thing and replace lines in there

#

it will replace the default profile

#

but if you only have a few lines you dont have enough to make a full profile so i believe it doesnt stick and just uses its default profile

novel pier
#

Ahh, so having just full precombat actions isnt enough, I need to have a full actions profile too? interesting. Makes things alot more complicated.

#

Cool. Ill try it out. Thanks

if u dont have boots

im pretty sure you replace the third MA relic cause of the DR

but that just me speculating

only problem is, i believe sin apl is outdated with changes

i would say that gushing wound is prob better if u dont have boots

it previously optimized vendetta syncing iirc

just changed ike 2 days ago
