regal agate
#

changin it to >0 is fine (edit)

#

this would fire every time

#

but that would make the condition kinda useless

#

"use it when vendetta is up or if vendetta is on cd"

green wolf
#

I want to check something with relics and this has a giant impact on it, so I just want it to fire away asap. So thanks ^^

regal agate
#

you can also make it (debuff.vendetta.up|!debuff.vendetta.up) this would also fire every time

green wolf
#

so, it would use Kingsbane and Vendetta off CD with that condition?

regal agate
#

it would use KB when evenom buff is up

#

and its not on cd

green wolf
#

Good shit

regal agate
#

XD moment

#

mistake on my side >0 is right

green wolf
#

0 would make it blow off CD then?

regal agate
#

should

#

ill test

#

ye >0 uses it when its on CD but has the condition that evenom buff needs to be up

green wolf
#

"|(!talent.exsanguinate.enabled&buff.envenom.up&"

#

if i remove this line, it won't take the envenom thing into the consideration, aye?

regal agate
#

if u want to remove that you can just use:
actions.maintain+=/kingsbane,if=(debuff.vendetta.up|!debuff.vendetta.up)

green wolf
#

Thank you

regal agate
#

that would probably use it on opener also

#

sry for the wrong information earlyer ^^ missread the line

green wolf
#

No problem

strong gorge
#

(debuff.vendetta.up|!debuff.vendetta.up

#

why even have the condition

regal agate
#

ye^^

strong gorge
#

Just have it use it without any condition high in the apl and it'll fire asap all the time.

regal agate
#

or use actions.maintain+=/kingsbane should work also

#

bc. the condition is basicly not needed

#

however if he wnats to f.ex. deley it on opener he can add parameter to it

green wolf
#

The uptime seems odd?

#

On vedetta

#

Vendetta

#

@strong gorge @regal agate

exotic orchid
#

you have to adjust apl a little to line up

#

standart apl cant do that with cof and boots

regal agate
#

when do you want it to use vendetta?

green wolf
#

I want Kingsbane and Vendetta to be used whenever available

#

And a code to line them both up as we do currently

regal agate
#

vendetta is only used on low energy

#

thats why its not used initialy

exotic orchid
#

with a little tweak

#

nvm you used a longer fight lenght

merry cloud
#

@green wolf are you testing AP?

green wolf
#

Yup with my current gear. 3xMA + CoF + Boots

merry cloud
#

There are 2 lines for vendetta now, find one with !talent.exsanguinate.enabled and deleted everything past that condition for talent

regal agate
#

actions.cds+=/vendetta,if=!talent.exsanguinate.enabled

#

should do it

merry cloud
#

That would make vendetta to be casted immediately

#

Same for KB

#

Just remove every conditions

regal agate
#

well we did that already^^

merry cloud
#

And make it just Kingsbane

#

I don't think current apl syncs vendetta and KB tho

#

Default one

exotic orchid
#

yeah its not

regal agate
#

it does wait up to 10 secounds for vendetta

#

if the cooldown is higher then 10 secs it just uses KB

merry cloud
#

To alighn then I add &cooldown.kingsbane.remains<4 for vendetta

exotic orchid
#

but you need to wait for kb

#

with this setup

merry cloud
#

It's pain to help from phone...

regal agate
#

you can also just add: debuff.vendetta.up (for vendetta)

merry cloud
#

He wants to cast them immediately

#

That would make KB wait for vendetta

green wolf
#

I want 2 codes to compare it.

merry cloud
#

Or you meant for aligning case?

green wolf
#

One that lines them up and one that blows it off CD:

merry cloud
#

Basically you wanna test if it's worth aligning KB and vendetta now since impact of KB dropped?

green wolf
#

that and I want to know the difference as I have 3xMA and boots and CoF.

#

I have to delay Vendetta for Kingsbane atm

exotic orchid
#

with 3 ma you delay a lot I guess

regal agate
#

you can use :
actions.maintain+=/kingsbane
and
actions.cds+=/vendetta,if=!talent.exsanguinate.enabled

to use them on cd
and
actions.maintain+=/kingsbane,if=debuff.vendetta.up|cooldown.vendetta.reminds>=45
to line it up

green wolf
#

actions.maintain+=/kingsbane,if=(debuff.vendetta.up|cooldown.vendetta>=45) ?

regal agate
#

typo mistake

#

cooldown.vendetta.remains

#

actions.maintain+=/kingsbane,if=(debuff.vendetta.up|cooldown.vendetta.remains>=45)

green wolf
#

ye, running it now

regal agate
#

as it looks the cooldown of vendetta is never low enough to not use it together (so you can probably remove that from the argument)

green wolf
#

I did

merry cloud
#

Share results with us!

green wolf
regal agate
#

TR.DL: lining it up is better

green wolf
#

Well, look at the uptime on VD.

#

By blowing it off CD it should be higher.

regal agate
#

mhm

#

actions.cds+=/vendetta,if=!talent.exsanguinate.enabled
you only changed this line for off cd

#

this means 1st simulation would work more enrgy efficient with vendetta

green wolf
#

yeh

regal agate
#

ah okay ^^

#

your aim was to show that using everything on cd is not a high dps loss

#

the difrence is +1.7% dps

merry cloud
#

I can't view html on phone

#

What is the interval for vendetta when you don't line up?

#

42?

wise jackal
#

Does build from 01.02 21.43 include +4% buff that blue post was talking about? Where can I see changes for each build because I can't find it on github :/

green wolf
#

44 seconds it seems.

merry cloud
#

Well

#

That is strange I had 42 with 2 ma

green wolf
#

It does seem strange indeed.

merry cloud
#

But even if it's 42 you gain extra vendetta only for 9+ min fights

#

Or some edge cases like 6 mins

green wolf
#

Indeed

exotic orchid
#

the damage graph on line up still seems weird

#

shouldnt be like that

#

your line up profile only line ups for 4 cds

#

and it seems if you always line up its a dps loss

raven sage
#

does kiljaedens trinket sim correctly?

pallid tapir
#

@split sorrel will you add alacrity profiles to the next sims on your page?

#

for assa

merry cloud
#

@exotic orchid can you post pic? I just compare intervals for vendetta and Kingsbane

#

If they are both close to 45 then code works and they are stacked

split sorrel
#

@pallid tapir what do u mean ? and I'm away atm

pallid tapir
#

I was searching on your page with the sims, and didn't find trinkets/legendaries and those calculations for alacrity on assa

#

I might have not found it tho

torn dome
#

@merry cloud the intervals are 45 exactly on both

#

so its working ye

exotic orchid
#

I think this is how line up should look

#

And without tweak it looks like this

#

Actually line up still ahead for Stjern, it seems like I used different fight length again because I'm not getting the same results

hollow cobalt
#

Jesus christ whenever I real all these posts I feel like a giant noob πŸ˜„ don't understand a word of what you guys are saying! Don't mind me, I'll get me coat πŸ˜„

deft rain
#

quick question, does todays nightly build already have the 4% hotfix included?

odd sedge
#

Hmm after getting CoF, boots, and 3 MA, im so unsure what to run as relics, putting one GW in place of a MA sims 1k less (same ilvl), one envenom 15 ilvls higher gains me 3k dps, not sure simcraft is optimized enough for this scenario atm?

gleaming root
#

there is no nightly build for today so probably not

wanton shell
#

what is the 4% hotfix?

odd sedge
#

i just WISH relics wouldnΒ΄t be destroyed on swapping... stupid fucking system

maiden cargo
#

@odd sedge your goal is to sync vendetta with kb always

#

with 3 MA what is your vendetta cd

odd sedge
#

Yes but Cof sometimes desynchs it a lot

#

sometimes more than 10 seconds

#

its random bullshit (even more)

#

it can be perfect, or desynch it to hell

maiden cargo
#

doesn't matter what it does, always sync them

exotic orchid
#

add &cooldown.kingsbane.remains<4 at the end of vendetta line

#

it should line up cds better

maiden cargo
#

so you can wait till vendetta apl is better to see if you should swap rleics, but I suspect it's not much difference either way

odd sedge
#

what i dont get is how one GW loses me dps...

maiden cargo
#

just always sync them if you have that combo

odd sedge
#

same ilvl lose 1k dps

#

@exotic orchid using addon to import where do I add that

exotic orchid
#

you simmed yourself already I assume, so there is Profile is your result tab

odd sedge
#

i can import my char I guess

#

yes, do I copy that?

exotic orchid
#

yeah

odd sedge
#

from priorities line?

exotic orchid
#

Find this line actions.cds+=/vendetta,if=!talent.exsanguinate.enabled&(!artifact.urge_to_kill.enabled|(!talent.vigor.enabled&energy.deficit>=85)|

#

no

#

this

odd sedge
#

ok i just imported it from armory

exotic orchid
#

yeah that works too

odd sedge
#

ok i paste after that line? what about the rest after it

#

|(talent.vigor.enabled&energy.deficit>=125))

exotic orchid
#

actions.cds+=/vendetta,if=!talent.exsanguinate.enabled&(!artifact.urge_to_kill.enabled|(!talent.vigor.enabled&energy.deficit>=85)|(talent.vigor.enabled&energy.deficit>=125))&cooldown.kingsbane.remains<3

#

line should look like this

odd sedge
#

thanks for your help, redoing sims now

exotic orchid
#

you can experiment a bit with the last number

#

if you want

odd sedge
#

that lost me 5k dps with normal gear 3 MA

exotic orchid
#

strange

merry cloud
#

What do you mean normal gear?

odd sedge
#

it made vendetta interval 4 secs longer

#

my gear I have equipped

exotic orchid
#

can you upload your result here

merry cloud
#

That addition works only for boots and cof

exotic orchid
#

yeah

odd sedge
#

yes I have them

exotic orchid
#

DoS is not optimized as well btw

odd sedge
#

yeah stuff moving too fast for the kind theorycrafters πŸ˜„

#

I will just wait and let it settle before changing anything

#

thanks for your help

merry cloud
#

Can't access html

exotic orchid
#

your report is with 3 ma btw

odd sedge
#

yes my doubt was wether to change one

exotic orchid
#

hmm

odd sedge
#

I have GW and envenom ones, but i dont think I will change anything right now

exotic orchid
#

2k more with the change

odd sedge
#

700k is what I was getting before

exotic orchid
#

yeah and I got 702 with that change to apl

odd sedge
#

itΒ΄s possible I didnt paste it correctly

#

actions.cds+=/vendetta,if=!talent.exsanguinate.enabled&(!artifact.urge_to_kill.enabled|(!talent.vigor.enabled&energy.deficit>=85)|(talent.vigor.enabled&energy.deficit>=125))&cooldown.kingsbane.remains<4

#

seems the same

exotic orchid
#

I actually just copied your profile

odd sedge
#

oh

exotic orchid
#

didnt change anything

odd sedge
#

simming without that line gives me

#

700k

exotic orchid
#

yeah same

odd sedge
#

added line again lets see

exotic orchid
#

WIth DoS optimization

odd sedge
#

5k loss again lol

exotic orchid
#

weird

odd sedge
#

in game im doing like ~750/60

#

putting a 3 instead of a 4 loses me another 1k haha

#

in that line

raven sage
#

So I sim at 666k with dreadlords, just had kiljaeden trinket drop, and now sim at 680k. I simmed the other legendaries, shackles and insignia, and they both simmed lower than the trinket. Does that sound right to you guys? I though shackles and ring were better.

#

I have boots BTW.

hard kettle
#

Does anyone know the rough value of 2000agi on dps? what is it worth? im trying to figure out how much one would gain from dropping a mythic Fond for DoS?

lethal wadi
#

zoldycks and ring are far better than the trinket, unless in aoe situations

round canyon
#

@hard kettle you can find the exact value

#

add ,enchant=2000agility to the end of an item

hard kettle
#

thank you so much

#

im trying to see if a normal mode DoS would be worth switching out for a mythic fond

#

holy shit

#

ok its a lot

#

how many people have looked at the whole DoS vs Fond numbers? i know there is a lot of rng but it seems like if the descrepancy between fond and dos in raw damage can be something like 10mil on krosus. but the 2000agi would make up for that in raw dmg on everything else

odd sedge
#

draught is a steady 10% of my damage as assassination, frond is crap compared

round canyon
#

yeah but frond also has the damage from actually having agi on it

odd sedge
#

true

strong gorge
#

@green wolf you mentioned me?

#

oh

#

I see

#

Did you solve it?

steep cedar
#

hey guys how do i find the nightly simcraft builds?

jagged carbon
#

hey how the prio for trinket work in simcraft? i get 15k dps diff if i go T1 draught of souls T2 tirathon's betrayal or T1 tirathon betrayal T2 draught.. (option 2 siming the highest )

strong gorge
weary parcel
#

@jagged carbon i can take a look if you share your profile/report

sullen dagger
#

Does the latest nightly build include the 4% buffs?

hard kettle
#

i think the fond might actually be better, u can get those wild swings where it does no damage or 2%. but if it does 5% which happens somewhat frequently, the agi alone should outscale draught

#

thats pretty anecdotal though and speaking from about 10 years of experience. id love to know the thoughts of the hardcore tc'ers

raven tulip
#

Is there a reason why DoS sims so low? Live it accounts for about 8% of my damage, but in simcraft it simms way lower than CoF/Urn.

#

I know Frond sims way higher than it does live, should I just agree with the herd and assume CoF/DoS are just the best combo regardless of sim results?

raven sage
#

@lethal wadi Idk man the sims are telling me far different, not reeally far but trinket sims 10k higher than the shackles and the ring

odd sedge
#

simcraft is not perfect, it doesnt value zoldycks very well

#

I can assure it its amazing

pliant briar
#

How many iterations are necessary for sim? Should I just stick to 10 or 25k?

obtuse python
#

did they change something in simc since yesterday?

#

i did not switch any item and im simming around 50k higher

merry cloud
#

@pliant briar use target error. I use as Aethys - 0.1% just for DPS and 0.05% for stat weights

pliant briar
#

Gotcha, and that just runs for certainty as opposed to X iterations?

merry cloud
#

that runs intill there are enough iterations done to have DPS with set error with decent confidence

pliant briar
#

Perfect, thats what I meant. Thanks!

sick shell
#

@odd sedge I noticed that about Zoldyk's, got them last night and simcraft shows only a 9k gain over using an outlaw legendary. Definitely feels like its much bigger than that.

odd sedge
#

it is

pallid laurel
#

when simming the legendary trinket, its showing an average hit of 1.2m damage. but in practice im only getting it to hit for 800k. is this a bug with simulationcraft maybe?

wind otter
#

it's scaling with AP

pallid laurel
#

thanks

high sandal
#

how do you use the nightly builds?

odd sedge
#

you download them, google "simcraft latest"

lapis sorrel
#

Is the latest nightly build spitting out bad Pawn strings?

drowsy cradle
#

I tried to sim the trinket from Moores but the garrote from it does sim well. Does our garrote overwrite it?

#

Moroes

proven dawn
#

No

drowsy cradle
#

K thanks. I'll try it again later

mystic jolt
#

is sub not simming correctly on simc>

urban wasp
#

? why

mystic jolt
#

when I sim it for my character, it puts me at ~270k dps, but i pulled around 400k on H Trilliax with it

#

same gear and talents

sterile jolt
#

Was the KB bug programmed into simc in the first place?

maiden cargo
#

yes

sterile jolt
#

hmm nuts

maiden cargo
#

simc mimics ingame

#

so if there is a bug ingame we implement it

sterile jolt
#

K, i see it i nthe commits now

#

thanks

dim salmon
#

can someone sim me

#

either I retarded or

#

Dark Satyr nech enchant is showing me pulling 100k more

#

neck*

#

can someone run me and tell me if thats an accurate number?

#

Piratebae - US Bleedinghollow

#

im 879 ilvl whats dps for that?

#

usually

odd sedge
#

sim it

wild quartz
#

is agonizing fix present in latest simc build?

#

(nightly)

exotic orchid
#

yes

random gorge
#

Just got mantle and I noticed that with subterfuge and mantle equipped, simcraft uses vanish before opening

split sorrel
#

I don't think that's the case

#

because ShD@3 is prio

rain ice
#

is there a thing about how SimC has a bias for haste

#

for rogues at least?

#

or should i have confidence that simc is right

maiden cargo
#

talents, gear, energy regen, specc annd fight type affect the outcome of stats weight, i personaly had haste be my best stat as outlaw rogue, while now its by far the worst.

left notch
#

So I'm thinking that if you didn't have CoF / Boots this recent 4% buff will increase our damage before the Kingsbane fix. Does anyone have some math or logs to prove/disprove this theory?

pastel sundial
#

is there a reason why NB sims for 4.6% for me?

reef canyon
wooden dragon
#

Is trinkets stiill buggy in the nightly sims? Like NB is suddenly simming a lot higher afther the nightly sim with kingsbane AP fix

lament cargo
#

@reef canyon is the Rogue simulation updated to reflect the Feb 3rd Hotfix yet?

#

Already live, some skills got buffed by 4%

reef canyon
#

we have it on our dev server, just have to push the update. Will have that tonight at the latest.

#

If you want to use it now, I can show you how, it's pretty quick.

#

Then edit the dmg multiplier to the new one, so change it from 0.7 to 0.11. Save it, and you're all set. You do have to be logged in to edit it (so it can be saved to your account). Or if you aren't in a rush, we'll have it updated soon πŸ˜ƒ

tender ibex
#

i ran that edit zooper, and it took my DPS from 583 to 585K, shouldnt it have boosted to 606K? (4% add to 583)

#

multiplier went from .07 to .11

pastel sundial
#

you dont get flat 4% dmg

tender ibex
#

ya i know, but to most abilities under that multipler, DeathFromAbove, Hemorrhage, FanOfKnives, PoisonedKnife, Envenom, DeadlyPoison, DeadlyPoisonApplication, KingsbaneMainHand, KingsbaneOffHand, Kingsbane, MutilateMainHand, MutilateOffHand, Rupture, Garrote

#

was expecting more than a 2K dps add

#

from a 4% buff to most abilities

maiden cargo
#

agreed

pastel sundial
#

should be about 3.3% buff or so

#

i think it affects about 85% of our dmg?..idk the numbers of PB on average

#

yeah sounds about right..should be 4% *0.85 on average

#

unless i missed something..but i think beside melee pb and from the shadows all should be buffed by 4%

tender ibex
#

nm i fucked up, i wasnt comparing like for like talents in sims

#

changing from nightstalker to subter took my dps from 583 to 597k

#

with the 4% mod

pastel sundial
#

which comes close to the 3.3%

#

well not exactly but it depends on how much PB you do

lament cargo
#

@reef canyon thanks. πŸ˜„

reef canyon
#

@tender ibex So now you are getting the dps you'd expect, right? (sorry, catching up)

tender ibex
#

Ya closer to

#

not where we were, but closer to. thanks

Mr. Robot has informed me that he will be shining your armor tonight when you aren't using it. He loves getting <3s

hard kettle
#

Do the latest nightly sims include the 4% buff to certain abilties?

#

*does

alpine gyro
#

you really dont ahve to scroll that far to see the answer lol

random gorge
#

@split sorrel sorry should have been more clear, simcraft uses vanish before opening with mantle equipped as assassination.

#

with subterfuge

viscid sonnet
#

@alpine gyro help i cant find it

#

y/n?

gleaming root
#

is the nightly sim updated with hotifx

lilac vine
#

@random gorge subterfuge sim is broken. it is unusable. damage calc is incorrect and yeah the opener is another thing

hushed quiver
#

Are stat weights fluid on rogues like other classes?

lime thunder
#

I'm having 4 piece improperly sim with the latest build.

alpine gyro
#

@viscid sonnet we have it on our dev server, just have to push the update. Will have that tonight at the latest.

#

said around 2pm pst

viscid sonnet
#

cheers buddy sorry to be a nag

#

@alpine gyro is this for AMR perhaps? i looked at the simcraft commits from the last day and cant see anything, also the talk about a dev server

alpine gyro
#

i'm not sure if its amr or simc, but yes it sounds like only the dev server has the update, and will go live later tonight

viscid sonnet
#

thought you were a dev πŸ˜›

alpine gyro
#

nah

reef canyon
#

@viscid sonnet On AMR, we have it on our dev server and it will be updated tonight. However, I can show you a quick way to enter it now so you can use it.

#

Click the edit button at the top. Change the damage multiplier from 0.07 to 0.11. Save it.

#

Go back to the simulator, select YOUR version (you will name it when you create it), and you're good to go πŸ˜ƒ

quartz halo
#

is the 4% ability buff implemented in nightly yet?

maiden cargo
#

no

wet peak
#

Greetings, i assume this has been reported already. But just incase.. i noticed the there is no condition in the Outlaw Simcraft APL differentiating the usage of BTE in a single target vs multi target scenario.

maiden cargo
#

Question about sims. KJ's burning wish dmg doesn't show on the sims

#

Any idea why?

hard hull
#

is the hotfix for rogues in the latest nightly?

wet peak
#

nope

runic flame
#

Is there a way to make it so 6buffs dont count in Simc?

#

for outlaw?

#

or AMR

round canyon
#

theres probably a way if you dig into the guts of Simc

#

but why would you want to?

last ferry
#

to update simc do i just need to download the new patch and run it?

regal agate
#

just download the latest nightly version and unpack/install it

wet peak
#

@runic flame yes you can override spell data

fallen valley
#

probably the millionth time someone asked you that today

#

none of dh discussing it right now'

dark obsidian
#

hey guys, is the 4% buff for assa in the nightly build of simcraft?

gleaming briar
#

Hi. I just got 3x vandetta relics. This will make my weapon to 883 itl since the relics are quite low. I also got duskwalkers boots. Is it worth trading my weapon down with 3x vandetta relics for my current 903 weapon with only one vandetta relic?

gleaming root
#

probably asked question is the 4 % updated with newest sims:D

#

that went up for 3 min ago

rapid plaza
#

Tribbz, when I made the swap I got a 10k dps increase from a 25? ilvl downgrade so it was worth when I did it a few months ago, before I had boots. My gut says yes, but I'll be that ass that says you should really sim it.

left notch
#

So are people simming higher now than pre kingsbane fix?

vocal timber
#

so is 4% dmg buff for assa live then?

late willow
#

The buff is live but the 4% was just implemented as a commit like 2 hrs ago. The most recent build should have it

vernal plover
#

how strong is nightbloom atm for Assa. My guilt say its now very bad But i do very good dps with?

late willow
#

Seems like around 2.4% dps increase

kindred epoch
#

Are frond simming accurate ? i gain close to 20k dps on simc as soon as i equp the frond instead of 890 Urn

plush shard
#

Iam simming nightbloom with 3-5% around 898 itmelvl overall

iron obsidian
#

Simmed my char last night at 887 w/ 2pc at ~563k. Simmed with the newest commit at ~585k. About a ~3.8% dps increase.

#

Can't say if it's an improvement from pre kingsbane because I didn't have 2pc back then.

maiden cargo
#

k im simming 5 k less with the new nightly :<

rare trail
#

why am i simming 60k dps higher when i take alacrity instead of aganizing poison when i see most taking this for bleed build

maiden cargo
#

how much mastery do u have?

rare trail
#

120%

#

and legendary sholders if that makes a difference

maiden cargo
#

go full mastery with shoulders i guess ull see a difference at 135%+

late willow
#

Alacrity is a full about 50k behind AP for me.

#

118% mastery

mellow kite
#

would you guys trade 6% mastery for a 15ilvl 2% crit increase

#

im a sin rogue btw

rotund oak
#

@mellow kite whats the channel called?

mellow kite
#

@rotund oak i simmmed myself 3 times different every time

rotund oak
#

different by what amount

mellow kite
#

4k difference between the 3

rotund oak
#

then you did something wrong, maybe low iterations

mellow kite
#

692k the first 695k the second and 691k the third

#

25k iterations

maiden cargo
#

!trinket

Is the 4% in the nightly yet?

Hi. Does subterfuge extend shoulder leggo buff by 3 seconds?

errant idol
#

not for shaw

should be the same for shoulder no?

Why is it that I can sim gear in simcraft and get one result, then 10 minutes later with same exact gear/spec do it again nad have almost 40k variance?

does simc still have issues with trinkets when using the addon import?

Is there a way to remove food buff, combat potions, and flasks from simulations? I've only found where to remove Blood Lust.

merry cloud

remove lines like
actions.precombat+=/food,name=seedbattered_fish_plate
and
actions.cds=potion,name=old_war,if=buff.bloodlust.react|target.time_to_die<=25|debuff.vendetta.up&cooldown.vanish.remains<5
and

I cant see it in pinned, a friend told me frond now sims correctly, is that true?

Alright, thanks

#

quick question... is simcraft currently not working properly for sub? imported my rogue via several methods and end up on 497k..

#

had no time to check discord the last few days, that's why I am asking

regal agate
#

sub should work properly

#

however you may come up with some apl changes that improve your dps slighly

sleek moss
#

gotta check again, ty for the answer^^

regal agate
#

if you found a mistake feel free to explain it

sleek moss
#

okay, dunno what changed tbh, imported it again and now the numbers are as expected

#

If this happens again and I can replicate it, I will come back πŸ˜„

regal agate
#

there was a bug earlyer

#

i pinned it

#

but that was only effecting assasination

sleek moss
#

ye I saw that, checked the pins before I asked >.< really don't know why this happend. gonna check if I can replicate it later

maiden cargo
#

hey guys, im new to this so if im asking in the wrong channel just say:P

#

so anyway my question is about my dps

#

ive just simulated assassination and outlaw(my main spec) and wanted to choose a spec that does more dps

#

my assassin spec does 355k dps

#

and my oulaw 414k dps

regal agate
#

outlaw will show you a better result on simulations

#

assasination will give you better result ingame

maiden cargo
#

yeah

regal agate
#

thats due to the design of outlaw, assasination is more consistant

maiden cargo
#

yeah, thats what i noticed

#

but when ive been testing both specs

#

ive noticed that assassin is more wobbly with the dps

#

and outlaw is going up with dps, and then it goes all the way down

regal agate
#

btw. as you pointed out earlyer this is the wrong channel for this discussion.
that comes from cd's assasination has shorter cd's that makes it more "wobby" in the graphic

maiden cargo
#

so on waht cannel could i go for this discussion?

#

channel*

regal agate
#

simple question or general

maiden cargo
#

alright , thanks

autumn bramble
#

shall i change my "target" in sims or should i just leave it custom

hasty wagon
#

Bot commands don't work in this channel

lusty spire
#

Okay, thanks :/

#

I am a Bit clueless right now. Assuming equal item levels- which trinkets are best for assassination. I get different results on different simming pages / guides and don't know what i should believe

#

Or which simming Page gives the most realistic results for trinkets

gaunt pelican
#

sim it yourself gives the most realistic result

#

Does API save Kiljadens for Vendetta also Gnawed Thumb ring?

#

Is there any "premade" trinket sims for assa rogue?

#

Is Nightblooming Frond still simming higher than it should be in the latest simulationcraft build?

maiden cargo
#

Hey yall, just dropped a 880 DoS (replacing my 860 EoC), but it sims 10k lower ? It does show 1 mil per execute, however shouldn't it be like 2-3 mil ?

regal agate
#

the apl doesent line it up well if i remember right, this could mean you get more benefit from a good use ingame then in the simulation (unless you change the apl to do it right).

maiden cargo
#

Ok, thought as much

#

thx for the feedback πŸ˜ƒ

regal agate
#

if you changed it and there is still a huge gap report back with a reference log

ember cape
#

Replace old_war by prolonged_power

regal agate
#

import through armory or copy the profile string from the result of a simulation

#

then replace the name for the pot in the string

odd sedge
#

how accurate is the target error function on simcraft? its so. much. faster.

late willow
#

Its as accurate as you set it.

#

If you chose 1% then thats the target it looks for in the error. If you choose 0.03% thats the target it looks for in the dps error.

maiden cargo
#

yo

#

i play boots+ring or boots+cloak :D?

regal agate
#

depends on boss, cloak is better with adds

#

but you can just sim it with the legendary combinations πŸ˜‰

strong zinc
#

Do any of you guys know how the Master Alchemist trait actually works with AP ? The +3% to AP is 3% of what ?

#

I sim higher with relics for that trait than Vendetta / GW or even Envenom (I have 4p) and I'd like to understand how it actually works :/

maiden cargo
#

What is the best one..Boots+3MA+CoF?
Or Boots+2MA+1GW+CoF?

flat flare
#

A question: Is opener used in simulation the most optimal/the best?

strong gorge
#

It's hard to prove anything is 'best' especially in all situations. It's the one we've found best under the constraints we have. Feel free to try and improve it and experiment though :)

regal agate
#

you can play around with the apl for opener, this will provide you difrent results.
if you find something better feel free to share πŸ˜ƒ

solemn plaza
#

Just wondering, have you managed to sim the shoulder bug yet? If it's worth doing other than during opener?

wanton grove
#

I've noticed that SimC is trying to ambush from Shadowmeld, and you can't do that. I removed that condition from the APL and gained a bit more DPS. I'm Outlaw btw.

crimson hinge
#

you can ambush from meld

wanton grove
#

Yeah, was just testing it. Stealth bar doesn't come up but I dragged the button and yes, you can. Nonetheless, not ambushing still nets more dps to me. Probably that's just me tho.

broken pelican
#

Is the nightly build updated for the sin hotfixes lately? When I sim it still shows Kingsbane as #1 dmg

mystic jacinth
#

you mean #1 execute time?

#

that's correct

broken pelican
#

ohhhhhhhh alright, i have been mis-reading that part of simc for a long time then rofl

mystic jacinth
#

haha

rotund oak
#

not sure if someone already did it, but i tested a bit with DoS APL, and this line gained me 3% / 17k DPS

#

actions.cds+=/use_item,name=draught_of_souls,if=equipped.140808&energy.deficit>=80&(talent.agonizing_poison.enabled&debuff.agonizing_poison.stack=5&debuff.surge_of_toxins.remains>3|!talent.agonizing_poison.enabled)

#

For Assa AP

odd sedge
#

Yeah was thinking of something like that, since you should always use draught with surge, if APL doesnt do that then it needs to

primal slate
#

are the Zoldyck family training shackles valued appropriate in simc? only getting 1k dps increase over symbiote

merry cloud
#

Simc assumes uniform Hp distribution so no

primal slate
#

thanks thats what I was hoping to hear

lunar trout
#

How do I switch from Potion of the Old War to Potion of Prolonged Power within SimulationCraft?

mellow elbow
#

There's a string named Potion_of_old_War I believe

#

Just change it to prolonged_power

ashen crater
#

@merry cloud Can you elaborate on why Zoldyck family training shackles are undervalued in simc. I would think a uniform health distribution would be what you want. 30% of the time the target is below 30% health.

rain ice
#

More dmg earlier on

naive birch
#

it's not that they're undervalued as much as the belt is way overvalued

rain ice
#

So cinidaria is inflated

merry cloud
#

@ashen crater people said it above also Zoldyck is great for certain encounters while belt is most of the time worthless

mellow elbow
#

Is it up to date?

merry cloud
#

use latest nightly always

mellow elbow
#

If I want to test ST, I just import my char and hit "sim" button?

regal agate
#

yes that should do it

cyan hill
#

So, anyone around who's willing to help a newbie with simulations? Guildies are telling me it's a good way to get more dps out of my character, but I'm very confused. I've already run the simulation through simc and simulationcraft, but I'm confused on what I'm looking at....

umbral roost
#

Hey I know the sim version currently out over vaules Kingsbane, is the nightly buiilds safe to use?

merry cloud
#

if you are talkinga about KB AP bug that was hotfixed - it is fixed in simc as well

umbral roost
#

okay thanks

#

will use the nightly buidls

fervent willow
#

Man even with these sim guides I don't get it. I got a 900 ring with vers and mastery. It would replace an 865 ring with crit and mastery (higher mastery than 900 ring). On pure stat weights simming myself the 900 ring has more stats. However, I simmed myself after equipping the new ring, and my dps went down

nocturne niche
bleak sky
#

You'd need to make other optimizations for mantle also

#

like vanish banking

vivid siren
#

vanish -> mut isnt helping either

nocturne niche
#

With subterfuge, what does it matter? As long as you garrote within the 3 second window it snapshots 125%

tribal stream
#

it matters because you should vanish rupture

bleak sky
#

Not if you have mantle

keen lodge
#

sorry if i am not in the right chat

#

but someone is saying slice and dice is way better

#

because they nerfed it

patent moat
#

anyone know if Nightblooming Frond still siming higher then live?

gaunt pelican
#

hey guys im trying to save stat weights for both assasin and Outlaw, but whenever i import my values into a profile called Outlaw it will create a profile called "myname" instead of going into "outlaw" which is where i pasted it'

#

like do i need to manually change my import string manually each time?

gaunt gale
#

yhou can rename it after the fact, I believe.

#

you just rename it "Outlaw" in Pawn

gaunt pelican
#

yeh but that means when you import the string that got exported as ur character name originally then yeah

iron elk
#

uhm, im the only that have more dps with 3MA-cof-boots and kingsbane on CD
instead to 2MA/1GW-cof-boots and kingsbane on vendetta?

torn dome
#

The apls arent even working properly so the comparison is pointless

iron elk
#

? what you mean?

torn dome
#

The apls are simply not working as you claim and are suboptimal to begin with

split sorrel
#

y

#

maybe I'll spent some hours updating it

#

but I guess blizzard will nerf/buff it the next day

#

so I'm not very motivated, last time they killed my motivation about CDR things

torn dome
#

I specifically ment the changes made by this guy. Kb from stealth, syncing not actually working

#

So the comparison was incorrect to begin with

iron elk
#

kingsbane,if=(talent.exsanguinate.enabled&dot.rupture.exsanguinated)|(!talent.exsanguinate.enabled&buff.envenom.up&(debuff.vendetta.up|cooldown.vendetta.remains>10))

torn dome
#

In your sync apl intervals are different

iron elk
#

dont mean that at least the simulator try to wait vendetta if the CD is less than 10sec?
for the other i simply wroted
actions.maintain+=/kingsbane
so im pretty sure that it is on CD

torn dome
#

And the other apl kb usage is fucked alltogether

#

Ye so it opens up with it first

#

Which is far from optimal

iron elk
#

uhm, true

torn dome
#

In addition whenever you modify apl with dos equipped you will break it unless you know exactly what to do. Its not quite simple

regal agate
#

@torn dome mind sharing your apl changes so ppl are able to compare shoulders more accurately?

torn dome
#

I threw it out weeks ago but it didng get put into simc

#

And it only works with a fixed setup, offers no dos support etc

regal agate
#

thanks

iron elk
#

dos damage appear to be the same for 3MA and 2MA/1GW

torn dome
#

Ye but it is using dos in very much a plsce you dont want to be using it in

iron elk
#

plsce?

torn dome
#

Place. Phone typo

iron elk
#

you mean in the vendetta uptime?

torn dome
#

Not really discussion for here. And dont actually have access to simc rn so cant explain/fix

iron elk
#

fixed with garrote as 1Β° spell
but apparently is a dps loss xD

I have one question to sim Myth+ Dungeons. What should I configure to simulate Myth+ (> 9) ? Patchwerk with 3 Targets an 2 min battlelength?

does anyone know if trinket sims are operating correctly atm? DoS seems to only be giving ~300dps increase from an 885 tirathons betrayal

I have question, is it possible to simulate entire raid team at once?

halcyon falcon

Can someone write me the action line for gnawed thumb ring? im not that good in things like that...

delicate cipher
#

Is it possible to mass extract certain people?

wanton shell
#

@split sorrel hello wanted to ask. is frond simming correctly in the latest nightly, there hasnt been an update from blizz side. is it just that unreliable? and does the apl take that unreliability under consideration?

modern aurora
#

how can an apl take a procc into consideration?
APL = Action Priority List ... Simulating a player doing actions so it can't "use" proccs

merry cloud
#

What exactly do you want to do?

modern aurora
#

i was trying to answer sangreals question if you are asking me

merry cloud
#

How should apl take frond unpredictability into consideration? I am not sure

delicate cipher
#

Is it possible to extract full raid team at once to create profile for simulation?

merry cloud
#

Frond is just passive damage that is not affected really by any special attack you do( iirc )

modern aurora
#

yes Lorentz that is correct

merry cloud
#

@delicate cipher I don't think so

#

Your armory doesn't really know "this is raid team"

modern aurora
#

could be deprecated aswell dk

merry cloud
#

So then I don't get the question at all about frond

mellow elbow
#

According to a guide evoked by a "!simc" command, all I need to do is just a paste a /simc string and I'm good to go?

merry cloud
#

It will use default apl iirc, yes

mellow elbow
#

Can I look into that default apl iirc?

#

Is there a more detailed guide how to make your own?

merry cloud
#

Import char from armory

#

That will explicitly generate apl

mellow elbow
#

All right

#

What about guide?

#

Or it's on their (simc) site

wanton shell
#

guess im asking a dumb question in a wrong way

#

lets just oversimplify

#

is frond simming how much its supposed to. and if it is does it represent correct damage?

#

or is it too rng to sim properly?

pallid tapir
#

if it is too rng, you would be able to see in the dps bars for each one of iterations I believe

stark sentinel
#

wonder why nighstalker + mantle (744k) sims higher than subterfuge + mantle (731k), shouldnt subterfuge be higher ?

mellow elbow
#

Probably sim doesn't take mantle into consideration etc

torn dome
#

You want to scroll up for the mantle apl if you want any remotely close results

torn dome
#

Yes

#

If you have dos you will have to add it yourself to apl. Also only works with mpap with subterfuge

modern aurora
#

@wanton shell we can't know for sure if frond is simming correctly we can just compare the sim results to live results... that is hard because of the major rng this item brings
the rng of this item is represented in the dps variance in simc

stark sentinel
#

ok, thank u weak, tried it with ur apl got 34k more, seems legit xD

torn dome
#

Mantle is pretty sweet

late willow
#

Yeah it's pretty strong

hard kettle
#

I am showing a near 30k dps loss going from a 905 Fond to 895 DoS

#

does that seem reasonable or is that a sim APL issue?

novel lava
#

where do i paste that to add it to the apl? never edited apl before

eternal patio
#

@torn dome Hey weak, Stjern told me u might have some APL for subterfuge opener/rotation?

torn dome
#

Literalli 5 posts above

#

Oh thanks

#

The example from sim also shows ooener

eternal patio
#

THis one, right?

torn dome
#

Jup

eternal patio
#

Aight ty

#

So when i got the crit buff from the shoulders, should i still clip envenom with SoT? Or just spam envenom to make use of the critbuff?

torn dome
#

Not the channel for said question but you want to spend maximum amount of your energy during mantle

eternal patio
#

Alright thanks

bleak sky
#

What is the part I add to the APL for DoS

steady jolt
#

Hi, some one can help me with simCraft? i want to change relic for simulate dps

regal agate
#

if you have the relics in your inventory use the addon simbuilder.
if you dont own the relics go to wowhead, find your relic and replace it in your input string (id's are in the url)

steady jolt
#

Ok thx ihave relic in my bag πŸ˜ƒ

regal agate
#

simbuilder offers a seperat window (acessable through your char window).
you can replace the relic then in these seperat window and copy the simc string.
this means you dont need to replace them in your weapon

steady jolt
#

Ok, thx for help, but where do you copy the simc string?

regal agate
#

you copy it from the window and paste it in simc

steady jolt
#

Ok

#

And for a trinket i don't have on bag? i go on wowhead?

regal agate
#

you go to wowhead and copy the id/bonusid from the url

Hello guys sorry to bother you with the same question but is frond simming correctly ?

regal agate
#

yes

inland flicker
#

I've made an MMO-C thread to discuss mantle and subterfuge since it seems the vast majority of rogues are still under the impression nightstalker is king, trying to compile info like Weak's APL and ideal opener.. hopefully it doesn't get nuked by mmo-c retards insisting on the feelycraft but feel free to add any of ya'ls findings or APL improvements etc. to the thread so we dont' have to try to sort through these discord channels to find nice information http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/2166163-Theorycrafting-Subterfuge-gt-Nightstalker-With-Mantle-(AMR-SIMC)?p=44514088#post44514088

naive birch
#

so amr sims subterfuge higher than nightstalker for me even without mantle. is amr just flat wrong?

inland flicker
#

Phup check out the post I made, my feelycraft is telling me that subterfuge might just be flat better than night stalker now even w/o mantle because the nightstalker preference is pretty firmly rooted from when we were running deeper stratagem... if nothing else it may make us more flexible in how we spend our energy during our CD's to maximize kingsbane damage

#

but i don't know enough to back it up with math yet

regal agate
#

subterfuge isnt that interesting without mantle

regal agate
#

can you post the results simc gave you?

naive birch
#

one sec

#

simc had nightstalker at 634 and subterfuge at 625

#

that amr sim has my weapon at 54 when it's actually at 46 which is why simc is significantly lower

#

main is outlaw

#

but still, i am curious how it gets subterfuge higher

odd sedge
#

amr is wrong in a whole lot of shit

naive birch
#

such as?

odd sedge
#

trinkets, relics, etc

#

mastery for outlaw

naive birch
#

i know it's gearing recommendations are often wacky

odd sedge
#

they still insist on that

naive birch
#

but its actual simulations have alwasy seemed decent

#

they were saying ap was better than exsang way before simc was

odd sedge
#

a simulation that says mastery is bis for outlaw, sorry not a fan

naive birch
#

their sim doesn't though

#

their default gearing recommendation does

odd sedge
#

it does they made a post justifying it even

naive birch
#

if I raise my mastery and lower something else in amr, my simmed dps in there goes down

regal agate
#

guys every tool has it uses and upsides/downsides

#

we dont want a arm vs simcraft discussion

odd sedge
#

its normal its not very good, they are only 2 or 3 ppl working on all classes

regal agate
#

you need to adjust simcraft also to your task

#

it doesent give you the best result by default for every szenario

naive birch
#

i've looked closely at the log of actions the sim took when running rogue parses and it doesn't do anything wrong

regal agate
#

it does what you tell him to do, and thats decidet by the apl

bleak sky
#

Simc has NS at 703 and sub at 742k

#

with weak's apl

naive birch
#

that's with mantle, right?

bleak sky
#

yup

odd sedge
#

thats only for a legendary...

#

not overall talent worth

naive birch
#

i'm saying AMR has subtefuge ahead with no specific legendary

regal agate
#

ye mantle is f.ex. a special case, weak invested time to optimize the apl for mantle and got a good result.
if its the optimal one isnt clear however its alot better then the default one

bleak sky
#

I will say that if you have mantle you should ALWAYS hold KB so it lines up with Vendetta. This is with CoF only.

#

Came out a 14k dps loss to just use KB on CD

#

Even if you lose KB uses

regal agate
#

yes the optimization is for CoF

whole zinc
#

does anyone know if nbf still sim higher as it should?

compact shell
#

Is the nightblooming frond trinket simming way to much as of right now for sin rogues?

naive birch
#

so when i run the default assassination apl with subterfuge, the first action it takes is vanish

#

prepot in stealth and then vanish

#

i'm guessing it's not optimized

sly yoke
#

i was just about to say that

torn dome
#

yes, the reason you wanna use my apl for mantle testing

sly yoke
#

i dont think it has "always garrote" logic for subterfuge

#

so it wouldnt be surprising simc would show it as a dps loss

inland flicker
#

wEak in theorycrafting i saw you were posting some sims with an APL showing ring / mantle was substantially outperfomring mantle/boots any chance youve got that APL or did i misunderstand thatw

naive birch
#

this is not with mantle though

#

i'm still wondering if subterfuge is closer or better than NS even without mantle

regal agate
#

the apl is posted here several times

torn dome
#

Without mantle I have no idea

#

Am I allowed to pin this

strong rune
#

yes, at this point you might as well

compact shell
#

Is the nightblooming frond trinket simming way to much as of right now for sin rogues?

strong rune
#

seen an inordinately large number of requests for it

regal agate
#

ye would be nice to add a text to explain it

strong rune
#

it's clearly an improvement, actually, so I'm just going to merge it into SIMC

torn dome
#

dont yet

#

It only works for certain setup

#

Got to work on it in the weekend

inland flicker
#

Thanks wEak. Even with that APL i'm showing about 5% more dmg from mantle/boots/cof over mantle/ring but i'm guessing it was a mastery thing cuz i lose so much swapping out my rings

compact shell
#

wEak can you please reply if you know? :) Thanks in advance

torn dome
#

And abou the everlasting frond.
The damage numbers currently match in game numbers exactly. I just think in game it has lower ppm than simc has it right now. So I believe it oversims

compact shell
#

So you can't trust it at all, is what you're saying...

#

I'm simming 20k difference from Draught of souls 895 to Nightblooming frond 895, not sure what to do here...

torn dome
#

With my few hundred pulls of data frond is about 3% of my damage with the hc version. Where sim shows it at 5+%

whole zinc
#

@torn dome thanks πŸ˜ƒ

regal agate
#

weak just trys to explain that his apl modification is for a specefic case and isnt ment for everyone

torn dome
#

I would have to do quite some work to get it to work with cof and boots

#

And it doesnt support any other talent setups outside the usual mp ap

naive birch
#

in simc is there a way in the apl to force the first x actions

#

like i want the first 4 things i do to be this, regardless of what procs or how many cp i get

#

then once that's done, use normal logic

torn dome
#

Like amr has?
Afaik no

naive birch
#

is there a time thing then? I thought there was. equivalent to "ignore this rule if we are in the first 10 seconds of the fight"

bleak sky
#

@torn dome It seems to work fine out of the box for COF. It was a dps loss to not save KB until Vendetta came off

#

Since boots reduce vendetta even more you won't need to bank KB really anymore

torn dome
#

Ye well Ill get a chance to look at it when I get back home

bleak sky
#

I'm playing around with seeing if I should bank DoS for vanish right now

strong rune
#

Yes, you can do that

#

You can force a sequence in SIMC

torn dome
#

More work for friday it is πŸ€”

#

Is it possible to force a sequence each vanish then?

strong rune
#

Yes.

#

You'd have a run_action_list trigger.

torn dome
#

Shieet this apl gonna be the length of a short novel

strong rune
#

It's not done much around the codebase these days.

#

There's also a "time thing" - the variable "time" is time-since-start-of-combat

bleak sky
#

The answer appears to be no. You should not bank DoS for Vanish

strong rune
#

so you can condition something only on the first ten seconds of the fight by blocking it with if=time<10

sly yoke
#

that surprises me

#

considering what battle cry does to it

bleak sky
#

It surprised me also honestly

#

So I'd love someone to confirm

torn dome
#

I really should learn to use simc for real

naive birch
#

@strong rune once a sequence is done it never gets run again unless i have a restart rule?

#

ami reading that right

strong rune
#

see the documentttion, i dont remember off the top of my head

#

that control flow block is rarely used these days

#

precisely because it's hard to reason about

torn dome
#

I think this is perfect for something like mantle vanish

#

Making it pool and then forcing a rotation

lavish yoke
#

got two 880 vendetta relics and legendary boots is it orth to switch for 895 toxic blades and 895 rupture crit?

bleak sky
#

I think I might see why. For some reason after vanishing it is using envenom waiting .3 seconds. Mutilating and then using envenom and then finally using DoS

actions.cds+=/use_item,name=draught_of_souls,if=equipped.140808&energy.deficit>=80&buff.master_assassins_initiative.up&(talent.agonizing_poison.enabled&debuff.agonizing_poison.stack=5&debuff.surge_of_toxins.remains>3|!talent.agonizing_poison.enabled)

#

was forcing it to wait for the mantle buff.

torn dome
#

Mantle has 2 buffs

bleak sky
#

That might be it ahaha

torn dome
#

initiative and initiative_aura

#

one of them is during stealth one is after stealth

bleak sky
#

Yea

#

Still no

#

don't bank it

naive birch
#

all i did was get rid of the initial bad vanish, and with opener sequence and now subterfuge is simming at 632 for me vs 634 for NS

#

without mantle

#

no other changes to the apl

#

the default apl

torn dome
#

Nice. This also proves my feelcraft of ns rupture being weak nowadays for sin

#

But people have it so deep in their mindset

#

Also would point towards subter 100% in m+ and such

naive birch
#

it's all i use. i haven't been taking it off even on single target

sly yoke
#

@bleak sky you need a conditional to see if it would be up again before vanish is up

#

meaning cd remaining of vanish > 85 seconds

#

&(buff.master_assassins_initiative.up|cooldown.vanish.remains>85)&

#

i think it would be

bleak sky
#

I'll give it a try

#

I think that would only help on very long fights though

strong forge
#

What changed regarding NS rupture @torn dome ?

#

That seems shockingly close even without mantle

torn dome
#

The change in our damage break down. RUpture is less and less of our total damage

#

So buffing it every now and then is also less impactful

wanton shell
#

well then

#

how is subter then better

#

since the only thing is that u basically vanish for a stronger garrote?

#

if u dont have mantle i really dont see the value lol

#

unless i am missing something

#

btw gonna ask here quick as well @torn dome tirathon 900 dos 910. use together yes or no?

#

the shared on use cd is 15 seconds

torn dome
#

as always sim it

wanton shell
#

im asking if it will be clanky

torn dome
#

and subter garrote actually hits like a truck

wanton shell
#

i think the sims will show its higher

#

since both are extra flat dmg

inland flicker
#

I'm very much with wEak on the feelcraft and the logs are showing it too- on average the few players running subterfuge on every fight are substantially outperforming nightstalker. I'd guess its because it makes our big damage less reliant on trying to tie all our cd's onto a vanish timer that doesn't match anything

torn dome
#

Then it should be higher

sly yoke
#

its actually really easy to napkin math which is better

wanton shell
#

but it feels weird

#

to have 2 on use tirnkets

#

πŸ˜›

inland flicker
#

i did the napkin math earlier, NS rupture does about 20-25% more damage, but i'd be willing to bet the flexibility you get from not having to vanish ruptrure more than makes up for it

naive birch
#

i've now got sub now doing better than the default apl for NS

#

without mantle

torn dome
#

Wanna share an example html

sly yoke
#

average rupture cast * .5 vs average garrote cast *1.25

#

whichever is higher is the better talent

inland flicker
#

Garrote: 373,401 over 18 seconds.
373,401/18=20,744.5 DPS
373,401*1.25=466,751.25 (125% bonus to garrote damage)
466,751.25+373,401=840,152.25 (total damage from 18 second garrote)
840,152.25/18=46,675.125 (DPS from garrote)

Rupture: 912,720 over 24 seconds.
912,720/24=38,030 DPS.
912,720*.5=456,360 (additional damage from nightstalker)
912,720+456,360=1,369,080
1,369,080/24=57,045 (DPS from Rupture)

Potential maximum empowered bonus for garrote: 18*.75=13.5
13.5 seconds before initial refresh, refresh = 18-13.5=4.5
18+4.5=22.5
First garrote + second garrote = 13.5+22.5=36
36 seconds of empowered garrote

57,045*36=2,053,620

46,675*24=1,120,200 *.5=

1,120,200 *.5=560,100
1,120,200+560,100=1,680,300

#

theres your napkin match all the way done mouse

torn dome
#

Rupture should have higher EV due to bota tho

#

Dont forget it

inland flicker
#

yeah BOTA has a much higher ceiling

sly yoke
#

i mean if youre just using log numbers

#

average cast is still average cast

#

all other factors are in there

#

either way its suuuch a small difference

inland flicker
#

but thats all assuming single target and almost every fight in NH is gonna give you another target to garrote and two empowered garrotes are gonna do more dmg than the rupture, not to mention energy gain

sly yoke
#

yes i agree

#

i use sub on most fights

torn dome
#

Ye any cleave sub will blow ns

inland flicker
#

yup. i'd say we should start seeing a subterfuge meta emergre pretty soon here

sly yoke
#

honestly all it would take

#

is fixing the simc apl

#

lol

torn dome
#

Ill get to it on friday.
Relax bois'

sly yoke
#

lulz

wanton shell
#

wait im confused

#

u cast 2 garrotes in a row?

#

when u open with sub?

sly yoke
#

yeah

inland flicker
#

ur the man weak

sly yoke
#

to immediately pandemic

#

i think garrote, other ablility, garotte

#

is actually what you want

torn dome
#

One potential could be garrote KB garrote with mantle

#

πŸ€”

wanton shell
#

and then use vanish on cd

#

to empower garrote'/

#

so basically same thing?

sly yoke
#

yes

#

the only addition would be multidot

#

if theres more than one target

#

because you have 3 seconds of no garrote cd

wanton shell
#

unless no energy ofc

#

but ye guess u pool for it

sly yoke
#

it can be annoying to get used to

#

i have vanished many times with garrote still on cooldown

rotund oak
#

This is the current line for Vanish Subterfuge

#

actions.cds+=/vanish,if=talent.subterfuge.enabled&dot.garrote.refreshable&((spell_targets.fan_of_knives<=3&combo_points.deficit>=1+spell_targets.fan_of_knives)|(spell_targets.fan_of_knives>=4&combo_points.deficit>=4))

#

What is Fan of knives doing there?

naive birch
#

it seems to be trying to avoid using vanish if you have multiple targets and fan of knives is likely to get you to max cp

#

i think. seems to be missing the point of throwing empowered garrote on multiple targets

#

or maybe i'm misunderstanding the logic

strong rune
#

wait, am I super dumb?

#

i really don't play assassination because i have to ask this, but doesn't FoK only give one CP?

#

it's not sub, where shuriken storm gives CP = # targets, right?

rotund oak
#

one CP + Crit

sly yoke
#

yeah 1 base plus one for each target it crits on

#

so the floor is always 1

strong rune
#

roger.

rotund oak
#

But that line shouldn't say anything about Fok, either it's ST in which case you just garrote 2 times, or on MT cycle garrote

naive birch
#

in st why do you garrote 2 times?

rotund oak
#

to get a longer enhanced Garrote with pandemic

mellow elbow
#

Pandemic

naive birch
#

but if it's a vanish, isn't garotte already running. couldn't you just pandemic the existing one?

#

and not have to spend 35 energy for those extra 5 seconds or whatever

sly yoke
#

yeah

#

it would just be in the opener

naive birch
#

opener i garotte-> mut -> garotte

#

rupture

rotund oak
#

hm yeah obviously, didn't think of that

naive birch
#

and i always want to spell garrote with 2 t's for some reason

sly yoke
#

same

#

#

@naive birch How did you get the sequence to work? "actions=sequence=garrote:mutilate:garrote" doesn't work

reef canyon
#

@odd sedge Hey pinging you again. Looks like you might have some things I can explain about AMR's simulations?

naive birch
#

i don't have it up anymore. i think it's a colon after sequence though

maiden cargo
#

Hey Zoopercat

reef canyon
#

Hey iso!

maiden cargo
#

I just posted you a few questions on the forum about the simulator, same thread as the Wunju comment ^^

reef canyon
#

he posted in a couple threads, let me try to find the right one. One sec!

maiden cargo
#

Nighthold trinkets, page 11

reef canyon
#

Hopefully he has time to chat so I can clear some things up πŸ˜ƒ

#

found it!

maiden cargo
#

Well the long and short of it is, I have been getting "no solution to the regression could be found" when trying to simulate myself for a gearing strategy, I think I may have broken it :p

reef canyon
#

ok, first - when you setup the simulation, do you have 'live' selected as the version?

reef canyon
#

I can try to run it here - using your most up to date armory? And did you want ursoc or mythic+?

maiden cargo
#

I have always just used ursoc I guess

reef canyon
#

Did you change any of the numeric values in the 'more options'? Like number of stat points or anything?

maiden cargo
#

Honestly I sim myself every time I get new loot with simcraft and I update the pawn values and that's great and everything, but to actually filter loot and see what's good for me I use the robot, it would be great if the numbers both things used were the same

reef canyon
#

a couple of things to note:

#
  1. you can use simc weights. To do that, on the gear page click the green 'view/edit' button above the stat priority list.
maiden cargo
#

So I can just enter into "use stat weights" the things from simcraft and it will work just fine?

reef canyon
#
  1. AMR does stat weights differently than SimC, for a tradeoff in speed. TLDR: AMR looks at 1000s of data points (simC looks at 2). AMR looks at stat interactions (simC's scaling function does not, however, the reforge plots DO, so check those out). AMR sims every item with a proc when you run stat weights - since those items don't rank well (or at all) with stat weights, this information is actually quite importat to have when looking at ranked gear lists.
inland flicker
#

@naive birch isn't the double garrote off the start a waste of energy? It'll be empowered still after your vanish and to get max empowered up time with least energy spent / combos wasted... i would suggest opening Garrote-mut-rupture-kingsbane-mut-envenom-mut-envenom until oom, vendetta and pop the vanish and another garrote right around 5 seconds left to maximize empowered garrote

reef canyon
#

So regarding using simc weights, if you want to do that, first run a custom gearing strat on AMR (or I can give you this one when it finishes). THEN use that report and adjust it to simc weights. That way, you'll have the trinket ranking info as well. Make sense?

maiden cargo
#

That would be fantastic

#

Do you have any idea why it was telling me it had no solution to the regression?

reef canyon
#

nope, only one more quesiton that I can think of - show me a screenshot of the gearing strat options (just above the more options section)

maiden cargo
#

should be able to see it in the first screenshot above

#

I had messed with the min and max ilvls, so maybe this

#

is 850-900 bad?

reef canyon
#

hmm ok those settings look fine. Try setting it to 870 - 920

#

otherwise, i'll send this over to our dev.

#

Does it work for any other characters?

maiden cargo
#

I'm not sure, it takes about 45mins on my system to finish but I can sure try it with my hunter, it's been fine in the past, just stopped working after I fiddled with some stuff I guess, mostly the ilvl stuff

naive birch
#

@inland flicker so garrote -> mut -> garotte = approx 25 or 26 seconds of empowered garrote out of opener instead of just 18

#

not sure if it's a gain or not.

#

since you waste some energy overwriting a garrote with like 16 seconds left on it

inland flicker
#

Right so what I'm suggesting is you dont use the second garrote until you've vanished

naive birch
#

you would still do that

inland flicker
#

because by the time you vanish, you don't waste as much time

#

but your pandemic gains no extra time doing it your way

naive birch
#

the end result is still 7 or 8 more seconds of empowered garrote at the cost of 35 energy

reef canyon
#

@maiden cargo to do a test run, set the number of data points to 500 (instead of 1000)

naive birch
#

probably a wash eithe rway

rotund oak
#

I'm trying to test this, but i can't get it to garrote 2 times in the opener

maiden cargo
#

How do I change the number of data points?

inland flicker
#

I"m sayin, garote-mut-garote (12 seconds later) vanish-garote means that second garrote is still limited to 24 seconds when you cast it, but your clipping over like a 12 second one rather than a 5 second one when you cast the second garrote

reef canyon
#

In that options section (Above more options), you'll see stat points listed at 1000. Edit that to 500.

#

you could probably go down to 250 and not cause problems (bugs)

naive birch
#

doing it your way the total amount of buffed garrote time is 36 seconds.

#

doing it mine, it's 43 to 44 ish

maiden cargo
#

Ok I started it on my alt rogue ill let you know if it finishes, thank you very much for taking the time to respond to my questions Zoppercat

naive birch
#

depending on how close you cut that extra garrote during the first subterfuge

inland flicker
#

ohh i see what your syaing phup

#

Yeah w/o mantle thats definitely strongest opener

naive birch
#

i don't know. you spend 45 energy to get 3 or 4 more ticks of buffed garrote

#

not sure if it's worth it

#

either way is probably fine

inland flicker
#

I'm assuming mantle where you definitely want to vanish right around 12 seconds in to catch the last 6 seconds of kingsbane

naive birch
#

oh yeah

#

i'm doing it for us plebs with crappy legendaries

#

really, if the 45 energy is worth the extra ticks, seems like you'd let the first garrote go completely before repeating the process on your first vanish

#

50ish seconds of buffed garrote to open

#

but after that just one since you could pandemic an already running weak garrote

rotund oak
#

anyone know if there is a simc command like "exsanguinated" for subterfuge garrote? when i try to customize the APL, it overwrites the subterfuge garrote with a normal one

inland flicker
#

i guess downside to that is by the time your second vanish comes up a lot of time is gonebut

naive birch
#

yeah, you have to hold your first vanish for 20-25 seconds

#

but on a 2 min cooldown, it won't hurt you except at very specific fight lengths

tardy walrus
#

What's the opener with shoulders and DoS

rotund oak
tardy walrus
#

I've tried there

#

You'd find your answer here if you scroll up

You'll also find a modified APL

#

Copy of that post probably would have been more helpful. But thanks. I'll go look for it

maiden cargo
#

The sim on my alt seemed to work just fine

dire rapids
#

How many iterations should I use to get accurate results?

#

well, accurateish

rotund oak
#

use target error, 0.1% for dps and 0.05 for stat weights

reef canyon
#

@maiden cargo I can reset your character settings to see if something is 'stuck' on your account for that character.

bleak sky
#

seems overkill Zyrius

reef canyon
#

but you might lose filter settings and stuff

maiden cargo
#

I'm going to try again with my main just like I did on my alt now and see if that works before I go to that option I think

#

so far it seems fine

#

now I have the sim you made I can sort out the gear atleast

#

One thing I did wonder tho about trinkets, why does the robot dislike convergence of fate so much?

reef canyon
#

I have to ask @manic pulsar for details on that one.

manic pulsar
#

I don't think the robot dislikes convergence... it just isn't amazing unless you have some certain other items, is my understanding, @maiden cargo

bleak sky
#

It's basically always amazing

#

So if robot puts it low it's not simming it right

#

or you aren't running MA relics perhaps

#

Yeah. AMR puts it WAY too low

#

just from gear optimizer perspective

inland flicker
#

yeah when you actually sim it it provides accurate-ish results for what the convergence actaully does

#

i'd guess gear optimizer doesn't assume you have boots/ma relics etc

#

but the gear optimizer menu (which admittedly zooper has said before is not meant to be terribly accurate) definitely mishandles it

delicate dagger
#

any idea how up to date is the simc profile for sub ?

reef canyon
#

@odd sedge hitting you up again - seems like on mmo-c you haven't seen my guide on how to run a custom gearing strat. Of course, if you don't get a custom one, you won't get custom weights. When you have time, I can walk you through that, or run it for you on your character.

#

@bleak sky Were you looking at a trinket list after running a custom gear strat? If not, I can run that for you and we can see how COF ranks then. And debug from there if it still doesn't look right. Just need your character name and realm.

#

@inland flicker Hmm, I don't think I said the gear optimizer isn't accurate πŸ˜‰ You just need custom gear strategy that is tailored to you (that's maybe what you meant). Once you run a custom gearing strat, all trinkets, relics and items with procs are ranked from those simulations. If you don't have a setup custom to your character, it will be based on defaults (which is meant as a place to start for casuals).

If I want to use a SimC nightly build, jsut DL and extract the 7z file at the top of the list? Didn't know if I needed that plus a setup EXE from that list as well

round canyon
#

you just need the 7z file

#

extract it somewhere and run the simulationcraft.exe that you can find inside the folder

Awesome, thanks! You've been super helpful lately

Also, is there a way in SimC to change the potion you would use, so I could see the difference?

round canyon
#

there is a line for it if you import from the armory

granite gust
#

Is there a way to see what was casted when in simcraft ? Curios to see the mantle opener with subterfuge. Saying its a 2k dps loss to run sub over NS

whats that command again

cinder iron
#

where in simc can i change my relics to sim other relics?

torpid skiff

!simulation

round canyon
#

commands dont work in the simulation channel. the command your looking for is !aethys or !simc most likely

inland flicker
#

@Sneekyone#0008 simC doesn't seem to have a mantle or subterfuge Opener built in yet. If you scroll up in this channel about 5 hours there are a few links to alternative APL's to force it to use mantle/sub Opener, as well as a few suggestions on how to open with it. It's a #WIP still from the author though so it's not perfect.

@granite gust scroll down to "Action Priority List" in your results tab, then expand "Sample Sequence Table"

Okay thanks heaps both of yous πŸ˜ƒ

apl changes for opener are pinned (keep in mind those are situational and dont fit every gear/relic/trinket setup)

@night tinsel i found another error in simulationcraft and your the only theorycrafter online

#

it appears that cinidaria is not being applied by bladeflurry even though it applies in game

night tinsel
round canyon
#

good to know

rotund oak
#

@night tinsel is that just for bugs, or APL optimization too?

night tinsel
#

Both, although with apl optimisation I think aethys would prefer that you've at least tested it to be a dps increase yourself with a default profile rather than just suggesting random ideas you think might be good

split sorrel
#

If you open an issue about the APL, ideally I would like to have the line you want to change with modifications. Testing it on a bunch of profiles isn't an issue.

rotund oak
#

How do i set the APL to only use an item if it's equipped, if=equipped.draught_of_souls and if=equipped.140808 don't work

merry cloud
#

You don't have to. Write line that uses draught and it will just give you a warning if there is not such item

rotund oak
#

Yeah, but i don't want the warning to show up :D

#

If my line gets into basic simc, everyone that doesn't have DoS gets this warning

merry cloud
#

Your line into basic simc? You have to change C code for that πŸ˜ƒ

rotund oak
#

not me, but i would submit that line to github and let someone else to it :D

merry cloud
#

Simc won't generate line to use item if there is nothing to use

rotund oak
#

So i dont have to worry about the warning and just submit my line?

merry cloud
#

Yes
