i have shoulders so i have to use the one in the pinned post
unless the opener is being correctly moddled in simcraft now
why am i simming better with 3 vendetta than 2 vendetta and 1 gushing wound? :/
no boots but CoF
same ilvl?
gushing is actually +5
@split sorrel what sub changes o.o
hey guys what rotation do u use on assa with legendary shoulders?
Where and how do you put the "use_item" in simc for DoS?
is there a special apl for just dos?
anyone have the Leg Boots simcraft id so i can sim my character with them?
@maiden cargo APL improvements
@split sorrel ah thanks i was kinda hyped for hotfixes aka buffs xD
lol
@split sorrel have the nightly been updated for sub? And is your add on updated for DS?
Profile Agi AP Crit Haste Mastery Vers Wdps WOHdps wowhead
Deadrackspam-ap 11.57 10.94 5.94 3.04 7.42 5.66 6.06 3.17 wowhead
Deadrackspam-vigor 11.78 11.18 6.00 3.71 7.30 5.63 5.07 2.60 wowhead
is it weird that haste sims higher with vigor?
This is the version i'm using. i don't know how to get build number with github
On branch legion-dev
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/legion-dev'.
Seems logic, less overcap energy/more regen with vigor so haste sims higher no ?
where do you fit DoS into opener with Mantle?
Why does simcraft use shadow dance prepull with shoulder legendaries?
Im trying it ingame and it just pulls you out of stealth without extending anything
Oh I see now
Tysm ๐
I was trying to do it with a sprint in the beginning and clipping the vanish buff
no need to
Aethys does the default APL in simc work if I got only got KJWB?
could someone please suggest changes to APL to get max garrote usage under subterfuge in multi-target fight
hey, i recently got the legendary shoulders i and simcrafted my assa rogue with those. i took subterfurge and noticed in the sample sequence table that simcrafts opener is complete horseshit. the very first action in combat is using vanish and then starting the opener. anyone with the same problem and know how to fix it?
yes, the apl is highly outdated
here's a better one
Synep's Mantle APL (No DoS): http://pastebin.com/DNrMBeiJ
theres also weaks pin
thanks alot! ๐
Not able to sim and just got my 4 set for sin, bout 15 lols lower should I just stay with the 2 pic?
My mastery drops from 140 to 127 if I do the 4 pc
A minor issue, but when I queue up multiple sims, all the results tabs that were in the queue will all be named the same as the last simulate tab put in the queue. Can this be fixed somehow?
@finite lodge It still has the right info IN the tab though. Race / class / spec etc ... Just the name is off.
Yeah, I know that, but I'd rather not have to sift through the equipment to see which tab is which
@finite lodge go ahead and open an issue for it on simc's github page, so they are aware of the problem--afterall, it may be minor to you but not so minor to someone else ๐
@tribal scroll weaks' APL doesn't even 'fan of knives' for multi-target and Synep's mantle never calls vanish nor vendetta with my gear--am i missing something?
weaks apl is for st only i believe
@torn dome could use some confirmation
also these lines should cover vend and vanish

i've got subterfuge enable and have no idea what item 144236 is; also have !exsanguinate, but vigor, and artifact.urge_to_kill---still no joy on vanish nor vendetta, regardless of 715-01 or 715-02 simc
i'll try stripping out the 'equipped' piece
still no vanish nor vendetta--i'll try stripping out the debuff.vendetta.up piece
now have vanishes and supposedly a vendetta, though i can't find it it the action list--still even with vanish, garrote usage is no where near maxed on separate targets
Ye that apl was only to see diff between ns and sub a month back
Aethys apl is out soontm but I do have a proper apl of my own working rn
SoonTM ๐
Well tbh, it would have been out since weeks if only people would have a constructive discussion with me about it.
Or just a constructive discussion about it, not necessarily with me. If we put our efforts together it's quickly done.
I guess a place where everything is put together would be something good. Something that will likely happen for the 7.2 then.
Wanna discuss now that Im actually back playing the game again aswell ๐
i'm open for a discussion, constructive preferred ๐
It's not as easy as you may think to maintain a module for 3 specs (along with all the bugs, I mean Blizzard Features) + finding the proper APL for each possible "combination" (like specifics effect that change the rotation, completely or just a part) + doing side projects (simc tools, addons, ..) ^^
I'm not paid for this, so I do it when I want to / have time to
And yes, Subtlety is ahead (in terms of "implementation of things") because i play it several hours a day. Althought, I try to play more Assa (my alt is Assassination only and sometimes I play it on my main).
Yes I know. And I also know it does take some time to fiddle with apl. But if you want my opinion/help on it just hmu anytime
I did tweak the one linked over simcminmax a bit myself
If there were a place where all the APL discussion was united, I would just have to help for some parts.
Atm it's even more harder because there are some APLs here and here, so I have to deconstruct them to reconstruct one.
@torn dome the one fiery sent ?
might i suggest--merely, suggest--an actions.openers section?
no
good to know
well, I'm fairly against openers sub action list because most of the time it doesn't work well
@split sorrel I did have a constructive conversation about it with you and wEak, but I didn't check the syntax for SimC API TBH, but I can type pseudocode if you want or even start with Simc API and fetch the code etc. On the other hand you told me that you are working on it like 3 weeks ago ๐ and sims are the same.
Im not sure, I just remember seeing it over at simcminmax 2 weeks ago I wanna say
and there are probably more I didn't have opened in my tabs today
Am not sure about the APL syntax, I need to check the classes and stuff I mean the main API so I can easy generate any APL.
I can add one more thing. on this thread https://github.com/simulationcraft/simc/issues/3582 Thernn explains in details why Garrot has advantage over Evn on opner, and he did a good way explainig it, which contradict with my way in the opner which is delay garrot by 1 sec at opner and use one Env over garrot.
But in his formula he didn't add the mastery dmg increase in Env.
As well as ingnoring PB procs and 4 set dmg.
It's something that SimC does, there is no need for napkin math for this, once set it takes 2seconds to test it
Although, my issue with most things people post is they base their thoughts on one log
or maybe two
Well subter garrote cast damage > envenom
one top rank doesn't mean it's the best way to do
often there are good practice, but it doesn't mean it's perfect
Ye, but for example my first garrote deals over 3M damage
@torn dome we will see ๐
It is way more than envenom
gear need to be taken in account, fight setup, raid comp, rng, etc...
If you renew the garrot after vanish u already overlap with 3 sec at least... but we will see anyways.
My first apl draft was over a month ago, when I had to go for a break
3.16M damage from first garrote
Second garrote 2.8M
I will go for quick smoke and back to discuss this.
damn, weak, this is ST? could you please find a 3+ target situation for me?
There are no 3 target situations in a raid currently
3 targets that would live long enough for your cleave to mean something
ok. was gonna say 'not even on trash' but you just explained that
Ye trash dps is just trash dps
well, as someone who 'sucks at raiding' trash dps is where i can pick up some dps
which is why i want to actually cycle targets with garrote
@torn dome So you w8 4 sec out of the 100% crit and the ring wont last for the last 2 ticks of KB which is the higest 2 ticks and losing like 2 ticks of KB out crit buff "but they are the lowest anyways", and I see you waited for 4 sec just to get the max garrot duration. On other hand you can cast 1 more Env and gain 99% ticks of KB in crit buff.
And please always put in consideration that Env has a PB proc which it has significant dps increase in opner and overall dps anyways.
pb is rppm so its meaningless
You are not using DOS right?
And if you have DOS when to use it, which is really important to use it on the right time.
after my 5cp env in mantle
waiting with baited breath
But delaying the trinket like that, you are losing alot of AP procs at start wich will increase the KB dmg alot. and might lose 1 use of the trinket per fight. Anyways sims will show all.
I have to go now will be back after 30 min.
let's just be clear, ring=?
T20 APL gonna be fun
with the new CDR trait on KB
depending on if u play AP or not
depending on ur Env casts
#wtbEasyAPL
hold on, stealth from 1.029 to 16.927--how is that happening with assassination spec?
mantle with subterfuge are 8 seconds, vanish x2
mantle buff is 9 secounds not 8 with subterfuge
I use Subterfuge but (maybe I'm being retarded :D) the buff still only lasts 6 seconds
after breaking
with vanish only
ah
eh ya, mantle is 6 seconds, not 5 right ^^
Is there any benefit to staying in stealth for any length of time to take advantage of the 100% crit on bleeds?
Or is it just more worthwhile to break and get the increased damage rupture up
you need the crit to generate a fuckton of cp and spam envenom so no point in staying in stealth
Does anyone have a working mantle APL that includes the usage of Draught of Souls?
I've been using the KB 2nd GCD opener, and I definitely don't think garrote is worth refreshing in that one
@steep cedar
actions.cds+=/use_item,name=draught_of_souls,if=equipped.140808&(talent.agonizing_poison.enabled&debuff.agonizing_poison.stack=5&debuff.surge_of_toxins.remains>=3|!talent.agonizing_poison.enabled)&energy.deficit>=80&((equipped.144236&buff.master_assassins_initiative.remains>=3|cooldown.vanish.remains>=10)|!equipped.144236)
That's the DoS part anyway
I don't think anyone's published a full optimised APL with vanish usage etc
Where exactly do I add that in the current mantle APL?
nvm found it
Does this only use Draught when we have the crit buff? Because optimal usage is once on pull with crit than when it's up with the next vendetta. and then with the next vanish etc
@split sorrel is the updated sub apl intended for use with a particular leg/talent setup? Siming lower by ~1.5% with the new apl using just the boots plus either DS or anticipation
@steep cedar DoS damage does not scale with vendetta
@wind otter fair enough but still does it use it on cd or does it only wait for vanish? Because the first one will be stupid
@weak quarry interesting, give me ur /simc

@split sorrel
!legendary
will check later ty
I am confused as to why my simulation results always show EP/Exsan build to have more dps, ilvl873 assass
i dont think your mastery is high enough to run the other build at 873
soo i wanted to compare 2 relics
like simming my dps with how it is like now
and then replace it with the other relic manually
but where do i get the ID and what exactly is gem id
is there an guide for that ;/
HALP PLS
okay tenks
im guessing the relic spreadsheet is a little off? Replacing a 885 fatebringer with a 900 Black Powder relic sims as an upgrade, the spreadsheet says this should not be the case
Fatebringer relic with Ring/Bracer/4piece is worth an extra 57.02 ilvls?!
๐ค
im not sure the spreadsheet was updated since 715?
does anyone have the simc bonus id for trained soldier? want to sim something rq but dont want to waste money on enchanting
can some one help me with what im reading on simulation?
im not sure if it showingme what i show be oing or what i have been doing
Can anyone tell me if the latest simcraft build works properly with Draught & Convergence?
@weak quarry Are you around ?
Pretty sure something is wrong on ur end, the APL Update gave you some dps:
But the major thing was around Mantle
@split sorrel that's strange, with the latest nightly I was siming at 698k with the old apl and 687k with the new. I don't think I'm crazy ๐
link ur full profile
I'll PM you in 10-15 mins, not at my computer atm
How do you Sim two different apls?
Shadowcrafts telling me I need haste as sub... im at 11%. How much should I have?
Put 2 actor @lusty hazel
@gleaming needle separate channel for Shadowcraft. Also pretty sure haste is crap for all three specs.
Thanks, thats what I figured
can any one take a look at my gear for me ?
im assassin and currently having some issues with my dps
@velvet heron wrong channel. Let's move up to simple questions and link your armory. I'll try to help a bit. Are you running heroic or mythic night hold?
@split sorrel How does SimC handle Sephuz? does it assume you can proc it on cd?
cuz its crap
@split sorrel So it's just a stat stick when you sim it
basically yes
Anybody else seeing sims that contradict the idea that any item level COF is bis? I'm showing 587kDPS with a 885 digit vs 570k with a 865 COF. That sound right? The digit proc is about 1.9% of my damage, which matches the sim, and the COF only has 300 less agility than the Digit. Didn't know if that was a sim error not valuing vendetta reduction enough
I do not have boots, 2x MA 1x GW relix
Hey guys. I just got introduced to this community from a guildie. I'm playing an assa rogue and a fellow guidie were logging the fights the other night. Out of curiousity i took a look at those logs and i saw that my performance compared to other rogues on those fights were really bad, lol. Talking 30-40% percentile. So i've been looking over guides and simming my gear to figure out if i can do anything different and came to the conclusion that i had no idea where to improve. So i was wondering if there are any kind rogues out there who would take a look at my gear/sim ? ๐ Thanks in advance
Try in #228878985210101760 or #228879234540503040
will do, thanks!
noob question, I just sim my outlaw and get 510k dps as result, but I do 380k max (after 8~10min in dummy)
there's something I missing or outlaw sim its not that accuracy?
there's something that I can "extract" from sim results to improve my dps rotation?
You can give a try to my addon, it re-uses SimC APL
Otherwise, yes it's normal
you probably didn't take in consideration bloodlust, pots, flasks, rune, etc... etc...
also 1 attemp on dummy means nothing
and fight length is prolly different ^^
hey guys, a question regarding simcraft: there is a field saying "dps range". Does it mean the mathematical range between min and max of my dps? or does it mean i have to add/substract it to my average dps? ๐
thx
@split sorrel i don't know if anyone elses add on is doing this but mine no longer tells me to use nightblade. is there a update for it or should i jsut undownload it and redownload it.
Support is done on SimCMinMax Discord @dusk raptor
Link is in the description or on my stream. Let's continue there.
Ok.
Anyone around?
I wanted to know if Nightblooming Frond sims properly yet or not and if you had to choose between Kiljadens burning wish and ring of ravenholdt, which would you choose?
Frond did get buffed back up again. Trinket vs ring depends on m+ trash or not. Most cases I would take the ring
I have a lot of gear right now and i don't know exactly what to use, anybody with knowledge who could give me a hand?
Thanks for the info. I also thought Arcanogolem Digit would synergize well on AoE fights over frond with Ravenholdt, what do you think?
And I meant for Nighthold Bosses
@split sorrel Does your addon support optimized assa rotation with mantle and subterfuge ?
Also how does the multidoting work ? I'm struggling on bota to maintain everything + finding the right moment to use vanish/mantle burst without loosing dots too much.
So i thought your addon could be interesting for that
atm
it just follows the assa apl
which isnt super optimised for the nitty gritty, especially involving mantle
but thats more a discussion for the simcminmax discord, which he has a link to on his addon page
Ok, thank you i will look there !
@vague olive frond got buffed?
Where did you get this information from?
I would take KJ Burning Wish over ring almost every time. People often overlook the stats on KJ. Not to mention, having Insignia leaves you missing out on 1400-1900 mastery you'd normally be getting on that ring slot
Anyone else getting diffrent stat weights then they simm on Simc vs Shadowcraft?
I struggle with some simulations atm and could use some help. I have all 6 pieces and I don't know what to use.. Also my APL tells me to open with garrote > Muti > DoS?
@rain plazacahKJ#9832 Im actually only losing 900, I lose 1300-1350 total if I take off kiljadens as well but the ring slot alone is only 900, since I replace the high crit ring for the legendary's high crit. It does have nice raw stats but
It seems to be better on 3+ targets overall.
Just played around with it yesterday
Even with it replaced though, my mastery sits at 143%, so its not too bad, and I can consider the food buff for that extra .1% on AP
But I do think for ST fights ill replace the ring for kiljadens, NBF is very inconsistent though. if it procs on a trash pull for the boss youre kind of screwed I noticed.
Did a 15 arcway and it did 483.6K on the last boss, procced whenever he was doing P2 and it didnt proc again
@languid thistle rppm effects dont work like that . procs prior to the boss fight have no bearing on procs during the fight. your rppm 'bad luck protection' is reset when the boss is pulled
So it just didnt proc at all
Damn that sucks.
Well of course not at all, just once at the worst time.
is this draught line good to add to the mantle apl?
actions.cds+=/use_item,name=draught_of_souls,if=equipped.140808&(talent.agonizing_poison.enabled&debuff.agonizing_poison.stack=5&debuff.surge_of_toxins.remains>=3|!talent.agonizing_poison.enabled)&energy.deficit>=80&((equipped.144236&buff.master_assassins_initiative.remains>=3|cooldown.vanish.remains>=10)|!equipped.144236)
What is the apl for subterfuge?
I just got a 905+socket Arcanogolem from Trill. i'm currently using 890 frond+socket and 895 converg. Sims higher with the latter. Think the arcanogolem is good for aoe fights?
probably isn't
if you're assassination you very rarely aoe in nighthold, I don't see where you'd use a frontal cleave
I heard it works in mythics though
As a Sub rogue, what should my end goal percent weights be?
end goal ?:D
through raid fights, i've found that 30%Crit, 10-12% haste 10% Ver and dump the rest into mastery is good. am i wrong?
mastery > Versatility > crit > haste
that doesnt tell me anything
not strictly true, sim yourself
i do sim myself
im asking for weights because simc at leaest i dont think advises gems or enchants
it gives you stat weights, you use those to gem /enchant
where at?
It takes a bit longer to run the sim a few mins
Go to scaling or plots tab at the top of simc
I don't have it open in front of me
So I can't guide that well
But there's an option
Go to your results tab
And it will tell you how much each secondary stat is worth
And each point of agility
if you scroll down a little
How often does rogue-relevant stuff get updated in simc nightlies? Would appreciate not having to download the latest nightly every time I wanna sim something.
No one is forcing you to.
It gets updated fairly frequently
!guide
Anyone able to help me with the syntax - trying to force a pool before vanish
figured it out
Hmm, Cinidaria and Insignia sims higher than Zoldyck/Cinidaria or Zoldyck/Insignia... Should that be the case or am I simming something wrong? I thought Zoldyck supposed to be quite a bit better that those other two legendaries...
i sim higher with bracer + insignia than cinidaria + insignia atleast
got nightly build?
I sim higher without legendaries than with
idinged just a few days ago (854 ilvl, 860weps). As outlaw sims tells me that vigor+snd > deepstrat+MfD by aboout 6%, is that really correct?
hi,has anyone played with tempered egg of serpentrix?just got a 900 from weekly,was wondering how often does it proc
Hello, i started to sim my outlaw ... i understand the most thinks but i'm not sure what typ of battle i shall use for raiding NH HC. I mean Beastlord, HecticAddCleave or does everybody use Patchwerk? Dont want to sim fo every bossfight. i want an overall sim for the whole raid.
patchwerk is single target minimal moving for mechanics
use it for a best-estimate type sim
Should be 0 movement on a patchwerk sim. I'd build around maximising your single target DPS though, since that's the big thing rogues bring.
i understand that but why patchwerk? We dont have a patchwerk encounter except krosus a bit. Would it be falsify the stat weights?
it's patchwerk style
the enemy is named "fluffy_pillow" and just doesn't move or hit back
it has scaled health and DR for the correct tier
you obviously aren't simming a one-shot boss like actual patchwerk in 900ilvl gear
it's simc's general name for a pure single target, tank'n'spank type of fight
the Weights for max-ing single target dps will be correct if you sim this way.
What is the difference between Weak mantle APL and Synep mantle APL? What rotation does Synep APL use, im pretty bad at reading the rotation in the sim, so if any1 has an easier to understand picture or writeup that would be nice
you can sim both and look at the sample output
@regal agate Where do I see this? i simmed both and Synep does 8k more dps
in your results, extend the action priority list, scroll down and look at the sample sequence
Where is synep apl? Might get some code ideas from looking at his. Nvm. Found it in pins.
I've got garrote working properly on mantle apl. Gain 11.5k dps over weak's orig apl. Working on rupture now.
are the shoulders being correctly moddled in shadowcraft yet
or do we still have to use the custom apl
@crystal belfry I added in 4p. Forgot mast with env though. That changes things. 4p was the 1.3x mod.
hi everyone. I need some help to understand an assasination rogue log. can someone here advice me on how to improve
Guys how much DPS should I expect to gain taking Subterfuge over Nightstalker with Mantle as assassination?
Both of you ask in general. This channel isn't for that.
gotcha. thx
sorry if ive asked for this before but when i sim this comes up
Sphinctur missing 'use_item' action for item "gnawed_thumb_ring" (slot=finger1)
Sphinctur missing 'use_item' action for item "draught_of_souls" (slot=trinket2)
Disable this warning by adding 'use_item' actions into the action priority list for the actor(s), or add "use_item_verification=0" to your list of options passed to Simulationcraft.
how do i make sure those are correctly being used?
do i just make a line that says use_item gnawed_thumb_ring
You can add, if assassination,
actions.cds+=/use_item,name=draught_of_souls,if=equipped.140808&(talent.agonizing_poison.enabled&debuff.agonizing_poison.stack=5&debuff.surge_of_toxins.remains>=3|!talent.agonizing_poison.enabled)&energy.deficit>=80&((equipped.144236&buff.master_assassins_initiative.remains>=3|cooldown.vanish.remains>=10)|!equipped.144236)
Well first regenerate the apl and it'll automatically add usage for your ring
(and for DoS, but standard APL usage for that isn't really optimal atm)
does anyone here know if nightblooming frond is still broken in sims?
coz i sim like 20k dps higher with my 890 frond than my 905 DoS ๐ฆ (havent got shoulders)
@strong gorge i am using the mantle APL from the pinned topic as the current simcraft doesnt work for mantle correctly. can i just add actions.cds+=/use_item,name=gnawed_thumb_ring,if=equipped.134526
nvm seemed to work, but adding those two lines gave me an additional 70k dps, not sure if it's correct lol
@maiden cargo "Jaxu - 03/05/2017
For the last time since it gets asked every day, frond sims accurately, it is just a rppm trinket that fundamentally has a lot of variance ingame" From pinned messages...
so its actually better than draught unless u have shoulders?
ask in general
isnt it kind of a simulation related topic?
new to simc. do I have to set any options? or is comparing default_current_gear with default_new_gear good enough?

@strong willow thx
can someone please help me when trying to sim DoS? When i sim it says i have an error and I am missing the "use_item" in the apl, where would I put this and what exactly should I type? thanks!
hello guys, im talking about the trinket from botanist,wich is better 870/socket or 875?
i'm pretty sure that there are some bugs with the trait flying knives, otherwise i cant explain these results
ferretti_active has the guarm relic that improve fok
meanwhile "veleni" the gul'dan's one that improve poisons.
my spell do less damage (ex. 874k for envenom in the first case, 873k in the second) and this shouldnt happen
And what would be wrong with this?
how in a single target scenario, where fok isnt even used, 2MA+fok can do more dps than 2MA+ master alchemist?
using AP
Have you actually read the tooltip?
poison knives works even without using fok?
yes
so basically it is a striclty better master alchemist?
and still bad
for me is 800 dps behind a same IL envenom relic
When you have mantle envenom relics strenght is fairly unrivaled
so for now is pretty good ๐ thanks guarm
and ty for the info ๐
I've got a rogue in my guild that looks like he doesn't do a whole lot of dmg compared to other assassination rogues I've seen, but upon simming him on a single target, 350second fight, he only sims for 634k at 899 ilevel
he has the shoulders, CoF and draught, but does not have 4pc
does that sound about right?
4pc is a big damage increase but to sim him you should use the apl pinned here
SimCraft has Arcane Swipe from Arcanogolem Digit doing 14% of my dps.. my actual logs put it at anywhere from 3-9%. is SimCraft reliable at all for trinkets?
@loud zenith are you using a nightly build? it sim 3% for me
Hi, anyone that know what % crit/versa/haste/mas i need? Been checking around but couldnt find anything:/
@north creek there is no magic number, always sim yourself
yeah, you probably dont wanna play sin if you have less than 100% mastery
@finite thunder ah, I was using an older build.. I updated and it is much more accurate. Will be sure to check that next time, thanks!
everyone stack mastery, to have 140%-160% , but thats not a rule
you can have less than that and still do good damage
crit you dont need any specific number
so just sim yourself
does simc automatically apply AP (if specced) in assassin sims?
Yes
alright thanks
If I am running one of the nightly builds from lets say two weeks ago. Then I download a new nightly build. Can I just run the .exe file and it will update to the new one or do i need to remove the old one and it's file folder?
itll prompt you to uninstall the old version when u install a new one
even if it is the same version 715-02 just a new nightly
Iam trying to sim my DoS and this is what happens, can anyone help me out? thanks!
@graceful drift are you using a custom APL?
I think my issue is my simc is out of date, I will tryo updating and i will see if i still have the same issue, thanks!
nevermind it still didnt work, and I am using the defualt apl @rich temple
wait I looked it up via the internet and found how what apl to put in, thanks man! I hope you and everyone here has a great day today!
aha well glad you figured it out
is there a sim chart for all the races?
guys can someone link relic ids for simc?
I want to know if its worth trading a 880 serrated edge for a 865 master assassin
NVM saw the guide teaching how to get the id
It is pinned
Hey guys, any way to sim with different fight lengths in one go? (bar graph thing)
Isn't there an option in simc to change the length of the fight?
Yeah that's what I did then ran it one sim at a time, I was asking if there was a way to input the different fight lengths so the sim would only run once then result in a bar graph like the one they use to compare trinkets
I'm using custom apl for mantle+DoS while simming my rogue and I just got legendary trinket. Can someone help me to modify the apl so it can also use trinket in sims? Right now every sim just ignores second trinket.
With the latest Sub APL, I noticed conditions added for DoS, but when I import from the SimC add-in it doesnt pick it up. Do I need to modify the import to include the item name in the gear list for the script to pick it up properly?
Any simple questions like 'what trinkets do I use ๐ค' and 'what is my stat priority' will be removed from this channel immediately. Keep discussion related to simulations/maths.
stupid probably noob question, how do i use a custom APL?
The easiest way is to import your character, it will generate an APL and then you can edit that one
Cam someone help me find out the proper opener for Subterfuge using Synep APL? I'm new and have hard time decrypting the APL sequence. What is the opener and is there a change in playstyle comparing to nightstalker?
my Simc shows a nice increase in dps with Synep's APL
@patent vector you can look at the sample sequence under action priority list in the report
well.. looks like i'm wondering something else about Outlaw spec this time. If you have Mantle Of The Master Assassin, I read that you have to RTB until 3 buffs... i have a hard time understanding this. I tested on a dummy, and it happens that i can sometimes stay for 30 seconds without 3 buffs as a huge majority of RTB are single or 2 buffs. I really can't understand how this can be a DPS gain... Especially on the opening sequence if you have to roll 10 times in a row to hope for proper buffs.
3 buffs seems like an eternity to wait.. especially if you're unlucky, and even when u are..
is there any apl that uses draught with shoulders correctly?
Has anyone tried out SnD instead of RtB?
"design". That just looks like some random dev troll to make people like me go to forums and complain.
It is what I do since months, but they doesn't want to make TB baseline nor fix how good it is. So just do as everyone else, play Assa (or Sub).
all right
They like how RtB is and they dont want to change it they believe its a core mechanic of the spec that gives it its individuality and people like it for that
Yeah, I've been active (with others) on NA forums, the only blue response we've had just defended the current design, made no mention of altering True Bearing, or changing next gold trait into something worthwhile.
which is absolute trash
This particular development cycle has convinced me that the class development team must be significantly smaller than the game deserves
outlaw is "okay in the average case"
That's the issue with sims, though. Of course things will even out over 100,000 sims.
the only issue is that it has retarded APM and any downtime is 0 DPS unlike sin, and you're always overcapping on energy and hardly have time to react
That doesn't mean it feels good or fun for the first 5,000 pulls
the fact that their first iteration of CotDB was +50% energy regen shows how clueless they are
for 7.2
See, the lack of downtime is one of the reasons I'd play outlaw (and old combat) - I prefer that, feels weird to sit on my hands. But the surges between outlaw feeling "good" and feeling bad (which in my experience is more than half the time, anecdotally) are too much to bear when i'm more or less carrying my F&F guild's dps
That's also a flaw of simc, it never fails a gcd like we do. (You probably experienced that if you use my addon)
Even if there is reaction time, blocked condition before a gcd is up, and everything that you can read here and here (and that for some part is on simc), playing it perfectly is very hard.
^ What Aethys said
People laugh at the simplicity of outlaw's rotation but it's actually the most difficult spec to play optimally
Probably the fastest paced spec I ever had played, every game mixed.
Also you can see there is counter-instinctive things in the APL
like SS at 5cp (out of 6)
@mighty pawn By downtime I didn't mean high APM, I meant that when you have to leave the boss for mechanics, assassination loses minimal dps, outlaw loses 100% dps
Yes it's the biggest flaw of Outlaw in raids, disconnects.
Oh, right. My bad, yeah, obviously I'd agree with that statement
Take krosus as an example, if you dump all energy to do the bridge smash, by the time he comes back you've lost almost 0 dps
with outlaw you've lost 100% dps for that whole duration
the duration after energy caps which is usually very fast for outlaw
I think that's the biggest problem with outlaw, you have nearly no control over when things are good. So if they're good during a lost-dps phase, you're boned, and you'll slip out of the P O S I T I V E F E E D B A C K L O O P
just, if you can continue this elsewhere, talking about the rotation itself (APL stuff) is fine, but the overall gameplay belong to #228878985210101760 ๐

Mark Of the Hidden Satyr sims 2k dps more than Mark of the trained soldier. is this normal?
Why it wouldn't ?
well.. 600 mastery is passive stat. But the satyr might not proc enough to make equal damage?
IIRC it scales with stats
that's why the proc is good
it's something they changed in 7.1.5
ooooooh didn't know my bad. well im gonna make the change then
I don't have the exact data in my head
but Navv did it on patch release
and the model behind should be accurate
can anyone tell me which channel I should be asking about a missing item from shadowcraft?
How would you go about simming without addons
by downloading the simcraft program
and selecting armory import
it even generates the apl for you to tweak
as well as specific gear ids
Guess I should have specified, is there a browser based sim you can use without downloads?
nope
well
there is amr
but to be honest i know nothing about the specifics
i definitely prefer simc
Pleasant
Is there anything I can do that's phone based? My pc is outta commission for about a month and wanted to at least do something
oh definitely not
Fun
you can use that website that sims for you cant you
how long should we put the fight to be? 300?
Gonna have to specify there ryler
Probably meant raidbots.com
I suppose the Sub APL in the latest nightly builds is always the one the theorycrafters you can find around here (i.e. @split sorrel) have come up with?
Or are there more optimized APLs to be found somwhere?
sub apl is well optimized
however if you found improvements feel free to share and contribute
kk, tyvm
@maiden cargo why are u asking ?
Just to be sure.
@maiden cargo Do you need it for something ? May I help ?
there might be some tricky thing inside
mostly about sprint stuff
hmhm, I'm just working through the APL github wiki page and looking over the sub one
if i have questions i'll gladly ask here ๐
I don't understand what u're working on ๐
my sim is using versa food, how can i change this?
and is not showing pawn stats, need to enable anything?
The sims here http://simc.aethys.eu/?C=M;O=D show different rankings for ST legendaries than the !legends link - is this just taking sim vs. reality into consideration or is one outdated?
I'm guessing the linked rankings are more accurate for the specific scenarios they are run for and the legendary listing from the bot link is more of a general guide?
It's probably highly outdated sorry
I didn't spend much time on that lately
and my "v2" isn't done
@split sorrel can you help me changing the food buff? simc gives versa as standard :\
Ty @split sorrel . Last question - is frond oversimming in the latest SC release?
changes the APL @maiden cargo
no @dense night
except if there were a hotfix recently
APL? im a noob ๐
Ty!
With the latest realease, if i Exchange my 3 MA relics With 2 and try to sim will it still do KB + vendetta at the same time?
and will the results be correct
I want to know if its an Upgrade b4 i change
got a 870 MA relics i wanna Exchange With a 900 TB
Someone gave me this few hours ago https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vmVwWWnNhrbzi0S_qK6emjFquyUexbTmOEov7vkRjjg/edit#gid=1982425597
Does anyone know when this will be updated for shoulders combo o: ?
Simple By Gray_Hound, Bosses, Latest Update, 1/ 13/ 17,- 7. 1. 5 ilvl Value, Sub Traits, DPS gain from the trait, NH, EN/ ToV+ World, M+, Fel 0, Catlike, 0, Krosus, Shadow 0, Ghost Armor, 0, BRH- 1st, Blood 5. 06, Quiet Knife, 0. 21%,( BS), Chrono Anomaly, Nelth- 2nd, VoW- 1st, Kara- Nightb...
cuz this is gud ๐
Just used the raidbots.com item compare and its telling me that frond is 50k better for sub than dos. Used nightly. That seems like too much difference right?
875 fori or 890 angerboda w/socket?
just got it
hey guys i just simmed myself and got my new stat weights, how do i gem and enchant now
do rogues have static enchants and gems or do i do it based on my sims?
Mastery gems/enchants will be the best
im outlaw btw
so always gem and enchant vers, dont worry about sims?
( Pawn: v1: "Ainslohc": Agility=18.45, HasteRating=7.95, MasteryRating=8.47, Versatility=13.35, CritRating=14.08 )
my current pawn string
what is your crit at?
The weights are pretty close but I prefer more than crit for outlaw
29.07%
what legendaries do you have?
i got them off star augur on monday, still learning how to use them hahah
nice dude
just a normal run
nice, congrats!
PogChamp
also got convergence that night
Sorry if this has already been asked but when I manually change my profile to have DoS in SimC, I don't see DoS in the APL
I was wondering if SimC is in fact using DoS and I don't see it or if the decreased dps is due to SimC not using it
look at the damage breakdown? weird question
@barren halo if you import your character and then change to an on use trinket manually, just delete the APL lines and it will use what is appropriate when you sim it
Whats a good way for a of setting for outlaw if you only use it in mythic + / cleave fights?
@odd sedge You're right, it didn't occur to me to look at the breakdown
no
is there a good place? If not would appreciate if anyone wouldn't mind PMing me for heroic NH critique
thanks! sorry
general
thanks
Hey, I was trying to figure out what second legendary I should equip. I have shoulders (which are obviously a no-brainer), insignia and the belt. According to simcraft the belt is better (assuming a patchwork fight ofc). And I thought this makes sense, due to the opener being stronger, but some days ago I read that the belt is not simming correctly or rather that simcraft is overvaluing the belt. I would love to get some insight/input from you. ๐
Well, this is a question more suitable in simple questions or general.
But first you need to define for yourself, what is "better". What is your goal? Do you want to look good on meters? Do you want to make the first 10% of a fight easier, or the whole fight easier but the first 10% not as much? Will the insignia hit other mobs and does it hitting these mobs help you? Is it progress, what is your raid struggling with?
There's a lot of things that goes into deciding on what talents and what items to use other than looking at pure dps numbers. It depends on what your goal is. Very often the thing that helps you kill a new boss in less attempts is different from what would make you do overall more dps. The most obvious example is lowering your overall dps because you're saving CD's for an important add or phase.
okay, thank you for your answer? moving the question to general/simple questions next time. I wanted to know more about the way simcraft is simming the belt, because it was mentioned some days ago, that it is overvaluing cinidaria. I am not talking about progression, because as you mentioned more dps != more succes on a boss. "Better" in the case of a simulation/patchwork fight is already defined by doing more dps and that was all I wanted to know.
I have not seen that cinidaria should be badly implemented in the current builds. Didn't find any FIXME either. If you find anything concrete that's wrong with it, feel free to write it here.
However, it might (?) cause some issues with target duration. You can always use these resources to fix monster health to be equal in each setup you sim. Currently simcraft estimates a monster health based on how long it would take you to kill it.
Mechanic-wise, it is correct.
But, considering how enemy health changes it's not always realistic
Because of parameters like Lust, raid comp, etc...
If you raid got 10 SP or 10 DH, the 90% portion won't last the same (yeah I took extreme but you get my point)
So it's not possible to give a "perfect value"
Although, it depends on what kind of encounter
Some like Elisande have multiple portion of 90%, others got adds where it's good, and then others like Etraeus got a 90+% useless portion
(damage on "first stage" of Etraeus aren't really usefull)
Hope it's more clear for you @sleek moss ๐
And I verified Cinidaria implementation with Navv some weeks ago, it procs 30% on everything (and doesn't double dip with anything, although it considers well dmg modifier unlike insignia) except neck enchants and pets (like akaari, dunno about "real pet" like bm has)
Ye that did clear it up. Thanks to both of you for Taking your Time and answering ๐
does the belt not scale with ghostly strike?
what is "AFAIK"?
as far as I know
oooo. got it. thanks @split sorrel and @zinc pecan
hey guys i have a stats question im assasin and im at 30% crit and 160% mastery 10% haste and 5% vers i have some peices i can swap to take from mastery a bit for more crit should i do that i feel like i might be over doing the mastery at this point
have you tried simming it?
@slixx if you have a handful of gear and want to find the best combination, I would recommend the simpermut addon. It will generate a simc profile with combinations of gear you select (they have to be in your bags). However, selecting more then 5 or so extra pieces will take awhile to sim, so don't just throw everything into it
Assuming 150% mastery and 25% crit.
7.1.5.
Garrote would give us an estimated 2886% AP over it's duration if applied during the subterfuge period. (((90%AP)x4)x2.25)x2) which is equal to 1620% AP (est 4 ticks with 100% crit) + ((90%AP)x5)x2.25)x1.25) which is equal to 1266% AP
Pandemic can give us potentially two extra ticks worth 253% AP each or an extra 506% AP total.
This gives us a maximum possible grand total of 3392% AP. However, it is a PITA to get a pandemic garrote with mantle outside of the opener.
A mantled envenom would give
((60%AP)x5)x1.3)x2.5)x1.1)x2) = 2145% AP @ 5CP
((60%AP)x4)x1.3)x2.5)x1.1)x2) = 1716% AP @ 4CP
A nightstalker rupture would give (150%)x12)x1.5)x1.1) = 2970 % AP without pandemic.
With pandemic we get up to 3 extra ticks. This would give us (150%)x15)x1.5)x1.1) assuming no criticals = 3713 %AP
With mantle and a 25% crit chance we would get 4 guaranteed critical ticks, ~3 expected non-mantle critical ticks and ~8 normal ticks. This would give us (150%)x4)x1.5)x1.1)x2) + (150%)x11)x1.5)x1.1)x1.25) = 1980+ 3403 = 5383% AP
Conclusion. A nightstalker rupture will outdamage a subterfuge garrote, however, the extra three seconds of 100% crit make up for the lower damage output. Garrote is superior to a mantle Envenom.
With 7.2
Garrote would give us an estimated 2734% AP over its duration if applied during the subterfuge period. (((90%AP)x3)x2.25)x2) which is equal to 1215% AP (est 3 ticks with 100% crit) + ((90%AP)x6)x2.25)x1.25) which is equal to 1519% AP.
Assuming Garrote only ticks twice instead of thrice during mantle period we get 2582% AP total.
Pandemic can give us potentially two extra ticks worth 253% AP each or an extra 506% AP total. This gives us a grand total of 3240 or 3088% AP. As I said above, however, it is a PITA to get a pandemic garrote with mantle outside of the opener.
Nightstalker is by far the superior talent choice as a Nightstalker Rupture will out damage a Subterfuge garrote at the base level.
The addition of the new Garrote traits and T20 bonuses, however, will greatly change things.
Using the same assumptions as above. Assuming 4/4 Rupture and 4/4 Garrote.
4/4 ranks in the garrote trait will give us a 1.16x modifier. Using our base values found above for 7.2 we get 3171% AP with three mantle ticks or 2995% AP with 2 mantle ticks.
A max pandemic garrote would give us 3758 or 3582% AP depending on mantle ticks.
4/4 ranks in the rupture trait would give us (150%)x3)x1.5)x1.13)x2) + (150%)x12)x1.5)x1.13)x1.25) = 1525.5 + 3813.75 = 5339.25% AP
T20 4p gives us a 1.6x modifier. Assuming a max pandemic garrote which is very easy with 2p. Using our base values found above, a subterfuge Garrote gives a total of 5184 or 4941% AP depending on mantle ticks. The addition of 4/4 ranks in the garrote trait on top of that gives a total of 6013 or 5731% AP.
Conclusion: With the loss in 7.2 of the 3 seconds of additional 100% crit from Subterfuge, Nightstalker is the superior talent choice with 4/4 garrote and 4/4 rupture taken into consideration. However, with 4P t20 and at least three ranks (1 if we get 3 garrote mantle ticks) in the garrote trait Subterfuge is the superior choice. [Nightstalker (5339% AP) and Subterfuge (5336% AP) are equal with 2/4 ranks in garrote if garrote will only tick twice during mantle period]
whats best opener with shoulders and draught?
does anyone know if simc apl uses prolonged at 30% if u have sin bracers and choose prolonged instead of old war?
@bleak sky that's assuming you're not using bracers and boots as bis instead of mantle in 7.2 cause you would use 2x t19 and 4xt20, one slot would take up shoulders
I think it's fairly obvious a mantle nerf to sub and sin cause it's retarded for them
And not hitting outlaw
Outlaw possibly getting more value from mantle ๐ค
not more value, value just do not decrease
since there is no subterfuge
and the value was coming from vanish cdr
I meant comparatively, not like more value for outlaw
but outlaw is still getting 3.5% aura buff, iirc
(I meant not an increase, but outlaw would gain more damage from it as a percentage of dps contribution to total dps, due to crit buff)
if that makes sense
I think this will bring outlaw closer in line with the other two specs especially since we don't care about t19 we can keep using mantle
In 7.2
But still also bad long term cause outlaws reliance on mantle/wrists to carry dps xd
if im trying to sim boots against another pair of boots to see which is better for trash given my current gear, what setting should I use? i assume not patchwerk
you mean rely on True Bearing ๐
it's implemented
what was nerfed about it?
subterfuge
does anyone have a draught apl? w/o shoulder\
Hi, does anyone have any numbers on the value of soul shadows(sub) in conjunction with the legendary bracers?
in comparison to w/o bracers?
Do I have to change anything for mantle simming, or does simc just auto adjust the opener if i have it equipped? Also post 7.2 do you still use subterfuge with it or is there no point after the fix?
someone tried to simulate switching to DP every few seconds to apply it and then reapply agonizing poison in a ST scenario?
or even in an aoe situation like tichondrius bat phase
They overwrite each other
<- retard
you still can switch and use it on bat phase to pad or if you want to help out in aoe dmg like on spellblade with the adds
just switch back to ap after
If my dps is 700k and my dps range is 100k, does that mean my dps is
- between 600k and 800k or 2. is it between 650k and 750k?
Nope, i'm just unsure if it's mathematical correct implemented. I play outlaw and my simdps is 756 (lorokhan https://www.wowprogress.com/simdps/eu/connected-arthas/class.rogue) with a range of close to 280k.
Mathematically this means my dps should be between 620k and 900k dps. But in reality it's more like 500k and 1 million dps, which would fit the (mathematically wrong) option in +/- the full value stated under range.
It doesn't work like this.
Yeah I thought so, that's why I asked ๐
If it's still the wrong channel I'm sorry
and i'm aware that my median dps doesnt have to be right in the middle of the range.
oh wow, i new feel kinda dumb, if i mouse over there is an explanation. Ok its standard deviation ๐
yes you can also see the spread a bit lower
well, right word in english is distribution I guess ๐
there are a lot of debate between median & mean
but just remember that with a high enough amount of iterations, they can be the same
due to CLT. If you're on SimCMinMax discord, there were a discussion about it some days (weeks ?) ago
also remember other factors which define the "context" of a simulation
i.e. fight length, activity, ...
i should take a look at SimCMinMax discord for further questions, thank you very much Aethys for answering ๐
@split sorrel was there a nerf to mantle?
read #tc-updates
tys!
hi, how accurate is simcraft for sub with mantle of the master assassin ?`
really accurate ๐
simc uses the most recent one ๐
alright thanks
what is the SimCMinMax discord?
does latest nightly build contain ptr nerf for subterfurge synergy or is that yet to be implemented?
it is
What spec?
Any word on if we should go straight for Sinister Circulation (kingsbane cd trait) or 4/4 our better old traits (MA, GW, Rup crit, Envenom)?
I would probably go MA, Gw, envenom dmg, 10%dmg first
since you cant really farm alot of ap until you get higher AK
true, but what if the kb trait is REALLY good
by going 4/4's first youd be fucking yourself out of getting it for a pretty long time
wew ๐ฐ
if you beeline straight to the kingsbane cdr its 68 mill ap so as much as we earnt for our weapon already
the calculators have been updated now, you can't go straight for kingsbane
the new ones dont unlock until you get all the other points in
thats for concordance not the others at least in the calc im using
Hey guys, does simming not account for subterfuge? it's showing a 100k dps loss between simming that and nightstalker, i have mantle, assa spec
@tepid pulsar Can you link me to one of the updated calculators, I can't seem to find one.
does outlaw sims on simc assume 6 buffs all the time?
No
it just looks like my sims jumpoed 120k and i dont know why
it's all those nuts you're eating
lol
is there any sheet that says how much of a dps increase 4pc is vs 2pc for outlaw?
they were both around 3.5% IIRC
gracias
i hate my legendaries, but it looks like i have to wear both and lose 4pc due to pure stat gain from the legendary
will of valeera and cindaria
inb4 sephuz's secret as your third
will of valeera are so bad, not just because of the effect but because they're so heavy on +haste rather than a meaningful stat
but you still have tier cape, shoulders, chest, head, and gloves to make a 4 set from
with 7.2 around the corner I thought I'd try some ptr=1 simming to see what new artifact trait effects there are on dps. First thing I notice is a 35k dps loss, then looking at the data realized that there's no poison bomb damage being modelled at all when ptr=1. Should I even be bothering trying to sim for 7.2 at the moment?
no.
until I say "it's ready"
it is not
^^
only thing you can see
is bugfixes
cool ๐ thanks! saves me some time today, lol
Hmm, just got a 895 Stabilized Energy Pendant (neck with 5% bonus max energy) Does anyone know if Simulationcraft actually calculates the 5% energy bonus?
y it should
ok, thanks a lot!
not bad as an Assassination Gnome w/ Vigor ๐
Im subtelty, not sure if the 5% energy is worth getting so much crit ( i got mantle so crit is pretty bad)
if i sim it, i lose 700 dps. Nothing basicly
any thoughts to delaying another traight in MA for 7.2? right now i have to wait for kingsbane to come off of cooldown with CoF.
so pick up the 10%, envenom, gushing wounds and a point into new garrote
is it just me or is the cape not very good even on AOE?
It feels very week to me
I have Boots\Wrists\Belt\KJBW\Sephuz\ and now Cape
I was thinking of trying Dreadlord's and KJBW for aoe like spellblade, but do you guys think i'd be better off just going with Boots and Wrists? (I have Frond and CoF)
i would. rupture what you can and focus on single target
So i just picked up footpads, and i only have 1MA relic, options are 890 frond, 900 dos, and 860 cof. Currently frond and dos sim highest but Im wondering if/when i should use CoF
Aa a note, sin spec
dont really like giving this answer cause i feel that im not really helping but just sim it and practice with all the trinkets and see
someone got a sheet for 7.2 New Trait purchase order including all 3 specs?
@split sorrel got a 7.2 bug for ya. Poison Bomb is not implemented at all on the ptr version.
I am aware
Oh ok. Well so far a Nightstalker build beats a subterfuge build very easily. 30k+ We'll see if that changes when PB and the UTK changes are implimented.
Just like I thought it would. Unlike some people who argued against me...
Is there an estimate of how much dps sub lose with the mantle change?
5%
So in short sub will get hit pretty hard with the anticipation bug fix and shoulders... x_x?
y
guess it is finally time to switch spec, sigh. Why does each patch hit sub when there is like 10% of the rogue population playing th spec
Is it going to be that bad ๐ฆ i was looking forward to sub in tomb
lol so sub is over and never gonna raise ๐ฆ
finally got boot for etraus mm and i have to switch spec for 7.2 pff and assa so boring..
I know im in the same boat ๐ฆ
i tought assa was nerf with mantle nerf and 4p but after i see the bugfix i lost all hope
^well sub is currently performing really well so even with a 5% nerf i wouldn't loose all hope
our traits seem really good and at least 2 piece is gonna be strong
@split sorrel so we level up assa after 7.2 if we do mm content, no hope for sub even with boot/bracer ?
its more than 5% nerf with the fix of finality
the mantle nerf is for all the spec atleast but finality bug was the only thing that make sub viable
well our aoe is getting hit extremely hard with finality dfa bug getting fixed but id say it will still be fine
having a gameplaychanging bug isnt exactly something i personally enjoy and if we end up like shit you can expect hotfix bugs at some point
buffs*
evi get hit a lot with finality fix too, not only aoe
ye i know. but its not that insane
you are right if it was a spec that alot of ppl play but sub..
evi is like more than 40% of my damage right now, so with finality fix, we loose like 10% mayb 15% on 1/2 evi ?
finality +mantle
10% overall evisc dmg if you perfectly get 10 cp every non-finality eviscerate and dont overcap cp
the best sub player doesn't even run anticipation

evi at 6-9 cp was still a boost too with finality!
if u think sub is unviable without finality bug right now ur delusional
y he is a god but we are not all god
yes we probably need to switch talent
what exactly are the mantle changes/nerfs?
@swift lynx exactly my opinion
but we can give up t19 4p ?
@hollow timber check theorycrafting tab
we will see when 7.2 hit but 4% seems low
?
its not a big deal to drop anticipation bug. at most it's 4% more realisticly 3%
i hope you are right!
really curious how strpol plays with 4pc and DS
but playing anticipation now seems not good compared to stratagem
@fiery moon yep same
is the shadowdance-stealth prepull opener getting fixed with 7.2?
play DS if u have mantle
not ant
even with Finality bug
well rather, play DS if u don't have bracers
no @buoyant depot
@split sorrel wait i thought anticipation was a dps increase regardless with the bug. sad that prepull bug isnt getting fixed as well but at least ill get more dps from it while its in game. thanks for the answear
anticipations a lot more forgiving on mistakes and less dependent on energetic rng (if u don't have boots)
yo guys, somehelp me with apls for shoulders + dos :> cant make it right ๐ฆ
hey guys, trying to sim Draught together with the mantle APL, so I took the draught action line from the APL sample list from a sim without mantle APL inserted, but it gives me an error when I try to combine the 2, not sure what is wrong?
nvm figured it out
@torn dome can you share your mantle apl? you said a few days its better than the pinned one
Hello guys, just go insignia, and the extra I got is only the +3.9% flat damage ?
got insignia, and i'm wondering if the extra damage i got is *
On st yes thats around what the damage effect sims
Thats not a simulation question
I tried changing the priority list for my sin simulation, as the opener in simulationcraft (I have draught and mantly) is vanish mut rupture draught torrent mutilate garrote rupture kings vendetta, which is all sorts of weird. Any quick and clean way to change that?
http://pastebin.com/tM5g1H8d
What the apl I currently use looks like @zinc pecan
Any1 here happens to have a simc line handy or a knowledgable person that can make a line where it pops prolonged at >30% boss hp?
There are my APLs. They are pretty solid at this point I'd say. I'm still mucking around with Kingsbane and Vanish though. Trying to force it to wait for the last portion of kingsbane has been frustrating. Let me know if you find any errors.
Those APL's dont seem all that right
My 895 sin rogue simmed at 283 and kings/draught/rupture are all under 1mil per execute
@nocturne niche The new Poison Bomb isn't implimented yet on the PTR version. Also subterfuge no longer extends 100% crit by 3 seconds when you vanish.
I'm trying to figure out how much DPS im going to lose from going back NS because of the nerf, but 75k seems drastic
@noble pendant PM me the exact apl you are using.
So without using subterfuge since it's breaking, is mantle still on top using NS vs. other legi's?
Yes
@mossy hearth Posting here because I can't post in the theorycrafting channel. I went over the sim you posted in TC. The issue you're having with mantle-subterfuge is in the APL. If you check the sample actions, vanish is only followed by garrote once, other times its used for KB and envenom. Also, the zoldycks sub build never casts vanish.
but look at the opener garrote
why is the sub one the lower of the 2
i know the other things, basically
@mossy hearth Why is there a 1 ilvl difference between the 2 gear sets?
is nightblooming frond simming correctly atm?
i just got it and compared it to my dos, and it simmed the same
frond is simming correct and the answer of this question is even pinned.
why is it that everyday someone asks about frond simming correctly
Because on !trinkets, at the top it still says that frond sims higher than it should be
@mossy hearth I cant post in theorycrafting, but in combat subter-vanish garrotes also don't show increased dmg in the weakaura I use to distinguish between ns/subter buffed rup/gar and non-buffed ones
thought it was just a wa bug and dismissed it as inconsequential months ago
ye
if I do 2 garrotes in a row during subterfuge it shows as increased dmg
I haven't actually compared the damage numbers because I thought it was just a visual bug
and with ns it always shows as buffed, used from stealth or from vanish
for both garrote and rup
so I guess it's possible that it's a bug with subter ingame
and simc is using it correctly
Is there an APL I can use to sim DoS vs Frond with the shoulders? Neither one of the pinned ones seem to use DoS, the ones that Miie posted don't seem to work at all for me, tells me I'd do 280k dps or something completely wrong? I'm not quite savvy enough with simcraft to edit existing APLs to incorporate DoS
actions.cds+=/use_item,slot=trinket2,if=energy.time_to_max>3.5&(!talent.agonizing_poison.enabled|(debuff.agonizing_poison.stack=5&debuff.surge_of_toxins.remains>3))&((equipped.144236&buff.master_assassins_initiative.remains>=3|cooldown.vanish.remains>=10)|!equipped.144236)
this is what I use for dos
with mantle
with dos as trinket 2 ofc
so just add that to the APL under cds?
thanks, i'll give that a shot
might not be perfect but it's better than nothing ๐
hmm using that my ilvl 900 frond out perofrms ilvl 900 DoS, using the shoulders, by about 4k. Does that seem realistic? I would have assumed DoS would be better when using the shoulders
yep
yep as in that seems right or yep as in DoS should be better? :d
interesting, not what I was expecting at all
frond has agi, dos has haste
personally I think the playstyle gets smoother without dos too
yea I know, and I'm the first to point out the value of the agi on frond when people say its bad, but I thought the shoulders would make DoS much better due to the 100% crit, basically pretending to be warriors for whom its very strong
I think the shoulders do increase the value of dos
Draught has its fights where it's better than frond by far , for me this was chromatic, trilliax, krosus, even scorpion when used with shoulders and vanish in. Rudy phase can't remember others right now on my phone you can check all my pug logs as they are not private @ slicksalo on eu draenor ๐
if I simc for stats weight with item A, do I need to simc stats weight again with item B to compare or do I use the weights found at the first simc to compare the items ?
Usually it's pretty safe to compare items with your current stat weights, and then just redo the weights if you change items for future comparisons.
will there be simulations with the new traits ready before or shortly after 7.2 is live?
yes.
๐
Still no APL to find the best dice Policy ? (I can't start working on it before 10 april)
I believe in you and the other simmers Aethys, I give you all my energy.
ptr.wowhead gives me the string artifact=43:0:0:0:0:323:3:324:3:325:3:326:3:327:3:328:3:329:3:330:3:331:3:332:1:333:1:334:1:335:1:337:1:346:1:347:1:1276:1:1384:1:1651:1 for my weapon, 1384:1 is the 20 point trait and 1651:1 is the new 10% dmg done trait. But i lose about 70k dps going from live to this, is the new flat dmg trait working ? Yes I just updated to the newest nightly before simming
this is as assa*
only asking this because I thought on the github I saw that new flat dmg trait being added, ignore me
@Atheri#3503 ok thanks
Hello, in simcraft my food buff is always seedbattered fish, is there a way I can change this?
Hey guys, how come I sim about 40k lower if I import my char from armory compared to using the simC addon? I use the mantle DoS APL for both sims and same gear
Fond sims roughly 2-3% higher then it performed for me
no
your frond performed 2-3% less than what it performs in average
on the sample you're looking at
no, I physically used the POS in heroic and mythic and was on average doing 2-2.5 % dps while simming the same fights and performs higher, 4-6%
the live rate and sim rates need to be adjusted to have a proper value
Then teach me ๐
I just have the data, not the solution
How do I upload combat logs w/o world of logs?
I'm running the sim real time while Im physiccally doin the same thing
that's alway where I'm drawing my difference from
Isn't that data already out there on warcraftlogs?
can anyone help with sim's action.cooldown/use_item? im tryin to sim kiljaedens_burning_wish(not for rogue) and it wont show its dmg
i couldve swore it would show its dmg
and its no longer giving me an error
Its does, you have the latest version
yh nighty build as well as the recommended fury's APL from their discord
What data are you looking for though? The actual proc rate of the trinket?
its dmg. so im not sure if its been sim correctly
already added to the use_item as well trinket1
i believe i put it correctly. been tryin to do it myself before asking for help
Sim Credit goes to Aethys#5243 on discord.
trust whatever u prefer between the red text and person who got credits
๐
got me
L2 read I guess is the moral of the story
What do you think of the Urn vs Fond for Static DPS gain? I'm resimming everything. Gonnd try fond some more on longer fights and see if it performs well
it's more luck than fight length related ๐
dang, my RNG is a Gray Parse....
I haven't seen much data on Burning WIsh? Whats your thought on that trinket for Assination
you can sim it its implemented in simcraft ๐
I'm not talking sim, Im talking more if people have experience w/ it and have used it
Obviously its going to be more situational
I'll try and collect more data on Fond and have some more infor when I come back. Thanks for your time
Ive been using it on nearly every fight in NH for 4-5 weeks. I can honestly say Its 2.5-6% of my damage most of the time. Ive had maybe 1 or 2 pulls out of 40 kills where it was less than that and I havent had any kills with it being higher than 6%
I still think the sim is a tiny bit high on % of damage for frond but thats just anecdotal evidence
I got a question about CP overcap, if anyone can help me.
Icy-veins says that to Envenom at 4-5 or always at 5 CP makes little to no difference.
Should I always Envenom at 5 CP to get 10% SoT? Isn't a DPS loss to Mutilate at 4 CP to get only 1 CP?
when will simulation craft implement the Sin changes?
today
Did I ask in the wrong channel? Where should I ask those stuff?
@lament cargo you will envenom at 4 or 5, depending on CPs. if you're at 4 CP, and you can reapply garrote, you can then use 5 CP
and yes
#228879234540503040 would work
any sims for the new patch?
Ask in general
simcraft nightly isnt out yet
warlock and mage were still adding stuff an hour ago
didnt see that was 3 hours ago he asked, my bad
Anyone taken a loot at how valuable the new sub golden trait it?
vs other valuable traits(nb dmg, evis, SoD, ES?)
Newest 7.2 nightly still doesnt have Poison bomb procing or seem to have the artifact talent for KB CDR.
or garrote damage increase from artifact talent
โค aethys. Wasnt sure if it was supposed to be included as a fix when not using PTR or when the spell data dump happened.
Thanks Aethys
@split sorrel The new nightly build (released 18:14) got all the 7.2 updates, right?
no.
Outlaw viable now for raiding?
Alright, thanks.
hi on the Outlaw APL if the prepull rtb gets tb or any +3 it just says roll_the_bones and you are unable to see what buffs it is. However if it rerolls again the buffs will be listed out along with roll_the_bones was wondering down the line if its possible to get the buffs listed on the first successful rtb as well! would be nice ๐
hey i noticed on my assassination sim its casting vanish on pull, is that correct? or am i reading it wrong
same for me http://i.imgur.com/DKbOBWx.png
@merry pike open an issue pls
@vague torrent wait 7.2 stuff
same for @frosty shell
also I have an APL update in my bag
and, I'm going to play Assassination starting tomorrow, except if some crazy things happens to subtlety.
so expect more Assassination updates ๐
In Assa ? I doubt
Is the APL updated for sin? Sorry if repeat
o.O
have people figured out what the priority on the new sub traits are ?
Why is fok so high
Guessing that is an aoe fight?
shame on you my dear
so we going for new traits on release or old ones?
So some interesting math here. Thanks to @late willow for making me explore this line of thought.
Since Mastery will boost Env damage but not Bleed damage eventually we will reach a point where A NS Env will be superior to a NS rupture.
At 170% Mastery
Nightstalker Mantled Env
Mantle (5cp NS Env 3475% AP + 4cp env 1853.3% AP 4cp Env 1853.3% AP )+ 5cp Rup 3093.75% AP = 10275.3% AP
Nightstalker Mantled Rupture
Mantle (5cp NS Rup 5197.5%AP + 4cp Env 1853.3% + 4cp Env 1853.3% AP) + 5cp Env 1447.9% AP = 10352% AP
At 180% Mastery
Nightstalker Mantled Env
Mantle (5cp NS Env 3603.6% AP + 4cp env 1992% AP 4cp Env 1922% AP )+ 5cp Rup 3093.75% AP = 10681.35% AP
Nightstalker Mantled Rupture
Mantle (5cp NS Rup 5197.5%AP + 4cp Env 1992% + 4cp Env 1992% AP) + 5cp Env 1501.5% AP = 10683% AP
At 190% Mastery
Nightstalker Mantled Env
Mantle (5cp NS Env 3732.3% AP + 4cp env 1990.6% AP 4cp Env 1990.6% AP )+ 5cp Rup 3093.75% AP = 10807.2% AP
Nightstalker Mantled Rupture
Mantle (5cp NS Rup 5197.5%AP + 4cp Env 1990.6% + 4cp Env 1990.6% AP) + 5cp Env 1555% AP = 10733.2% AP
Above 180% Mastery with 25% crit a NS env is better than a NS rupture.
The higher your crit the more mastery you will need for a NS env to beat a NS rupture.
We also have to consider that using 3 env during the mantle period requires 10 more energy than 2 env and a rupture.
Additionally, when we reach the point that we are 4/4 Toxic Blades but still 3/4 Gushing wounds the Mastery required for a NS env to overtake a NS rupture will be less.
I don't have post privs. Thanks!
you can now
@bleak sky I think it would be worth to take Blood of the Assassinated into account
eventually it could proc or be already active at the moment of that decision, am I right?
BoTA is a 30% proc chance right?
I can account for that. I also need to account for the fact that even if we only used env during mantle rupture would be up anyway and benifiting from mantle.
There are other complex factors I have to add in also. I'll do some sims later when we get a 7.2 feature complete version.
thats cool, thanks for sharing this. I think BoTA is 35% proc chance
Damn. I liked vigor ๐ฆ
but is anticipation in mass aoe better?
Thats going to be interesting to get used to
vigor changed?
I would assume Anticipation in mass aoe, otherwise you would be wasting cp
Use vigor on Assa?
but in 7.2, there will not be any sub anymore
new sims for rogues out? Sorry if it's been asked already
do u think sub will be dead? there is no way i will play assa <_>
well they nurfed alot of the bugs that made sub good
