Hey guys. My name is Beasts I play a 70 druid on Stormreaver. I am a stataholic and game fanatic. I’ve spent 2.5 years designing a very powerful druid simulator / optimizer (started Dec. 11 / 2005 using Excel ’97). Here is a feature list of what the tool does. You can find my demonstration video on youtube:
YouTube - Beasts' Druid Simulator / Optimizer (WoW)
or just do a search for “beasts druid” mine is the one with around 25k views.
Feature List
- You tell the program what race you are. This will change all graphics, quest names, item names, statistics, titles, buffs (no Draenei buffs for horde ;P etc. etc.)
- You tell the program your level, melee skills, your allegiance w/ Scryers or Aldor and your professions.
- You tell the program all your talents (which affect the rest of the program). Every spec can be simulated. Changes to the talent trees automatically adjust your dps, healing and threat meters in real-time.
- You tell the program which environment you want it to simulate. This changes your opponents options from PVE to PVP and also for ex. removes all item benefits that aren’t usefull in the arena if you select arena.
- You tell the program who your opponent is. I have macros for player opponents with information from the armory. You can select a class / sub-class and gear level for any class or select an avg. of all opponents (battleground and arena sections).
- You tell the program what buffs you will have. If you always run w/ a paladin and priest for ex. (like I do lol) you can select which buffs they are giving you. I have a macro for raid buffs as well. Every buff that can be improved via talents is also there as well as any set or item bonuses (Cenarion thorns bonus for ex.) Like the rest of the program this will change all dps / healing meters dynamically.
- You tell the program your current gear, enchants, gems (all enchants and gems are built in, all procs simulated, all set bonuses applied and/or simulated). Built in gem counter for meta gems.
- You tell the program what forms you play, how often you stay in each form and how often you switch to forms (for mana reasons). Also the estimated fight duration.
- You tell the program what skills you use and with what frequency (I will explain how to adjust the program for rotations although cat rotations are built into the program). There are 5 playstyle sections (1 for each combat form) and combat simulators for each form which is basically a combat summary. Combined summary to be added shortly. Because there are so many skills to select I also have a “defaults” button macro. All downranking is applied automatically if you choose lower ranks and you can see efficiencies on the fly. Opponent mitigation is also factored in here so you can see dmg. after mitigation.
- Once you have filled out the above sections the magic begins. The program now rates every item in the game in up to 27 categories (varies w/ spec) as %ages compared to your current gear. For instance if it says healing in druid form +6.2% that means your healing would go up 6.2% if you had that weapon / armor piece instead of your current one. Before you go to the item lists you have to tell the program what gems you would like to put in which sockets so it can fill them into the item lists. If you select matching gems for blue and yellow sockets for instance and the item has a blue and yellow socket then the program also updates the item stats with the socket bonus of the item. Every item use / proc is simulated over the duration of the fight.

EDIT2: Sorry I read the guidelines after this post and have adjusted it accordingly. I now know that I need to make 10 solid posts here before I even have a chance at my own thread. Sorry to post here wasn't sure where to post exactly. I'm not going to rush out and do 8 silly posts. I'll wait till I get some quality time to put in some quality posts. Forgive me for having this here for now.
