Since Nightcrowler is still MIA, and FbN therefore isn't likely to be updated to 3.3 anytime soon, SimulationCraft probably has taken over as being the premier feral DPS simulator. The aim of this thread is to find out which combination of gear/talents/rotations etc. yields the highest theoretical DPS in the latest version of SimulationCraft. In order to keep the results comparable it´s required to agree on one set of frame conditions. I will try to set those initially to something I deem realistic for an - reasonably min-maxing - 25 ppl progress raid (which essentially means you get every buff available). I am open for suggestions though.

Relevant Options
Patch3.3.0
LatencyLow
Iterations10000
Length (sec)300
Fight StylePatchwerk
Smooth RNGNo
BuffsAll checked
DebuffsAll checked

Values to optimize:
Glyphs

Gear
Talents
Buff consumables
Attack priority list

I will try to keep track of what currently is the best profile for both mangle and non-mangle situations according to the posts in this thread and post the numbers here if I can validate them with my own version of SimulationCraft.

Method of reporting better profiles:
If you've found a profile that yields more DPS than any of the above you can report it in any of the following ways
a) Give a full description of anything that´s not a fixed value as per this post (glyphs, gear, talents, used buff consumables, action priorities, etc.).
b) Download the profile linked above and explain precisely what you changed
c) Download the profile, make the changes, upload it somewhere and give me the link to it
If the changes ain't submitted in any of those ways or if important parts are omitted I can't and won't include it here. ]]> Druids Mihir http://elitistjerks.com/f73/t81052-best_possible_feral_dps_simulationcraft/ Healkin PvE presentation http://elitistjerks.com/f73/t79369-healkin_pve_presentation/new-post.html Thu, 29 Oct 2009 12:12:01 GMT Hello guys !

Long time since I last posted here. I wanted to present my spec for a long time but couldn't find the time to do so (I'm a sort of excentric casual... well) I'm asking for feedback about this, I think you will be more efficient than me to find what has to be found about this. Maybe this build was already discussed.

Let's begin with my armory : The World of Warcraft Armory
(don't mind the balance 2nd spec, I didn't even try to look at the talents)
If you click on my talent tree : The World of Warcraft Armory

This is a healing PvE spec, but not really a FFA one. (though FFA is pretty good on some fight with this : faction champions for example) The idea is to spam nourrish on a tank, refreshing only regrowth. Sometimes a rejuvenation won't hurt, if you feel like there's no need to hurry. But basically it is regrowth + nourrish.

The build is based on three talents :
- Nature's Bounty : +25% crit on regrowth and nourrish
- Nature's Grace : +20% haste after a crit for 3 seconds
- Living Seed : plant a seed procing on the next hit healing for 30% of the amount healed or overhealed.

Spamming nourrish (with 2p T9 and critrate and lot of intel and buffs I'm ~70% crit on nourrish) makes Nature's Bounty always up, so Nourrish is always a 1-sec cast (sometimes less, I'm actually haste-overcapped) ; you proc more than 2 living seed every 3 seconds so basically every attack make this proc.

The quickness and effectiveness of the heal (it's like two or three never-ending penance) and the living seeds make this build the best heal build possible to avoid windows of damage. The potential HPS on the tank is great (basically 12k+ HPS with the seeds).

The mana burnrate is not a big deal as long as you are prepared to equip mana regen trinkets (algalon 10 omg + kologarn 10) and give up the tree form (which is ugly so who cares ? ;-) ) and take dreamstate. With two mana-regen talents + a good itemization and mp5 consumables, you'll have the mana regen to handle it.


After using this for a long time (monthes), I feel like this build has a real place in the heal builds. It's not just "good", it gives new tools and has specific look (caster look *_*), talents, itemization, ... It allows effective and selective FFA though it's not optimized (I am 99% of times first heal on faction champions normal and heroic, 10 and 25) as well as very powerfull tank healing. Though the healmeter doesn't mean a lot, it's sometimes funny to see the overall healing or the healing done to the tank with this spec.

But I'm a casual player (as you can see in my achievments) and I haven't try the best content of the game, so I would be happy to hear your feedbacks about this. ]]> Druids http://elitistjerks.com/f73/t79369-healkin_pve_presentation/
