The action lists are PRIORITY lists that the SimC AI walks down every time the player is ready to "press a button".

The PTR SampleOutput is normally just T9 BiS with T9 set bonuses replaced with T10 set bonuses. The Shaman Enhancement profiles include the Fire Elemental Totem glyph at the moment and have points moved from Reverberation to Improved Fire Nova Totem.

It's glibly called ZAP!, it's made in Microsoft Office 2007, and there's a fairly detailed user guide on my blog.

Latest version: 1.0.5 (patch 3.2.2)

You can download it from one of these links:
Download ZAP!
Download ZAP! compatibility version
Only use the "compatibility version" if the normal one doesn't work for you.

What can it do?
The main page is meant to look pleasingly familiar to anyone used to SEIC, and does basically the same kind of stuff: it's essentially a tool for comparing options for gear, glyphs, talent choices, and so forth. There's also a "sandbox" rotation editor tool, which allows you to experiment with different ways of doing elemental DPS - maybe to evaluate DPS in a specific scenario or under the influence of a specific temporary effect, or to explore optimal normal spell use, or whatever you like really. It should be fairly flexible.

Because SEIC's development stopped sort of mid-build, ZAP! is probably a bit more accurate than SEIC for some things. However, because I'm not Binkenstein, the level of sophistication is probably lower. At any rate, I have aimed to make it easy to use and accessible while providing a range of useful little features that might be... useful.

What can't it do?
Normal formulation limitations apply. Hopefully you can circumvent some of them using the Sandbox. As a tool for evaluating gear and stuff, it's at least as useful as any other tool out there. ZAP! cannot think for you or make decisions for you, it can only suggest and calculate.

This looks a lot like SEIC, did you totally just knock it off?
This project is entirely my own work, based on my own understanding of the maths and mechanisms and the results of my own playtesting. However, most of my own understanding of these things comes from long-term readership of these forums and the elemental TTT when it was maintained by Binkenstein, as well as from SEIC itself. So no it's not a knock-off, but yes it owes a huge debt to people who aren't me. Plus, SEIC's UI was just a work of genius, so while I tried to improve on it slightly I did stick to the overall concept.

Other options
If you don't like ZAP!, or even if you do, you might want to check out one of these tools instead:
Rawr elemental, presently maintained by Lord Helmchen
SEIC by Binkenstein, continued by Caelwynar on page 12.
ESSE by Irdx
gothic's sim by gothic

Feedback
If you find mistakes or weird things, want to ask a question or just have something to say, please don't hesitate to let me know. If it's a useful observation or valid question it'd be better to post it here; if it's a generic banal comment you'd be better off directing it to my blog pages.

How do I use this?!
...there's a guide on my blog, remember? It's really quite in-depth, you should check it out. There's a pretend-FAQ, too. ]]> Shamans Zamir http://elitistjerks.com/f79/t80396-elemental_zap_spreadsheet/
