It would have to be evaluated correctly how lag negates the effects from 1s cap if you have a casttime not under (1s-lag), but there is a cap there in real WoW which is experienced in every heroism phase for a gcd-class, some more than others.

It represented such a large change to certain classes (such as Moonkins) I wanted to give the community a chance to evaluate it before making it the default. It significantly lowers the haste soft-cap which means that it can also interfere with scale factor creation, etc.

I expect it to become the default in the future. Just waiting on more feedback.

SimulationCraft v9 (r3883) released.

RecentUpdates - simulationcraft - Project Hosting on Google Code

Includes new item procs (such as Shadowmourne) and the beginnings of DK support.

Unholy/Blood should be pretty solid, frost is the tree lacking big up to this revision.
If you are one of those who live with the latest version from trunk:
Obliterate is now active (didn't notice the create_action was commented out)
Howling Blast is also in the mix
Options:
rime=1, HB
killing_machine=1, IT/FS/HB

SampleOutput wiki pages completely overhauled. Includes latest PTR modeling.

EDIT: Cleaned up first post.

Simcqt when using wowhead profiles thru the importer. Mousing over gear is missing some gems. So I'm not sure if the importer is getting all the gems in my gear or not. When I use the profiles through firefox all the gems show up.

Please open an Issue and include your wowhead ID number for the profile in question.

SimC v14 just released

DK support is looking stronger

target_adds=N for simulating additional-nearby attacks. We are still missing a bunch of AoE abilities, but any action already coded for use in single-target mode will work. (ie: Blade Flurry, Chain Lightning, Swipe, Starfall, Magma Totem, Fire Elemental, etc)

The project description says that simulationcraft "is a multi-player event driven simulator written in C++ that models raid damage and threat generation."

I've searched through the example output pages but all I seem to find is dps stats. Is threat generation a feature yet to be implemented?

Ah.... I'm busted! ;-)

I thought I removed that "and threat generation". I'm afraid it has been the "second" item on my list for a year now. It just never gets popped off the stack.

It really isn't that hard to add given the infrastructure we have in place. Right now I have two things on my plate that I'm trying to decide between: (1) GUI paper doll so I am not so reliant upon wowhead, or (2) threat generation and mitigation analysis

There are some really cool things possible for #2 with simulation, but at the moment my frustration-factor with wowhead profile gem-display is making me lean towards the less-exciting-but-probably-more-useful #1.

In the meantime, I've added the text "(in the near future)" before "threat generation".

Sorry to disappoint, but thanks for keeping me honest!!!

SimC 330-1 is released.

The wiki pages are not yet updated: Still waiting on that punk Dedmon to update the Rogue profiles!

The "Helter-Skelter" option has changed:
Old: movement, interrupts, stuns
New: movement, interrupts, stuns, adds(temporary), distraction(temporary skill decrease)

Several new things exposed at the gui:
varied combat length (better model long CD abilities/procs)
player skill
nearby adds (sorry, no multi-DoT support.... YET!)

Deathbringers Will is supported. Coded as 35% proc rate, 105sec CD, random (1 of 3) stat proc unique to each class

I'll post a full update list later.

EDIT: Deathbringers Will is a tad broken at the moment (unless you are a warrior). I'll have a fix later tonight.... Waiting to see if any other bugs shake out. If you compile your own, the fix is in r4097.

A GUI would be more useful than threat generation modeling, since that would help more people than threat. Threat generation by the tank is still a great feature to see.

Once the 330 release settles down, I'm going to put in some plumbing for threat, but no module-specific support. Torn has expressed some interest in working on at least the DK threat model once that is complete.

Which leaves me with "paper-doll" support or enhanced multi-target support (ie: multi-DoTs, etc)

SimC-330-2 is released

Relevant changes between v1 and v2:

Is there something wrong with the 330 v2 release? Im using the same configuration as the v1 release for my DK and it is only counting 2 abilities, Melee hand damage and blood caked blade. 17-0-54 spec.

Edit: As requested, i am also using the GUI (Simcqt.exe) if that matters.

Starfox squeezed in a DK update right before the release....... perhaps there is a bug. I'll let him know.

Please edit your post to include a link to your DK toon.
