For the love of god don't split a single quoted post into a billion fragments like this. It makes your post damn near unreadable.

With the changes on the PTR so far, they were seeing over 6000 dps sustained. Does the simulator take into account the way the new sunder/ff interact with the new boss armor values? Also, does it take into account the +25% ArP and +30% melee haste from the latest build? Sorry for all the questions. Trying to figure out why the numbers seem off when compared to other people's numbers.

The more detailed the feedback is, the better. 
+30% haste, +25% ArPen are both in.
target_armor=10645
is used in 3.1.0 simulations.

Also, why does TickCrit have 2 values? Is it lower and upper bound instead of average TickCrit? The recommended glyphs are rip, shred, and savage roar instead of the default shred, mangle, and savage roar. Is it possible to have the model use the agility food instead of fish feast?

Talents will be adjusted.
Multiple values always refer to Average|Max.
Glyphs will get changed, food also.

Also, I may be wrong, but it seems the shred glyph maybe modeled improperly? It has 10.0 applications with 105 ticks. That would be an average of 10.5 ticks per rip, putting its average duration at 21. Shred glyph adds at most 6 seconds (3 ticks) to the duration of rip, and that's if you get 3 shreds per rip in. Base duration of rip is 12 seconds. 12+6 =18 second duration at most. I'll try and look at the source code tomorrow morning if I see any other discrepancies.
|
By default all dot/buff actions are skipped if the buff is still active. I'll look into shred glyph extending rip.
actions+=/rip,cp>=5,rip<=6
It's more like, when the druid stops to spend combo points on other finishers. So if rip<=6sec he won't spend any cp on ferocious_bite.

Yea you are right, I also got that form the cat dps thread when i tried to optimise the feral actions myself and it was a dps increase to drop the cp<=4, but that was after the last release. So the latest SampleOutputPTR does not reflect those.

Modeled and everything, just like above, I even added a conditional to only use it when TF is up, as I read it's best used right after activatin Tiger's Fury.

Finally, the stats displayed on the break down under core stats. Are these values buffed or unbuffed?
|
Oh, looks like those 160 AP are not taken into account anywhere in the code. T8_Melee_Base is ONLY stats from gear, all the rest is done by the druid module. AP from agility is there. Those stats should be buffed w/o flask/food.
I'll post a new sim with your changes when I'm ready with them
