DRW is counted as an effect, it doesn't appear in the spell cast sequence.

Raiding is full of challenge. Sometimes there is fire. You have to not be in the fire.

Incorrect values ad other anomallys

Hey Vontre,

I was getting dps calculations that were not matching what I was doing in game even following the rotation.
Link to test bed: http://www.magegraf.com/deathgraf/in...b2dbfa6610081e

Anyways i was checking over some of the numbers in debug mode and noticed that the calculations automaticly included mark of the wild, even though its not an option in the buff window.

Also with my particle gear import it doesn't show the bracers, even though the stats show up close but they are over by 3 str.

Also checked over the bladed armor values and it says 450ap =>795.28 but i came up with 373.72.

Also I believe Its doubling up on shadow of death and ravenous dead.

Horn of winter is 155 agi and str, not 178.25.

Not tryn to be hateful, just wanting to help make sure the calculations come out better and more accurate.

It shouldn't be a big difference for the rest of the time.

As for the runic power, it's just holding onto it for a few seconds before casting gargoyle, not a big deal.

[e] Also the sim is built for 3.0.8
Would it be possible to add an option to cancel Freezing Fog procs (or simply not model them)? I know in theory it generally increases DPS to use the Rime proc and replace the HB with a IT+PS, but in practice it's nigh-impossible to pull off without screwing up the rotation (one of the big reasons I think a lot of us were looking forward to no-cd HB, since then it wouldn't really impact the rotation). This is for DW DPS, of course. I'd also be curious to see just how much of a difference it is between the two, in case it is enough to make it worthwhile to try and master a rotation without /cancelling the Rime procs.

EDIT: Also, one quick note - is haste being transferred to the pets? Looking at the spell details for the Gargoyle Strikes and the Auto Attack (I'm assuming the one at the bottom is the Ghoul's Auto-attack) I didn't see any benefit from haste rating nor the +haste from Unholy Presence. It's known that these transfer to the Ghoul, unless there's a display issue on the pet panel (as it reflects the additional haste), and it's believed that it transfers to the Gargoyle as well (but I don't recall where that proof would be at).

One thing I found interesting is after importing a custom spec. 51/0/20. It is wanting to use death strike instead of obliterate in the cast sequence. Obliterate shows up in the spell detail as well as rune strike.

I believe it already does ignore Rime procs.

The program doesn't import toons with special characters in their names.

e.g. my character is solîd (i is alt+140) on shadowsong and i get an "armory error" although the armory is working.

Similar problem here.
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 76 bytes) in /var/www/public_html/magegraf.com/public/includes/math.php on line 11
Happens when I tick all 4 specs. Unticking one (blood unholy) fixes the problem. Adding a custom spec and having 4 specs selected also brings up this error message.

I don't have a way to get around the memory problem right now. Just don't try to calculate a bunch of specs at the same time. =)

I had to temporarily disable the gear selector and armory import because they are hugely broken right now. Not sure what's been going on there.

Any plans to upgrade this to 3.10 ? It really helped me get my dps up before 3.1 arrived
