Awesome, just a few requests though:
- Could you please still keep the old sims for Live on download? Considering it's the official version and it's still being used to determine current builds & gears and all. In addition 3.2 won't come in a few months.
- Did you update so that BCB can proc stuffs? I know it's not very big of an issue for 2H, but for dual wielding it makes a big difference between runeforges and builds.
Thanks you ~

EDIT: Did you change the value of Frost Strike bonus in Sigil of VH? It seems to be working "too well" for me.

- Previous version are stored here : Downloads - dksimulator - Google Code. I update the OP.
- BCB can now proc runeforge? You have a source or something?
- I have forgot the sigil update too.

Necrosis 74993129 3 402798 100 0 0 186
Main Hand 340861649 15 149538 42 41 15 2279
Off Hand 199685148 9 253260 42 41 15 788

Edit: If you add the main-hand and off-hand, multiply that by 0.20 and then by 0.95 for resists, you expect 102703891.4. Actually getting 74993129 instead. The older version of the sim was showing higher Necrosis damage than the current one. I thought this was due to only the main-hand damage actually being counted (off-hand procs but no damage). I should have explained it better. Necrosis damage not at level expected should have been the statement.

There you go. Notice how Unholy Strength is noted BEFORE the attacks which procs it, and on the same second. Check 11:08:38, Blood-Caked Strike proc'd it.

@Orlgin: You mean in PTR it's only proccing off MH? Because in the data you posted:
402798 = 149538 + 253260
So the sim is using both MH + OH
EDIT 2 was removed - The boss resists it looks like, but it's quite a lot of resists.

The report tab could need a few tweaks. Sort the damage by percent and scroll to the bottom automatically.

Did you notice, that Unholy does the most damage? VH sigil also does more damage than Awareness.

A tip for everyone else: You can start one simulator per cpu core without any performance losses.

That is not necessarily true. The combat log doesn't show everything in the correct order. I found that out in BC with swordspec procs.

Yeah but it clearly showed Unholy Strength proc'd the same second Blood Caked Strike hits. Unless a proc can hit a second after something hits?

I ran a EP calculation for 1000 hours and got a negative value for Expertise for 9.1. Starting Expertise was 150. Spec was my standard 0/18/53 using Desolation. I'm still getting low values for Necrosis as well. It seems odd to have 24% melee damage and only have 3% Necrosis damage even with resists. I also got an abnormally low Haste value compared to previous sims with similiar stats.

Can you possibly add a feature for Killing machine procs. Basically it'd be when Killing Machine is up and enough RP is there, it uses Frost Strike. possibly something like <KM> or <KillingMachine>. Or is there already a function/does it already prioritize FS for KM procs. There could also be a <KillingMachineHB> etc...

You currently have Black Ice modifying Necrosis. This hasn't been the case on Live since 3.1 - has Blizzard reverted this change on the PTR?

Orlgin,
I made some changes to the EP calculation and I'm very surprised that you get negative value. I have made them just when the 3.2 release notes came out and I forgot to include that in the release notes.
Let me explain the change in details. When you run in EP mode, the expertise is set to the dodge cap and the hit rating is set to the melee hit cap. When it calculate the hit and exp. value, it reduce their rating by 50 (default value) to calculate the dps loss.
I have also add a "smooth" function. Once checked, the simulator calculate the average strike damage instead of reading the result of the RNG.
damage = AvrgCrit*CritChance + AvrgNonCrit*(1-CritChance )

[e] I have found the problem with Necrosis. It was sending 0 damage to off hand necrosis.

Aenas,
I guess it's in the code since a long time. I don't remember making changes here recently.

Kyruski,
Good idea, but it look like I will have to add some kind of priority editor.

dr_AllCOM3,
The report should scroll down automatically. At least it work on my computer. Sorting the report is a good idea too.


[e2]
0.9.2 Release notes
* Correction in the Bonus set EP module.
* Correction on Necrosis (black ice + off hand damage).
* Added sigil of Insolence as raw 100% proc chance on OB and SS.
* Added KMFrostStrike and KMHowlingBlast in the priority for Killing Machine proc.
* A new tab for a template editor (thanks to MMO-champ.)

The negative result was due to a typo. I had pressed 2 instead of 1 for 4pcT8 bonus. It didn't like that and produced bad results. User error was the reason for that problem.

When using Sigil of Virulence it keeps the 200 Str. bonus even when switching back to awarness/vengefulHeart.
