1.0.3 Release notes
* Proc Trinket implementation
* Better glyph of disease support

Test need to be done on trinkets support, but I think the hard work is done.
The GoDisease seems to me close to be finalize.

I've developed a wow addon that provides char details like your simulator needs.

DKSimulatorStats

Fully automatic, but not very intensive testing.
Removes any strength and armor bonus from your current talents.
Just equip your gear, remove any buffs and type /dksim. Copy & paste on the simulator.




Enjoy!

^ It works accurately for the latest version of the simulator for me.

It may be that it undervalues hit compared to expertise because you're so close to the hit cap (4 hit rating low). Without being completely sure I believe the simulator calculates the EP by first running a simulation with your current stats (the dry run) and then it raises 1 skill at a time by a certain amount and runs the simulation again and checks the difference to see how effective it is to raise the given stat. If the simulator raises hit by more than 4 to see how effective it is, you get above the cap meaning you will get skewed results as a lot of the hit will not be working towards your melee hits.

Again, I'm not sure exactly how it is done but this could be an explanation

Regarding the simulator, how does the <ChaoticSkyflareDiamond> tag work? does it simply apply the 3% crit damage bonus so that you can use this tag as well when using Relentless Earthsiege Diamond which has been proven to be superior now that JC gems no longer fulfil meta requirements?

For EP stat, Hit and Expertise are set to melee cap except for hit and expertise calculation.
CSD is only the 3% crit damage.


Nice initiative. And yes, to make it correct you should remove the strength from:
Veteran of the Third War - Spell - World of Warcraft
Abomination's Might - Spell - World of Warcraft
Ravenous Dead - Spell - World of Warcraft

Also, I wonder if this simulator automatically adds the 10% ArP from Blood tree, which does not show in the character panel.

Yes, because you have to enter your Arp rating.
Edit: I meant yes

I have another suggestion for the report display. Can you add another collum with dps values for each ability?

On Trinkets with hit rating: Is their EP based on melee special hit? In that case, in various setups it may be impossible to not overcap making their value considerably lower. A complex selection menu about them or multiple output about them could be useful. On the other hand, it wouldn't be that bad if the EP was only based on their proc and ignored the base increase in stats since then adding the base stat's increase manually would be straightforward. Many options there.

Trinket EP value is only the proc value without the "on equip" stats.

Small update with trinket fixes. I didn't change the version number.

A question to the simulator: When you have "on use" trinkets like Wrathstone that gives 850ish AP for 20 secs should you just normalize this AP and add it to your character's AP or is there some other way of adding this?

No, for the moment it's the only solution. I don't plan add "on use" trinket for now. It's a lot of work for not too much added value.

I'm curious how you simulate the RP generation of Scent of Blood for dps purposes?

I'd suggest, if in Frost Presence, you would assume it has a 15% chance every 2 seconds (ie. average boss swing speed).

Also, wonder if you apply the Frost Presence armour multiplier to the character xml's armour value before evaluating the benefit of Bladed Armour talent?

1.0.4 Release notes

* Arp was wrong in two ways

ArmorPenetrationRating was totally wrong. The rating was 1539 instead of 15.39.
You should do your EP again .

E.g.:

EP:50	AttackPower	100
EP:50	Strength	284
EP:50	ArmorPenetrationRating	294
	Template	Blood 51-0-20

I've noticed the same thing in my EP parses. DryRun, Exp, and Hit are all the same. Which shouldn't be the case as I'm below exp softcap atm and just under spell-hit cap.

Download from front page still says 1.0.3 Is there somewhere else we can get the latest binary? Or did someone forget to bump the version number?

Doc did not bump version number.

It's just a display issue. The internal value are correct.

Is there anything I need to do to the Blood Priority file to get Glyph of Disease to calculate properly?

I'm getting very high EP values for haste. I don't see how they can be correct. I saw the discussion about how haste lowers spell GCD, which helps if you are GCD capped, but I am definitely not GCD capped as 3/13/55. Using the gear/spec I'm using on the armory, I'm getting the following values from a 1000 hour sim:

EP:50 | AttackPower | 100
EP:50 | Strength | 300
EP:50 | Agility | 103
EP:50 | CritRating | 161
EP:50 | HasteRating | 235
EP:50 | ArmorPenetrationRating | 190
EP:50 | ExpertiseRating | 229
EP:50 | HitRating | 351
EP:50 | SpellHitRating | 138
EP:10 | WeaponDPS | 661
EP:0.1 | WeaponSpeed | 25806
EP: | 2T8 | 10483
EP: | 4T8 | 15806
EP: | 2T9 | 32903
EP: | 4T9 | 65483
| Template | Unholy Oblit 3-13-55
| Priority | Unholy Oblit
| Presence | Blood
| Sigil | Virulence
| RuneEnchant | FallenCrusader
| Pet Calculation | True

Other than the extremely high t9 set bonus values (are they really that good? wow), nothing else looks out of line except haste. It just seems very odd to me that haste went from being a pretty "meh" stat to being good enough to want to stack it.
