Version 10.0 works fine!
Thanks alot!!

This may not be directly related to your issues, but I have been experiencing issues similar to those pretty much since the program was released. What I found solved the issue is not using the built in template editor. If I had all the talents setup via .txt file in advance and could just select them from the drop down menu all of my errors went away and it worked flawlessly. Since you didn't mention what you were doing when the error occurred I figured I would throw in my experience in hopes it helps you out.

Sadiera · 08/10/09, 6:13 AM

I am playing with a single disease 15-56-00 build. I use the following priority:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Priority>
<FrostFever></FrostFever>
<FrostStrike></FrostStrike>
<Rime></Rime>
<Obliterate></Obliterate>
<BloodStrike></BloodStrike>
</Priority>

The problem is that I get quite a few uses of Icy Touch but I have the Howling Blast glyph. Why is Icy Touch used - at all?

Those errors don't tell me much. Did you use any files of your own or did you modify any of those included? What was your setup in the config screen?

HB has a cooldown.

We would need at least 2 RNG, because for haste calculation, it increase the number needed for white hit.

I didn't mean saving the rng results, but rather using the same seed to more or less "reset" the rng to the same state in between tests, but as you said, since haste will use a different number of whitehits, the sequence won't be the same anyway.

But read about rng seeding for whatever programming language you are using, I believe that it could help you out with the issue of different simulations not giving the same results.

You are right. I used a previous version character file, that's why I got the errors.
Thanks alot for your help!

I just tested that. Rnd is indeed producing the same sequence every time (Kahorie is using something different and more random). It wouldn't be much work to implement.

The question is now, would using the same random numbers for each EP cycle improve the result?
If yes, when should a new sequence be generated?

HB has a cooldown.

If HB is on cooldown you shouldnt have to refresh diseases yet though. (15 sec duration vs 8 sec HB CD).

My guess is that the sim does recognize that HB refreshed FF, but that it does not use HB to reapply FF. I guess it can be modeled in though.

No, if glyphed HB apply disease. There are two explenations. HB is resisted then it cast IT or there are no FU runes available when frost fever is about to fade.

On the question of the RNG, Doc if you want to implement it. I would reinitialize it every time you click on the EP button. Anyway the results could not be less accurate than they are today.

Does this tool add AP from certain Talent points?
E.g. When i try out a specc that has Bladed armor. Does this tool adds and calculates the extra AP from that talent? or do i have to add manually the extra AP in the character.xml file?
same counts for Dark Conviction.

My guess is i have to add it manually, but not sure, thats why i ask.

Afabar · 08/12/09, 6:47 AM

No the sim read your character file, modify it on the flight according to your talents and selected buffs.

Uhm, regarding that, does it calculate it assuming target is facing the player? 'Cause I also get impressively high EP on expertise.

Afabar · 08/12/09, 12:47 PM

I don't know if it's the calculation of the EP that give a too high value. The sim compare expertise cap versus exp cap - 50, not just the gain of 50 exp. So the value seems very high where a GCD means a lot.
However, I'm surpised too by the high value because other spreadsheets never gave such number. Maybe those were wrong or it is my comparison that is not appropriate.

leladax · 08/12/09, 2:51 PM

So, I'm going to assume Expertise is better than Strength 'till soft cap.
