Here is the result I get with a shorter simulation. Can you send me your character and priority file by PM?
Edit: Did you had Draenei buff applied? It look like it mess up the EP calculation. I'll create a protection to not take it into account on EP mode.

No, the 1.0.5 download works fine, but when you download the primary link of just "Kahorie's DK Simulator" the program is still 1.0.3.1 for me, regardless of cache or computer / browser, so I was just asking for the side link to a direct 1.0.6 download as that is what works for me.

I could add on the OP the specific link to the version, but when Doc want to create a new release, he won't be able to modify the OP.
It's very strange anyway that some people report to me that they download the 1.0.3.1 version, but when I test I always get the current.

I bet they just do something wrong . Even if that's next to impossible. Just leave it as it is. It's very clean and professional at the moment.

Ill throw this out here as a possible avenue to explore at some point. Have you considered changing the simulator to run instead as a series of many short fights, instead of a single long one? User selectable number of minutes per fight, and user selectable number fights.

Result is an overall average, a graph where fights are grouped in a user selectable range of DPS values (ie fights with DPS greater then 7000 and less then or equal to 7010 are counted, and the number of sim runs that fell in this range are graphed) and an optional text file dump with all DPS results listed.

Major structural change to the sim, but it would give the sim users to better explore the type of DPS effects changes in spec and gear make.

Reset the fight every x min is not very complex. It's just the reporting that would require a lot of work if you want to easily analize results.
One day I thought that sim could generate wow like combat logs to upload them in WWS but it don't accept multiple day parses so I didn't try to implement it. I admit also that I don't have a lot of experience on the subject.

Before everything else, i would like to thank you all for the great work on this simulator.

I tested a lot the dps of a blood dk in different bis TotC gear set, but something is annoying me : the ghoul seems to do far too much dps for a blood dk.

If i plug my current toon's stats into the simulator and run a 500 hours simulation, i get the current result :
12699.51 millions damage in 500h, which is 7055dps
The ghoul did 303309981 damage, which is 168,5dps, 2.388% of the total.
168.5 average dps for a ghoul without any buff like BoK, BoM, MotW and have at best 25% uptime ? and without Glyph of the Ghoul ?

From the simulator the ghoul's average hit is 768.6 (melee + claw).
Live reports show that it's more like 400 per melee hit and 600-630 per claw, with a critrate < 5%. There is more than 2 melee for 1 claw, so the average per land is roughly 450 which is 40% less than in the simulator.
So I think the ghoul calculation is a little off.

For the features that would be really great to have, i propose :
- a way to set the ghoul average survival time. 50% would mean 30s survival in blood instead of the 1mn, so a 12.5% uptime at best.
- a way to tell that Crypt Fever is on the target. I tried to activate it by modifying the template xml, but it increases every strike damage because it considers that it's a third desease.

1.0.7 Release notes
* GoDisease: IT/PS is recasted at higher AP.
* Correction for the hit of the ghoul (problem since 1.0.6).
* Draenei buff is disabled for EP calculation.

DK simulator 1.0.7.0

About the download problem, I think I have reproduce the problem. When I select "open with" instead of "save as", Winzip open an old version from it's cache.

I've noticed a few things with GoD. In my blood spec runs with GoD, I noticed that IT was cast more often than PS. At first I thought that it could have been because when it cast pestilence, FF had fallen off while BP was still on and thus BP was refreshed and IT was recast. In a 10h sim PS was cast 10 times while IT was 22 times. Then I tried to run a 100h sim to see if the numbers were increased, they did not however. In the 100h sim PS was still cast 10 times and IT 22 times. I'm at a loss as to how this is occurring.

Next issue, Using a 0/17/54 unholy build with 1/2 epidemic, 2/2 IUP, and 2/5 desolation. I ran the sim with 150 ms of latency and got 7197 DPS. I ran it again this time with 300ms and got 7199 DPS. I'm not sure that makes sense. How can increasing latency be more dps than a lower latency, ever?

[edit] this was all done with v 1.0.7.0

I've noticed an issue with EP results and simulations. When I run a EP test on my current gear I get results that put hit<8% as a higher weighting than STR. If I change out a STR gem for a hit gem, such as the yellow socket in my pants, I can lose 34 STR and gain 40 hit. Then if I run a simulation my DPS is actually lower. If I rerun the EP test with the new values, it still gives a higher weighting to hit<8%.

One thing that may affect the tests is that for DW, 5% is the cap for special attacks, so after 5% you'd really be looking at the >=8% weighting (which was less than the STR weighting) which makes sense for the decreased DPS. However I'm unable to find an explanation for why hit<8% gets such a high weighting when it actually lowers my DPS.

Also, I'm not sure why I have an exp weighting that's about equal to my STR. I'm exp capped, and the way I think the simulator runs is that it adds 50 to a value to see how your DPS increases to get a weighting for that value. If I'm exp capped, why would adding exp increase my DPS any (unless the simulator spends time calculating attacking a boss from the front, in which case increased exp is a factor in reducing parries)?

How the EP calculation is made:

1/ The dry run is a modified version of your character sheet. It put it at physical hit cap and expertise cap. And launch the dry run to have my base DPS.
2/ It run a sim adding (EP base x 2) to the attack power to have my AP DPS.
3/ For Strength, Agi, Crit, ArP and so on, it add the EP base to the current stat.
4/ For Hit rating and Expertise, it remove the EP base to the stat to check how much it reduce the dps.
5/ For spell hit, it's the same as for strength.
