Sounds like I didn't do enough testing..... I just used a few Mage files I found..... PM me your config files and I'll work on it tonight.

Has the moonkin 2t9 and 4t9 bonuses been modeled properly yet?

Yes,
Moonkin Raiding
has some runs with different setbonuses

Well I meant it more with the intention of seeing how the benefit I get from focus magic changes from 4t8 to 2t8+2t9.

I imported a copy of my character from rawr wearing the tier 9 head and chest and noticed that it didn't add the line for enabling the tier bonus. So I added the line "# tier9_2pc=1" myself and I still wasn't showing moonfire ticks critting at all. Is there something I'm missing?

Ah, now I get what you mean, yea there was a problem with the horde name of setpieces.
"#" starts a comment, the parser will skip it, those lines at the end are more a sanity check to see if something got not parsed correctly. Just do

tier9_2pc=1

Sorry, was my fault, it is fixed in the next release (3131 was the revision I fixed the wrong name of horde druid T9)

Ah, so the line "# tier8_2pc=1" in the config file normally if you have 2t8 is more for the reader and the sim itself actually reads the set bonuses off of the gear listed?

Also, I'm finding I'm having a problem running the rawr import with focus magic on it, but when I take focus magic off of that one it runs fine.

The stuff preceded by #'s are all comments. Essentially, you could replace all the slot=xxx lines with the stuff in comments and get the same result.

If you run into any problems with the sim, please feel free to open an Issue at the site.

Is lag still included in the calculation?

I haven't looked at the Simcraft stuff in a while, but I remember that when I looked at it several months ago the Lag factor had a value of around 2.0 when I ran the SCALE_FACTORS.BAT. When I ran it to day it is coming up with a value of 0.00.

It is quite possible that I don't understand what the factors mean, but I thought the Factors indicated how your DPS is affected by the addition of more stats or in this case Lag. Since we all know that Lag does have an impact on DPS I am a little confused by this result. Can anyone explain it to me?

Thank you for the help.

Latency still is (and always will be) a key part of the simulator. What was changed was that we no longer calculate scale factors for latency by default, which results in a value of zero.

I've added Cat and Moonkin T9 BiS profiles to SimulationCraft.

*Disclaimer*: I do not play a Druid. I am not a Druid theorycrafter.

Notes:

1) For the feral profile I used the Alliance profile given here: http://elitistjerks.com/f73/t63774-c...guide_dummies/. I didn't try experimenting too much with different items so it's of course possible that it's not ideal. For professions I chose BS/JC.

2) For the moonkin profile I couldn't find a pre-existing BiS list but I used the information here: http://elitistjerks.com/f73/t59457-m...updated_3_2_a/
I *did* experiment a bit with different items and combinations for these profiles. I compared a various different gem choices, trinket choices, weapon choices etc.

3) I ended up creating 2 Moonkin profiles.
One uses 2pc T8 + 2pc T9. This one I gemmed yellow sockets with sp/haste because it was simming for more than sp/crit. I'm not sure if my choice of which slots to use T8 is optimal or not.

The other profile uses 4pc T9. Unlike the 2+2 profile I saw no gain gemming sp/haste in yellow sockets.

The 4pc T9 profile is slightly better than the 2pc T8 + 2pc T9 profile.

Here is Druid_T9.simcraft which is used to generate the profiles:

#!simcraft

The feral cycles are due for some revising-- the ideal cycles I'm sure have changed since T7 and the change of shred glyph, and what's in there wasn't ideal for the time it was being used. Also, given the ridiculous amount of crit we can acquire, there's a lot more combo points out there than there used to be.

Any recommendations?

Well, I think there should be an action for Shred above the last 4 (above Rip) if Rip has less than 4 seconds left and if Shred has not already been used at least three times since the last time Rip was cast. I'm guessing one would have to implement some sort of a counter. (That's the Shred glyph.)

An aside, I think a majority of cats probably use Hearty Rhino instead of Blackened Dragonfin, depending whether they're agi-gemmed or ArP-gemmed.

Edit: There should also be an action to shred on any clearcasting proc, not just Omen of Clarity. If the 2pT8 set bonus is implemented as Omen of Clarity somehow it'd be fine, but the buff the set bonus grants is simply named Clearcasting (which actually is the name of the buff Omen of Clarity gives as well).

2pT8 / OoC support overlap: That conditional will work for both.

I added an extend_rip=1 conditional to Shred and experimented moving it around..... but I could not increase DPS. There seemed to be no real advantage of explicitly planning for this since it was happening naturally.

I had to create a rather hard movement scenario in order for the extra shred conditional to help:

raid_events=movement,cooldown=30,cooldown_stddev=3,duration=10

I can't work out the recommendations right now, as I'm posting from work; I'll have to sit down for a little bit.

The last time I looked at the shred profile, it benefitted from waiting for energy before shredding; so the last line would change into the following block:

/shred,rip>=2
/shred,cp<=5,rip<=2
/shred,energy>=80

Doing something like this increased DPS at the T7 level, and probably still does now; but I think it'll require the extend_rip=1 flag.

Note that this didn't work for the mangle profile as it is generally energy-deprived and doesn't have any opportunity to pool energy.
