As much as I hate Hat playstyle, the simulationcraft may be the best way to model it. True, it depends on external crits, but simulationcraft, doing the "real" hits and crits, can pretty much define the best environment for a HaT rogue. For spec... dunno, I raided with something like Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft before

The main current limitation of modeling HAT I can see would be that a SimulationCraft for each class in your party would need to be available and working.

We're about to release an alpha version of Hunter so I'll be testing with:

Combat Rogue
Assassination Rogue
Subtlety Rogue
Survival Hunter
Beastmaster Hunter

I'm working with this quote from GC:

I will add that some players have wondered if Honor Among Thieves is bugged since the cp can occur more often than 1 sec. In this case, the tooltip is just unclear. When Jimmy the Shaman crits, he cannnot "send you" a combo point more often than 1 per sec. But if you have lots of players critting all the time, you can build them up quickly. So Honor is (here it comes) working as intended.

I hope it is still current..... I'm also assuming that non-guardian pets can trigger the effect.

Both assumptions are correct.

Okay...... My 3xRogue+2xHunter setup seems retarded.....

I'm finding it best for the HAT Rogue to just stinking sit there and wait for combo points...... Sinister Strike and Hemo are just a waste of energy.

Is HAT combo point generation being throttled in any other way than: "One player cannot give more than one combo point per second." ?

chalon · 01/26/09, 7:17 PM

No.

Yeah, you shouldn't SS or Hemo at all. Just keep up SnD, keep up Rupture, then spam Eviscerate.

You just figured out why many rogues dont want to spec HaT even though it might be their highest DPS Spec... but this might get offtopic fast.
And yes, thats the only limitation since they fixed the "1cp per crit per rogue".
I want to give you a thumbs up to the work you have done so far though

Major bug fix in "finisher" mechanics..... Damage distribution starting to look better...... just low.

Something's still wrong in the realm of finishers, at least for Mutilate; Relentless Strikes regen is way low relative to Focused Attacks, and 6% envenom damage seems low as well (~9-10% is more typical). For that matter, yellow damage as a whole is low; you have 44% white and 18% Mutilate, when 38-40% and 22% are more typical for those numbers (at least for me)

Also, I could be reading this wrong, but it looks to me as though Instant and Wound poisons aren't critting, and they should be. Plus, Deadly Poison damage seems high, though that might tie into the finisher thing - fewer Envenoms would mean more DP damage.

path411 · 01/27/09, 12:16 AM

Edit: I just realized something stupid in my post, but I have a different point.

As Aldriana stated, your finishers are very low, especially envenoms, I managed to have 15 envenoms in my last patchwerk, which should be roughly half of the length of the fight in the simcraft. (If I'm correct in remembering you were basing off a 300s boss)

For your HAT modeling, when using 2 fast it will be better to use double wound. As well, 3 rogues in your group is normally subpar, dks are normally what you want to fill when you don't have hunters.

Punscho · 01/27/09, 1:58 AM

Not to my knowledge. And yes, HAT rogues just spam finishers.

Loot · 01/27/09, 4:34 AM

A glance at the code, just random search, not inspected it, found this...
if( p -> buffs_poison_doses )
{
player_multiplier *= 1.0 + p -> talents.savage_combat * 0.01;
player_crit += p -> talents.master_poisoner * 0.01;
}
That made me wonder how you handle such overlapping raid buffs, something like external config on the buffs present? Because for example 3% crit is kinda expected (retradin, ele) to be present, and if it is enabled from outside, this code will just double its value for the player, or I'm totally wrong :p

I'll look into the poison crits.... Good catch, thanks!

I also need to dive into my energy regen modeling..... The speed of combo-point generation seems off considering the discrepancy in finisher-frequency. There is a "proc" section where I list "combo points per second". Does that seem off?

This particular run had 3xRogue and 2xHunter in one party. I'm afraid I haven't started working on DKs yet....... Rogue model still needs some lovin obviously......

I didn't realize that Master Poisoner did not overlap with the 5% from Shaman/Boomkin....... ?

action -> attack -> rogue_attack -> special/melee
action -> spell -> rogue_poison -> wound/instant/deadly

Each one of those classes have a player_buff() and a target_debuff() method that cascade. The 3% crit should be included.

Boomkin ? Just to be clear, Master Poisoner does not stack with a Paladin's Heart of the Crusader and an Elemental Shaman's Totem of Wrath. They fall under the same buff/debuff category under Blizzard's new buff system and those 3 don't stack.

PessimiStick · 01/27/09, 9:42 AM

From looking at the latest set of data, I agree with Aldriana that the breakdowns are still a bit off. The same can be said for the HAT numbers, my Evisc/White are generally 50-55/30-35 or somewhere around there.

Also, from the uptime section it seems that either there needs to be some additional logic for the action list that checks energy remaining, or the sim is going to have a tough time modeling Mut. Anything less than 100% HfB uptime is really unacceptable due to the penalty you take for dropping it, and the same for SnD.
