EnhSim for Cataclysm - Page 22

I know this is dumb and prob won't get answered; but when using EnhSim when it asks for weapon dps do you put the dps listed on the weapon or he dps list in your character stat sheet?

i had a question about No'kaled in enh sim.
i see that in other top dps/bis posts, the axe procs from main hand and off hand are listed in the dmg list that enhsim puts out. but whenever i run enhsim, i dont have it showing me the axe procs.. am i missing something ?
im using v2.7.0

Keep in mind that the interaction betwen the export function of S&A and the import function of EnhSim at the moment is far from being perfect: you have to manually select the No'kaled(s), along with the set bonus(i) in the Gear detail tab of Enh sim.

hey there !

First of all, I wanted to thank you for everything you do for the community, your posts are always a pleasure to read.

So I have a question. since my first step as an enhancement shaman, I choose to follow the path of enhsim rather than simcraft. but recently a new shaman friend asked me about my reasons. and I discovered that I was not able to respond. When I see the results of both sims, I always have the feelings that enhsim is the nearest of what I can do with my characters, simcraft generaly has a gap of 1k - 1k.5 dps

Having said that, I ran the two sim on my character with the same parameters, and I see that there is a big difference between flameshock uptime. enhsim give me a 72% uptime, compared to 96% with simcraft.

am I doing something wrong in the settings ?

looking at logs, my uptime on a fight like ultraxion tend to be near 92%, and I try to use it only with unleash flame buff up

And to conclude, sorry for my bad english !

I think the problem is on how you have EnhSim setup on dealing with recasting Flame Shock. You have this currently in your config.txt file:

cast_fs_only_if_dots_left       0

Which is telling EnhSim to only recast Flame Shock after it has already fallen off. Given that it's so low down in the priority list, it's not surprising that you are having lower uptimes than you expect. I would change that value to at least 1 to give yourself at least a couple of GCD's where you can refresh the dot. Refreshing the Flame Shock dot with only one tick left should just extend that tick, so you shouldn't clip any ticks and waste potential dps. The default config.txt uses 3 for this setting without seeing any adverse effects on dps.
