Curious as to why FT/FT on fast weapons seems to be on par with the WF/FT on typical shammy weapons.

rotation_priority_count 3
rotation_priority1 MW5_LB
rotation_priority2 ES_SS
rotation_priority3 LL

There is the issue, you are only ever having the sim cast MW5_LB and LL with that rotation. Make sure to add SS, LS and SR to the rotation, something like this:

rotation_priority_count         7
rotation_priority1              SR
rotation_priority2              MW5_LB
rotation_priority3              SS
rotation_priority4              MT
rotation_priority5              ES_SS
rotation_priority6              LL
rotation_priority7              LS

This way it's using all your DPS abilities and refreshing magma totem. Should give you a much better picture of your max DPS.

Panamah · 03/02/09, 8:51 PM

Ah! Ok, I wasn't understanding all the abbreviations. I'll give that a shot.

rotation_priority_count         7
rotation_priority1              SR
rotation_priority2              MW5_LB
rotation_priority3              SS
rotation_priority4              MT
rotation_priority5              ES_SS
rotation_priority6              LL
rotation_priority7              LS

What is SR? LS is lightning shield? SS must be stormstrike but I figured I had it covered with ES_SS.

Ok, reran with your priorities and the results are nicely humbling for me.

Shamanistic Rage. Yes, LS is Lightning Shield. ES_SS if I remember right is to ES only if the SS debuff is on.

draizen · 03/03/09, 5:04 AM

es_ss is for better use of the stormstrike debuff, here my rotation

rotation_priority_count         8
rotation_priority1              SR
rotation_priority2              MW5_LB
rotation_priority3              ES_SS
rotation_priority4              SS
rotation_priority5              ES
rotation_priority6              MT
rotation_priority7              LS
rotation_priority8              LL

so if there is an stormstrike charge left on the mob, you shock before stormstrike, to get one charge "more".
leaving ES completly out of the rotation is running into a tiny dps decrease for me in several 10k test, just sim it for your own fits

Panamah · 03/03/09, 2:47 PM

Thanks for the help getting the rotation right in the sim.

I'm surprised to find I'm still getting that my two FT/FT daggers sim better than slow/slow WF/FT by about 90 dps.

1.6/1.5 FTW/FTW/FTG = 5135 (flametongue weapon, flametongue glyph)
2.6/1.5 FTW/FTW/FTG = 5027
2.6/1.5 WFW/FTW/WFG = 5042

Rouncer · 03/03/09, 5:21 PM

I wouldn't really worry about it too much. Flametongue's coefficient is going to scale with weapon speed in 3.1 and right now it's bugged on the PTR and doesn't get any spellpower from MQ. So fast weapons are going to be horrible with Flametongue in 3.1 and if the bug with MQ doesn't get fixed you won't be using FT on either of your weapon's anyway. No matter what their speed.

Ok, I won't worry. They're all I have to deal with as far as weapons anyway. Hopefully some proper shaman weapons will drop for me before 3.1 goes live!

Chrizz · 03/04/09, 11:35 AM

I'm seeing some pretty odd results when trying to sim my stats using the Greater Speed enchant to cloak, and without it. Oddly I'm consitently finding a measly 12-14 dps decrease when I sim with the cloak enchant rather than with no enchant at all. I've ran multiple sims for both scenarios, and increased the simulation time from 5000h-10000h-15000h. The results never vary by more than 2 DPS regardless of how many times I run it or how long I sim for, and the only difference between the two configs is an additional 1.46% to haste. Could anyone clue me in is to why my dps might decrease by increasing my haste rating from 2.96% to 4.42%, leaving all other stats the same?

It is called the Windfury Chasm

If you continue adding haste you will see your DPS increase. Using your config file as base:

2.96% haste - 6051
4.42% haste - 6036
4.42% haste - 6077

In the game there is too much variability from latency and from server mechanics to cause such a precise drop off. Easiest thing when you get a result like that is to put a negative number into the EP for haste and then use the EP values from that sim run to evaluate the gear/enchant.

Hi,

I have an enhancement in my guild. his gear is decent mostly 25-man naxx gear. For some reason his dps is consistently low (around 1600 dps or below). can someone take a look at our wws and tell me what he can do to improve his dps. Can a really bad connection hammer his dps that badly? I think he told us that his internet connection is terrible, is there a macro he can use to alleviate his lag issue? his id is lahja on kilrogg (us). here are a few links to our wws

Patchwerk: Patchwerk
Razuvious: Instructor Razuvious (his best dps 2800)

appreciate your help.

At first glance on your patchwerk parse it looks like he is:
1) Not dropping any totems other than Mana Spring - no SoE, no WF
2) Only doing DPS for half the fight. He used about 1 minutes worth of abilities in your almost 3 minute parse.
3) Has no imbue on his offhand or he's trying to use a 2H like an idiot
4) He isn't spell hit capped

Conclusion: He's pulling your chain, doesn't appear to have any idea what he's doing and you should probably remove him from your guild or at least not let him raid.

(Also your question had absolutely nothing to do with the topic of this thread)

He is using WF/WF and no magma / searing totem.

Hes too far from the expertise cap and hes lacking an enchant and the belt socket also. Tell him to replace his ap gems with expertise ones and start using Flametongue on his offhand.

Honestly though i doubt that will make up for the 2500 DPS hes lacking.

I'll bet you 5 bucks that he is not using any imbue on his offhand.

Also what sort of stupid spec is he using? 8/60/3? What the hell is that?
