Ah! I thought that we should not use any buff when running the simulator. And yes, the talent is wrong. But just to verify, when running the simulator we should put on every buffs available right?

Thanks,

The sim factors in how all the specified buffs affect your base stats and then figures out your DPS from there.

Thanks,
You should put into the sim every buff that you are going to have available. The idea is to "simulate" real conditions so that you can maximize your performance.

You are also not using MT (magma totem) in your rotation and use ES or ES_SS not both.

I know i'm playing with fire posting this again but i fear my post was overshadowed by the hit/exp values conversation and wasnt read.If anyone can figure out what i'm doing wrong and getting only 1.5k dps i will be gratefull.The only thing i have noticed is that it is adding LvB and FS in the rotation for some reason i can't explain.This is my config:

did you untick FS and LvB and, just to be sure, move it down in the list?

Solema, just to be sure. Are you renaming the config file when you enter your stats/rotation or are you using the gui?

If you are renaming the config, make sure the sim is running with the correct config file. Your output looks exactly like what the default config gives, so your probably not using the correct file name.

If you edit 'start_simulation' and is shows this:

enhsim.exe config.txt output=output.txt
then make sure to change 'config.txt' to the name of your altered config file.

For example, when I run the sim I create my config file called 'config-enh.txt'. Since this is the name of the config I want the sim to use, I have the following in the 'start_simulation' batch file:

enhsim.exe config-enh.txt output=output.txt

Sorry if this is a bit offtopic, but I'm getting some weird results from the sim, specifically The Stray I just picked up, unenchanted, is simming higher than my split greathammer with mongoose? I understand the Stray WILL be good in 3.1 ( possibly the best pre-ulduar? ).. but I can't understand why it's simming so well for me right now

Stray gives additional Flurry uptime if your weapons are synced in speed. This does occur in the game but not 100% of the time (there was discussion on it earlier in the thread) but seems to have a much higher percentage in the sim.

Easy workaround is to set one of your weapons to 2.59 or 2.61 and rerun the Sim, but just keep in mind that it is a real phenomenon provided you can keep the weapons synced.

Suggestion for Rawr integration

Tukez now I have the Rawr.Enhance module exporting the config data in a format suitable for EnhSim I was wondering if you would consider implementing a feature for EnhSimGui. The feature is quite simple - Read config from Clipboard.

This would basically read the clipboard contents and apply it to the currently loaded gui config. This would mean that both Rawr & ShockAndAwe exports would be a whole lot simpler - copy to clipboard in ShockAndAwe or Rawr and click a button in EnhSimGui to import config.

I'd happily modify the exports so that for instance there was a tagline identifier on the first line so you could test the validity of what was in the clipboard from the outset.

The idea is that you could have Rawr & EnhSim side by side - play around with gear in Rawr - click export in Rawr, click import in EnhSimGui - click Run Simulation. Very simple very quick and would allow much faster turn around trying out things in the sim.

Please use the EnhSim by Ziff & others to simulate what gear, priorities etc are the best dps. You can use ShockAndAwe to export your paperdoll stats to EnhSim.

I just started using EnhSim and I seem to be getting some strange DPS calculations If I equip Fury of the Five Flights the sim comes up with 6277 DPS but if I dont equip any trinket for that slot and add 320 AP to my base stats I only get 6210 DPS from the sim. This seems very wrong to me I would think that Fury of the Five Flights would have a slightly lower DPS due to its warm-up period. Does anyone know if this trinket is bugged or if I am doing something wrong? This is for a 20000 hr sim so I dont think that could be the issue.

Edit: Thanks for the help

Bet you forgot to increase your spellpower by (320*.3) 96 to account for MQ.

Your DPS should be almost the exact same for both once your add in the spellpower if you're running a 20000 hr sim.

Would it be possible to add [Tears of Bitter Anguish] to the trinket list for future builds of EnhSim?
