Anyway, one thing is bothering me, and it is that, isn't a fast weapon "better" than a slow weapon with equal dps/stats and whatever?

(I'm kinda new to this so correct my flaws, might've missed something etc.) Would be glad with a response!
Keep up the good work, cheers!

Enhsim tells me that including MW4_LB and MW3_LB in the priority list improves my dps. The enhancement TTT says that casting with less than 5 stacks resets the swing timer. Since these seem to be at odds, I wanted to test this out.

I took a 2 handed weapon 3.58 speed (including my haste) to make testing the mechanic easier. I have about 200ms latency. My lightning bolt has a 2.42 second cast time according to the tooltip.

Here are a few examples from the combatlog.
0 maelstrom -- 9.407 between swings, 3.4 seconds between spell damage and swing.
12/16 13:30:45.798 SWING_DAMAGE

12/16 13:29:53.839 SPELL_DAMAGE,"Lightning Bolt"
12/16 13:29:54.090 SWING_DAMAGE
4 maelstrom -- 7.31 seconds between swings (I timed the cast to clip the weapon swing)
12/16 14:58:14.949 SWING_DAMAGE
12/16 14:58:15.854 SPELL_AURA_APPLIED_DOSE,"Maelstrom Weapon",0x1,BUFF,4
12/16 14:58:17.044 SPELL_CAST_START"Lightning Bolt"
12/16 14:58:18.681 SPELL_AURA_REMOVED,"Maelstrom Weapon",0x1,BUFF
12/16 14:58:18.991 SPELL_DAMAGE,"Lightning Bolt"
12/16 14:58:22.259 SWING_DAMAGE
Conclusions:
  • With 0 stacks of MW, the swing timer gets reset when you cast a spell.
  • With 1+ stacks of MW, the swing timer continues to run, and can clip weapon swings (much like the old warrior slam mechanic)
  • With 5 stacks of MW, the spell cast is instant so it doesn't interact with the swing.

Then I checked enhsim to see what mechanic it uses:
1 maelstrom -- 5.5 seconds between swings
0h 0m 0s MH crit 1896.49
0h 0m 0s Maelstrom Weapon stacks (1)
0h 0m 0.19s Casting started
0h 0m 1.91s Global cooldown off
0h 0m 2.12s Lightning Bolt hit 1827.39
0h 0m 5.5s MH glancing 684.968
2 maelstrom -- 5.01 seconds between swings
0h 0m 7.14s MH crit 2015.76
0h 0m 7.14s Maelstrom Weapon stacks (2)
0h 0m 7.33s Casting started
0h 0m 8.77s Lightning Bolt crit 3401.82
0h 0m 9.05s Global cooldown off
0h 0m 12.15s MH crit 2015.76
Looks like Enhsim pauses the swing timer during casts with MW stacks. It's hard to say which way this would bias rotations which use MW4_LB and MW3_LB. It would be nice if someone could try to reproduce what I'm seeing in my combatlog.

I've reported this a few times and even pmed Toots about the error.

I didn't get the clipping you are seeing with my testing on the Beta server though.

They changed the slam mechanism and I assumed they used the same one for MW especially since it worked that way for me.

Basically it just pauses the swing timer when you try to cast a spell with even a single stack of MW. It's not really possible to clip it since it should just be pausing the timer.

Try this test - wait 2 seconds after a swing hit and then start your cast with only 1-2 stacks of MW so that the cast time definitely clips the swing timer. You will see the spell cast and then the swing hit right after as if it was paused during the cast.

That was what I saw when I did the testing and that was what I reported back then. If it is clipping the swing timer when they both would go off exactly at the same time then it is something that definitely needs more testing.

Is it actually pausing the swing timer for stacks 1-4? If so then the wiki article is definitely worded wrong, as right now I have it stating that it completely resets it.

from my experience and testing it pauses it, not reset.

Look at my 4 maelstrom case. It looks like it's clipping. I'll retest to confirm for other maelstrom stacks timed to clip.

Even if it can clip, and I think that is something else since I was intentionally trying to clip with only a 1-2 stack when I did my original testing, it is still irrelevant to Malan's question.

It pauses the swing timer since if it reset it then there wouldn't be any question of clipping or not.

If you try to cast a spell without any stacks of MW the swing timer is reset completely, even if the cast was quick quick enough to fit inside a single swing of your weapon. That isn't what is happening with even a single stack of MW so the wiki needs to be updated.

Here is a MW2_LB clipping the swing.
12/16 22:49:55.388 SWING_DAMAGE
12/16 22:49:55.940 SPELL_AURA_APPLIED_DOSE,"Maelstrom Weapon",0x1,BUFF,2
12/16 22:49:57.774 SPELL_CAST_START,"Lightning Bolt",0x8
12/16 22:49:59.388 SPELL_AURA_REMOVED,"Maelstrom Weapon",0x1,BUFF
12/16 22:49:59.698 SPELL_DAMAGE,"Lightning Bolt"
12/16 22:50:02.665 SWING_DAMAGE
From my paper doll I have a 3.52 second swing. From the tooltip for LB, Maelstrom Weapon x2 gives a 1.43 cast time.

If the swing timer is pausing the time between swings should be 3.52 + 1.43 = 4.95.
If the swing timer is clipping the time between swing should be 3.52*2 = 7.04.

The measured time between swings from the combatlog is 7.277. This fits with all the other data I've collected where the swing is not delayed if you can fit the cast in between swings, but you get a big delay if the cast falls on a swing.

I started testing with the purpose of either proving you wrong or figuring out where I went wrong and instead I found something really interesting and a bit strange.

Try this out.

Hop on the PTR and remove all your talents.
Go over to the Targeting Dummy with your slow 2-hander.
Start autoattack.
Cast a Lava Burst right after a swing so that it should be able to fit inside the swingtimer.
Notice that your swingtimer reset.

Spec talents so that you have at least 1 point in MW.
Try the same thing again, using Lava Burst and without any charges of MW.
Notice that the Swingtimer doesn't reset if the cast fits inside the swing time.
Doesn't matter if you have charges of MW or even what spell you use.

It's not the charges that determine if the swingtimer resets it's whether you specced the talent or not.

The swingtimer does reset if it gets clipped though, you are right about that part. Something changed between my initial testing and now. I did the testing back when Lava Burst was usable with MW, before it would work with heals and before the charges were gained through the PPM mechanic so I guess they just coded the whole thing differently from how it worked when I initially tested it (either that or I just suck at testing, which is a distinct possibility).

This would mean, that the chance of a MW_4 LB reseting our swing timer is rather low if you use two slow weapons and that probably using MW with 4 charges could result in an dps increase over today's MW_5 LB priority.

I'm actually thinking that could be wrong but I'm not sure how to model it. If either weapon tries to swing before the cast is complete the swingtimers for both should be reset. Whether the chance of them being reset is going to be a dps decrease is a question I'll leave to the smarter members of our community to answer.

MAc Update

I'd like to see a mac update for the new consumables and such, or is there a way to edit it to update it?

I downloaded the newest windows one, and moved the new source files into the mac ones, but it didn't do anything (i don't know anything about MAc coding, just thought it might work.)

The best thing would be to update the code of the simulator with your findings.

Yah you can't just do that, once the binary is compiled it no longer references the source files. You'll have to recompile on OS X every time Tukez puts out a new version, and he hasn't done so since the 1.50 release that he included some changes so that OS X can compile it properly.

You can't just blank out the values, tukez has a specific format to indicate a zero or null value. You need to either use a 0 or a - to indicate these things. Check the annotated config file for the full list of what options you can use.

The other thing is that you only set it to 1 degree of precision for the EP values, up it to 3 degrees and the results will look better.

The EP values I get are:


ap            1.00
crit          1.62
hit           3.10
expertise     0.00
(capped)
haste         1.57
armor pen     1.22
Mh dps        7.24
oh dps        2.76
strength      1.10
agility       1.79
int           1.37 

For the most part, those seem right to me, what is bugging me is agility has a higher value then crit, is there something I am doing wrong or is the simulator correct ? I turned off Mana simulation because it always kept giving me 5.0 for intellect.

You don't have an imbue on your off-hand. Add that and it will increase the value of crit substantially since FT can crit, but agi won't up that.

Elemental Shaman: You're OOM.
Enhancement Shaman: So are you.

I've tried putting in Elixir of Expertise, Elixir of Mighty Thought, Snapper Extreme, and Flask of Endless Rage. All say it couldn't be found for me.

Please tell me that you aren't actually typing "Flask of Endless Rage" into the config file.
