I discovered a prob and wondered if i was wrong or the sim just not have it set right:

I have been running the sim a lot lately to get my dps to the max and man did it do wonders and want to thank the creator!

To my prob:

I noticed that the enhsim doesnt recognize the hitcap for Draenei shamans at 341, i tried to see when it will throw the EP hit value is over the cap in the info box and it was much higher then the 341, i was wondering if this was a bug or something that will be fixed so that i can get correct EP values cause i am sitting at 375 hit (14.3%) and enhsim still giving me a 4.02 EP value which i would think it totally off cause i am 34 over the cap already! My Current 16/55/0 build

Edit: on my main rig it is working like it should be and states EP Hit goes past cap with spells... but its not showing that on my laptop.. wierd

Equipping bandit's insignia seams to cause some wierd results:
arcane_resistance not found from config.
shadow_resistance not found from config.

Maybe you don't have the same raid buffs selected on your laptop?

This may have been in one of the files. But does your program calculate the DPS including Searing Totem?

Just check your config and make sure that you have all the exact same buffs selected on both, also make sure that the raid boss stats listed are the same on both computers.

(btw the exclamation point makes you look like a trolling doosh)

yeah totally the same setting, i checked them side by side

i wanted to apologize for putting a exlamation mark at the end of my sentance but i am german and I'm happy that my grammer and spelling is correct that people can understand my post.


To get back to topic: can this be right? Here is the sim i ran with my gear using a Webbed Death in my OH, which until now has gotten me the highest DPS in Sim till i ran it with a The Stray in my OH.

Top one is Webbed Death (Speed 1.4) and bottom The Stray (Speed 2.6). Now to my question is The Stray getting more DPS since it is synced with my MH being Kel'thuzad's Reach also being a 2.6?

I double checked my stats and they are right and i ran the sim set to 20000h. Like i said above i have ran many weapons and the closest to Webbed Death has been Sinister's Revenge at 4501.

You're talking about 4501 vs 4503 vs 4505. That's a difference of less than 0.1% between all 3 weapons, and is likely well within the RNG range of the sim. Those 3 setups are functionally identical for in-game dps. Use whatever weapon you can get ahold of or prefer.

Yeah i know they were really close compared to others i tested for sure, but didnt think that a 143.5, 2.6 OH would be as high as it is compared to 2 other items with quite a bit more dps (WD 156.4 and SR being 171.1)

I was just wondering how this happens? If it has something to do with the weapons being synced or something? The Angry Dead is like 30-40 less atleast, and it goes downhill from there with The Hand of Nerub, and the Split Greathammer.

Just looking to learn a lil more about my class as i run these sims like a mad man.

There is value in slower weapons, which is why a lower dps slow weapon can be similar to a higher dps fast weapon. Additionally, there has been some discussion lately that the sim is overvaluing matched weapon speeds with it's flurry simulations. I believe the discussion has been in this thread, though it might have been in the catch-all sticky thread.

Okay see thats the answer i a was looking for because it gets to be a pain to find out you get a weapon and drop beserker on it and sim was just giving wrong values, i will see if i can find that thread and read that.

Thanks a lot Skiance

I have a suggestion for the sim;

Would a "gem slot suggestion" option not be possible? have the config.txt ask for how many gem slots you have and what gems are currently in them, and then suggest any better gems for those slots, taking into account slot bonuses maybe?

thanks and keep up the good work love the sim

I know engineering has long been dismissed as a min/max profession, so I'm not surprised nobody has mentioned the PTR changes to engineering but the Hyperspeed Accelerators are (potentially) getting a huge buff in 3.0.8 and at least a minor one. The patch notes themselves say increasing the duration from 8 seconds to 10 seconds, but in game the cooldown has also been reduced to one minute instead of two. Since it's not in the notes and the tooltip still says 2 mins it may very well be a mistake, but I have a feeling it's not. I even brought some maths to back that up.

10 sec duration w/ 2 min CD gives us 340 * 10 / 120 = 28.33 effective HR (~28 item points worth), which isn't better than hit or exp if not capped and may or may not be better than 44 AP if you are.

Take the LW wrist enchants for example, 114AP is 57 item points worth, obviously much better than the other wrist options.

If the current PTR changes stick though and the CD is reduced to one minute you're looking at 340 * 10 / 60 = 56.66 HR (~57 item points worth) which puts it on par with the LWing enchant item point wise and unless your hit EP is way overblown from being way below the cap, would become the best wrist enchant by far. Even if hit was rated at 4EP and haste at 1.5EP, the accelerators would still be marginally better. Since most other professions personal enchants are in the ~50-60 item point range, or 20-25 points over the comparable enchant, this puts engineering on equal ground with the other professions as far as its apparent intended value.

Add to that the fact that it's burst haste and the EP can be even higher. Still off GCD and does not trigger the mini trinket CD that prevents dual trinket usage, so you can trinket at the same time.

Would it be possible to get this added to the sim to evaluate how good (or bad) it possibly is.

Another (hopefully simple) sim request, could you have the simulator set the processing threads to below normal or idle priority so it doesn't bog down the PC any more than it has to.

Its this thread, posts by me, about 50 posts back or so? The sim is broken sightly because it wrongly gives you 4 flurry charges with matched speeds. This does not really happen.

We don't use words like that...St. Louise is listening!

I've found that matched weapon speeds gives higher flurry uptime in game which matches what the sim does. You have to ensure that the weapons are synced however to see this higher uptime.

So best would be starting with a macro like this one below? i heard thats how people sync weapons, havent had any same speed weapons in forever.

/cast Earth Shock
/startattack

That'll work. You just have to start your attack a couple seconds before you're in range of the target.

I seem to recall having read in the old old enha shaman thread that opening with stormstrike should do the trick as well? Because you hit with both weapons and autoattack resumes from there.

You are assuming that stormstrike is not on cooldown. I use:

/cast stormstrike
/startattack

It makes it easy to auto-target on trash and you don't have to waste white hits and procs while you wait for SS to come off of cooldown.

Ye, use a /startattack macro for SS and LL both, so I can mash anything to start attacking. Point was just that you don't need to stand back and have autoattack going before approaching, say, Patchwerk. You just open with SS. Anyway, just wanted to have it confirmed that SS achieved the same result, as it is the approach I've been using.

I had a quick question. When I run Enhism it adds FS and LVB into the rotation. I'm curious how to take that out. This is what my rotation specifications are

mh_auto_attack 1
oh_auto_attack 1
wait_ss_with_wf_cd 0
cast_ll_only_if_wf_on_cd 0
bloodlust_casters 2
sync_bloodlust_with_trinkets 0
cast_lvb_only_if_ed_left 15
cast_lvb_only_if_fsdots_left 4
cast_lvb_only_if_fs_active 1
cast_fs_only_if_dots_left 0
cast_ls_only_if_charges_left 1
cast_sr_only_if_mana_left 700
use_mana_potion_if_mana_left 3000

rotation_priority_count 6
rotation_priority1 MW5_LB
rotation_priority2 SS
rotation_priority3 ES
rotation_priority4 LL
rotation_priority5 LS
rotation_priority6 SR

yet it still includes LVB and FS into my rotation, curious as how to get that to edit out.

Now i might understand wrong, but the rotation part determines what skills are used. I would recommend rising SR to first priority btw.

Error when trying to import data

I am trying to run enhsim from values exported by Shockandawe but when I load the file (I use wordpad to save the export data as a txt file and wordpad tells me that formatting will be lost as I am saving it as a txt file) I get this error message.

See the end of this message for details on invoking 
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

The export part is only your character setup, upper part is still same as in normal config file. I am guessing your config file only has SAA export part?

You're missing 90% of the config file, the SAA export stuff isn't meant to replace the entire file, its just the last bit at the bottom of it.
