First of all, thank you very very much for this tool.

I'm really new to enhancement.
Tonight, I tried to respec enh for some tries, and it worked surprisingly very very well !
WoW Meter Online - XT-002 Deconstructor 25 down (XT-002 Deconstructor down for instance).

This was my very first raid as enhancement, and even more my first raid ever as a melee
I'm a little bit lower geared also than my teammates with this spec. Armory should work.

In order to improve a little bit my DPS I tried EnhSim, version 1.6.8.
I got some strange results, si I'd like a confirmation if possible

I used my current stuff, with [Crimson Steel] in MH (cheap 50 Ap on it)

########### //To understand the EP ranges you have to understand how EP values are calculated. 
#EP RANGES# //For example, to calculate EP value of crit rating, first I simulate the normal "baseline" dps.
########### //Then I simulate dps with increased crit rating. I take the dps difference and divide it by the
//increased crit rating to get dps/crit rating value. EP range means how much crit rating did I increase.

//Watch the expertise and hit caps. For example if expertise goes over the cap resulting from too high EP
//range, the EP value will go lower than it should be. On the other hand, if you give too low EP ranges,
//you won't get accurate results. Best scenario is low EP ranges and high simulation time.

//If hit/spellhit or expertise is already over the cap, test will be skipped. Although you can
//give negative ep range to see how much EP is hit/expertise worth to have. To skip a test, use 0 as range.

//Which stat is used as baseline stat, meaning it gets EP value of 1. This is important when calculating EP values.

I've laready noticed that some of my elemental items ([Wyrmrest Necklace of Power], [Signet of Manifested Pain], [Dying Curse]) gave me better results than the enhancement items ilvl 200 or even 213 sometime.
So, these are parts of my standard enhancement set for the moment.

But a few minutes ago, I tried a crazy thing, replace my ilvl200 MH with my elemental MH: [Wraith Strike] enchanted 63 spell power.
Only 90 DPS vs 143.

So, is this possible for you ? (or did you see any mistake in my configuration file maybe?)

I know there's 13 more ilvls with Wraith strike, but still, I feel a little bit weird the idea to use a 90 DPS MH in raid as an enhancement

I don't undesrtand the high haste rating value.

White melee represents less than 30% of my total damages. According to my (small) knowledge on enhancement mechanism, I thought that haste would only affect this part (and also reduce the 1.5 sec GCD of course but it doesn't look like a big DPS improvement).


Thanks for everything.

A new happy partial-time enhancement shaman
For the little story, my raid leader (a rogue) asked me to try enhancement on all Uldu bosses as my personnal DPS was almost as good as my elemental spec, but I provided really more raid utility with Unleashed Rage that we currently don't have :/


PS: sorry for my scolar english

You've stumbled on something that has been the source of a lot of discussion around here. Spell power weapons have been giving decent results when you sim them because of the added spellpower you get. This spellpower affects your nature damage, like lightning bolt, which is a large part of your dps. Blizzard's intentions probably aren't for us to use weapons like these, and I think the tier 8 2-piece set bonus (20% more SS/LS damage) help push us away from spellpower weapons.

Also, try simming for around 6000+ hours, it helps keep more consistent results.

Someone else explained about Wraith Strike - here is an answer to your stat questions:

The reason haste has so much value is because for enhancement, it actually affects a lot of things besides white damage. It increases flametongue, lightning shield, potentially windfury (depending on where your swing speed stands relative to the 3 sec internal cooldown) and lightning bolt damage. Lightning bolt goes up because hitting more often means more maelstrom weapon procs. You can see this for yourself by manually increasing the melee haste in your config file and watching what damage components go up. At certain levels of gear, haste may even exceed 2.0 EP value which means you will want to gem for it over AP.

This is also the reason hit rating has so much value. Hitting more, even on white swings, means more of all these beneficial damage procs. And many of the proc effects then themselves need to hit, based on the spell attack table. It looks like you are not up to the spell hit cap - for that you want 13% spell hit (342 hit rating) as a draenei with full raid buffs. Getting hit up to the spell hit cap is recommended, if you can do it without hurting your other stats too much. Hit will generally be your most valuable stat til you get to that point.

Thank you very much for your both answers.

I realized indeed that reaching the spell hit cap was my first priority according to the EP values. After the spell hit cap, hit rating has a lower EP than other stats (AP, haste, crit,..).
Plus my current set is really oriented spell damage, so I really need this spell hit cap.

Agreed for flametongue and lightning shield.

I did not think about windfury yes. If my MH speed full-buffed is close to 1.5 - 1.55 sec for instance, I'll probably lose some WF DPS by increasing haste. On the other hand, if it's between 1.55 and 2 sec, any haste will probable increase my WF DPS. This is an interesting point, I will check this point a little bit deeper for my personnal knowledge.

About Maelström, I thought this was a PPM, so not affected by haste ?
But now I realize that the MW procs are definitely not regular, sometimes 5 charges in 5-6 seconds, and sometimes have to wait 15-20 secs.



I will run sims for 6000+ hours also, thanks for the advice.


I will not flood this post anymore with my beginner questions. I will keep reading and learn about enhancement mechanisms, and try to learn also playing as a melee

Thanks for the answers.

Any tips on what might be causing this? Ive been thinking over it and i cant figure out what it is.

edit: I just tried it without simming mana and my dps went up about 400. Im stil not sure what is causing it to be so low.

Try turning off mana simulation and see if that changes anything.

But now I realize that the MW procs are definitely not regular, sometimes 5 charges in 5-6 seconds, and sometimes have to wait 15-20 secs.
The Maelstrom weapon effect is normalized to weapon speed to yield approximately 1 ppm per point spent in the talent. A slower weapon will have a greater proc chance per hit than a faster weapon. You still have that same proc chance when you are hitting more often with that same weapon because of haste. Thus, haste increases Maelstrom procs.

For the people getting weird low dps in the sim, there is a issue with the default config.txt that comes with the package -

armor_debuff_major 3925/3925
armor_debuff_minor 1260/1260

should be

armor_debuff_major 20/20
armor_debuff_minor 5/5


Hopefully the author will fix the install package.

High haste EP

Ok, I know this has been mentioned before in the thread but I've spent the past hour searching and looking through the 73 pages of posts and cant find where they came up, let alone whether it be applying to the 3.1 download or not.

I keep getting EP values for haste rating over 2.0. I hear that sometimes this can be the case due to a WF loss that apparently only ever happens in the perfect world of the sim, but I just want to make sure that I'm not doing anything wrong before I either start gemming for haste or start simply ignoring the simmed number and making up one of my own.

For those of you who are getting only 2k dps in the sim, I had the same problem earlier and yes the armor values is one of the things that does this but ALSO check your Unleashed Rage talent points it should be 3/3 NOT 5/5 this also is messing up your sims.


Also, Ruga did you have any luck in getting your Enhsim to not crash when trying to Calculate EP Values? I'm still having problems with this and I nothing seems to work

Actually you got that part wrong. Abnormal low values for haste are due to WF CD 'clipping'. The high value for haste is most likely right, due to the 3.1 haste buff. However, the 2.017 vs 2 AP which you get (32 Ap gem vs 16 haste gem) is at the limit. I would say change some AP to haste (in various steps in the sim) and simulate to see if your DPS.

After playing a retri paly for a long time I rolled back to shaman not to long ago and started reading through these parts of EJ's great forums aswell, along with starting to use enhsim (been using Rawr for ages). Now I can't get enhsim to get any Unleashed Rage uptime at all, and the modeled DPS seems to be about 400 - 700 below what I usually perform in 25 man bossfights that aint requiering to much movement and I guess that this is the source of the discrepency? (Recount aint showing totemdmg either for me atm and with WWS not splitting up fights in Ulduar atm its hard to get a good idea of the true source of dmg).

Another thing, when running these, I get new windows without data inputed into them pop up when I use the enhsimgui for some reason, is this something simple I just forgot to add that does this?

However, the 2.017 vs 2 AP which you get (32 Ap gem vs 16 haste gem) is at the limit. I would say change some AP to haste (in various steps in the sim) and simulate to see if your DPS.
The "abnormally low haste ep" at some attack speeds will be compensated for by a slightly raised ep at other attack speeds. This would indicate that IF the windfury chasm is only present in simulations, he could be better off with attack power.

Now I can't get enhsim to get any Unleashed Rage uptime at all, and the modeled DPS seems to be about 400 - 700 below what I usually perform in 25 man bossfights that aint requiering to much movement and I guess that this is the source of the discrepency? (Recount aint showing totemdmg either for me atm and with WWS not splitting up fights in Ulduar atm its hard to get a good idea of the true source of dmg).

min_lag 0
max_lag 0


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

armor 10645


physical_vulnerability_debuff 4.0/4.0

attack_power_buff_multiplier 99.7/99.7

These are the parts of your config that I think need to be changed, Min lag and Max lag should not be 0 they should represent your average lag to the server. Your Missing Spirit Wolves in your rotation and also MT should be above LS. Also the boss Armor (to my knowledge) should be 13083. Do you use an Arms warrior generally in your raids? If not, put that to 0. And the reason why you do not show Unleashed Rage uptime is because you have the "attack_power_buff_multiplier" checked which means that you have trueshot aura or something, basically just uncheck it.

I thought i had the same problem with recount not showing Totem damage as well but i found out that infact in "overall damage done" it IS combining totem damage and pet damage however when you click on your details it just doesn't show it in there, if you click show pets in the overall window you'll be able to see your totem damage. If you want proof that is combining them just uncheck "merge pets" and watch the damage done window.

As for your WWS's tell your raid leader to start using WMO as well as WWS (I know its a hassle) but WMO is more accurate in regards to DPS and also doesn't bug out. WWS is very helpful in breaking apart ability damage and incoming mitigation on tanks and such.

Except Tukez fixed the sim to remove the incidence of the Windfury Chasm in 1.6.5

EnhSim, DPS simulator
1.6.5
-Changed Windfury cooldown to more accurately mimic ingame mechanics. Windfury cooldown is now normal distributed random number. Mean 3.0s and standard deviation 0.10s. This means 95.4% of time, cd is between 2.8 and 3.2s. The cd is hard capped between 2.5 and 3.5s.

I've finally gotten the sim to not crash when calculating EP values for me. It seems that when I have "Hyperspeed Accelerators" and "Worldbreaker Battlegear 2pc bonus" together it crashes after the haste calculation for me. Since I've found the "Hyperspeed Accelerators" not to be working atm for me I will just not use them. Would someone mind enabling both of these options and doing an EP Calc to see if the sim crashes for you as well?

Sry for this trial and error diagnosing I do not know if or how to use debugging to better figure this out.

Worked fine for me. I just used my normal config and selected those two options (well, just the set bonus since I have hyperaccelerators as part of my normal config already) and no issues at all.

Make sure your GUI is pointing to the correct exe file (I just deleted all my previous versions to limit the incidence of that error) since the hyperaccelerators are an option in the latest version and if your GUI is pointing to a previous version everything would probably work fine until it hit that where it would try to jump the Shark so to speak.

If not, put that to 0. And the reason why you do not show Unleashed Rage uptime is because you have the "attack_power_buff_multiplier" checked which means that you have trueshot aura or something, basically just uncheck it.

I thought i had the same problem with recount not showing Totem damage as well but i found out that infact in "overall damage done" it IS combining totem damage and pet damage however when you click on your details it just doesn't show it in there, if you click show pets in the overall window you'll be able to see your totem damage. If you want proof that is combining them just uncheck "merge pets" and watch the damage done window.

As for your WWS's tell your raid leader to start using WMO as well as WWS (I know its a hassle) but WMO is more accurate in regards to DPS and also doesn't bug out. WWS is very helpful in breaking apart ability damage and incoming mitigation on tanks and such.
Thanks alot! That puts the numbers in the rigth ballpark atleast, still a bit low but that might be solved by longer sim times hopefully.

Just tried to play again with EnhSim and get higher numbers...

I got 5682 DPS using my current MH [Crimson Steel].

I got 5784 DPS using [Wraith Strike].


I've just tested with [Wraith Strike], but enchanting both weapons with flametongue, don't use WF anymore. I've also replaced WF glyph with FlameTongue one.

Conf File:

etc. Read the comments.
//You always input what you see on your character sheet/paper doll.

########### //To understand the EP ranges you have to understand how EP values are 

calculated. 
#EP RANGES# //For example, to calculate EP value of crit rating, first I simulate the 

normal "baseline" dps.
########### //Then I simulate dps with increased crit rating. I take the dps difference 

and divide it by the
//increased crit rating to get dps/crit rating value. EP range means how much crit 

rating did I increase.

//Watch the expertise and hit caps. For example if expertise goes over the cap resulting 

from too high EP
//range, the EP value will go lower than it should be. On the other hand, if you give 

too low EP ranges,
//you won't get accurate results. Best scenario is low EP ranges and high simulation 

time.

//If hit/spellhit or expertise is already over the cap, test will be skipped. Although 

you can
//give negative ep range to see how much EP is hit/expertise worth to have. To skip a 

test, use 0 as range.

EDIT: I changed a little bit my template to take the last point in Call of flamme (3/3) and 2/5 reverberation, and switch Magma Totem and LavaLash in the priority list.
Still using FT enchant on my both weapons.

First off you forgot that you need to use Flametongue rank 9 on one of the weapons if you are using FT/FT otherwise you will lose a significant portion of your procs from the hidden cooldown on same ranked FT.

Taking that into account and swapping my CG for a Wrathstrike with +63 spellpower I get 5976dps for FT9/FT. However changing the FT9 to WF bumps the dps up to 6063dps and then swapping out the FT glyph for a WF glyph takes it to 6069dps. Changing the enchant to Berzerker on the Wrathstrike then takes it to 6131dps and then swapping it back to CG takes it to 6146dps.

So what was your point?

If we find another Slow Caster Mainhand in Ulduar I bet it would be amazingly good for Enhancement. It would still end up using WF/FT though.

Logic dictates that the highest priority spell should be the one with the highest damage per cast. Is there any particular reason why something like this is not the normally used rotation?

rotation_priority_count		8
rotation_priority1		SW
rotation_priority2		LS
rotation_priority3		MT
rotation_priority4		MW5_LB
rotation_priority5		ES
rotation_priority6		SS
rotation_priority7		LL
rotation_priority8		SR
Also, I'm not really sure how recasting of lightning shield while there is still charges left is handled by the simulator. It's possible that it would be a dps upgrade to refresh a Lightning Shield with one charge left over casting Lava Lash to avoid having to delay more important spells later.

Maybe the option that reads "cast LS only if charges left" would be what you are looking for. I just set that to "2" and then put LS as the lowest priority making the assumption that whenever there is a free GCD it will be spent recasting LS.
