We can provide trinket schemas for most of the common ones and then people can follow the pattern to add new ones as they want.

Something like:

<trinket name="Malan's Maruader of Doom">
<chanceOnHit value=0.45>
<internalCooldown value =10>
<procBonus><attackPower value=3000>
</trinket>

And then we'd have a trinket model that would read in expected values and instantiate itself as the specified trinket. The engine itself would just know how to ask a trinket for things like "tell me what to do when you fire" and "how long before you can fire again."

On the java redesign yes definitely Malan, I'd suggest we create a new sourceforge project and setup authors for those willing to assist. Then we'd have a live project & forum to discuss the actual project/class design as that is beyond the scope of this forum. I can go ahead and create such a project and then authorise the appropriate people as authors so we can begin the process.

PS. That trinket's OP.

Edit: Ok to kick things off I've created a project https://sourceforge.net/projects/enhsimj/ and will be able to manage it and add authors once its approved. Can anyone who can contribute to coding the project please contact me by Private Message.

Questions about Armor Penetration usefulness on the WoW forums got me looking at the EnhSim 1.7 code. The equations for damage reduction due to armor look nothing like what has been posted by a developer in the Damage Dealer's forum of WoW.

Here is a rehash of what was posted. You can go to the DD forums and dig up the original posts for confirmation.

Step 1: ACdebuff = AC * ArPdebuff1 * ArPDebuff2 * ...

AC = the armor of the mob
ArPdebuffn = the % armor reduction due to a debuff placed on the mob. For example, sunder armor.

Step2: ACcap = (ACmax + ACdebuff)/3
if ACcap > AC then ACcap = AC

ACMax = 15232.5

Step 3: ACreduction = ACcap * (ArPbuff1 + ArPbuff2 + ...)

ArPbuffn = personal Armor Penetration buff, like Armor Penetration rating

Step 4: MeleeDamageFactor = ACmax / (ACmax + ACcap - ACreduction)

Dev posting has recognized that with enough armor penetration, it is possible to get over 100% damage factor. But current itemization does not make it possible. Because players are inputting these values, you probably want to cap the MeleeReductionFactor at 1.

This is a little off the road for the current conversation but I know I am not the only one wondering about this:

Are there any plans on updates, especially adding a GUI, to MacEnh?

I posted the same question as a Wish on the website but saw no response. Any clue?

Ah man, I would have suggested jEnhanceSim, that's what I named my netbeans project when I started it up last night.

I did a little UML design last night, nothing too detailed but it got the wheels turning.

Btw sourceforge says your application was not approved.

It's also worth noting that as the wolves do their damage oved 45 secs that their reported dps value drops as the fight length moves from 1min to 3min (end of cd) and again from 4 min to 6 min (at lower values throughout due to Bloodlust and 'Use' type trinkets.

Additionally your dps values (with the wolves removed from the rotation ) will be higher for a 5 min fight compared to a 6 min fight if you have any 2min Use type trinkets equipt.

It's quite easy to calculate the dps value of the wolves if you want to use them once per fight Enhancement Glyphs a numeric comparison

Im pretty sure it has to be:

Step2: ACcap = (ACmax + ACdebuff)/3
if ACcap > ACdebuff then ACcap = ACdebuff

Step4: MeleeDamageFactor = ACmax / (ACmax + ACdebuff - ACreduction)

You are correct. The simple example given by the developer hid the fact that the debuff value should be used in the above equations. But a player posted a detailed example and it is consistent with your correction. Thanks!

I should also point out the the constant, ACmax, is actually computed based on mob level as follows:

ACmax = 400+85*targetlevel+4.5*85*(targetlevel-59)

for mobs over level 59.

The ACmax I listed was for a level 80 mob. For a boss it would be 16635.

Yeah my initial description of the project referenced the Enhsim website and I got back a reply saying they need a full description in the box and no external links!! I re-submitted the application with a full description and no URL links. If they still decline it I can try to setup a project on Codeplex instead.

Netbeans, hmmm. I use Eclipse its so much cleaner and doesn't add nearly so much gunk to a project. Eclipse.org home and click the downloads link. Very open and easy to upgrade too, with built in SVN support and plugins for practically anything you could think might be useful. Still I think the IDE shouldn't matter as long as we don't start using things like the Netbeans custom code for GUI stuff.

A Java replacement would run on Windows, Macs & Linux and was discussed the message immediately above yours.

Malan · 05/20/09, 1:24 PM

To each his own on the IDE. I just happen to like netbeans look/feel better. (Netbeans does everything you described too

)

I assume we'll be taking the approach of a constructive simulation (that's my field of work) and fully representing weapons, trinkets, the player and the 'target dummy' as actors in our sim?

[e] Well looks like the project is in the process of being approved this time, I can actually log in and see our dev site now.

I recently picked up wrathstone and sim'd it. I'm a little concerned because it is siming with a 20% up time. The use has a cool down of two minutes and lasts twenty seconds. Is the sim incorrect or am I missing something?

Malan · 05/21/09, 3:54 PM

You're missing the rationale behind the uptime. In a 5 minute period you'll (in theory) use the trinket at 0:00, 2:00, 4:00. That's 60 seconds which is 20% if your simulator is set to use a 5min combat. Or you can use the trinket twice in 3 minutes which is slightly over 20%. In short: Check how you have the sim configured and yes it's probably correct.

Wait, I thought the sim didn't have wrathstone coded yet? I get "Trinket wrathstone not found." when I sim with it. I'm using 1.7.0

I know where it is, I wouldn't get that error if it wasn't entered :P

And as Malan said, you're seeing 20% because of your combat_length

Is anyone currently running EnhSim on Windows 7?

The sim crashes right away and the EP -sometimes- gets a few lines in before crashing.

Latest C++ and .Net packs installed as well.

Malan · 05/21/09, 8:18 PM

Works fine for me under W7. Just make sure you've got 1.7 and use the new config file (not the lvl 80 one).

Raiix - Myla · 05/22/09, 8:52 AM

Hi there, my concern is about the unstable haste ep again. Especially, I want to know the gem order in case of high-end equip. My crit ep is quite stable at 1.7 and i use stamina gems to reach a good socket bonus (e.g. +12 ap on t8/t8.5 legs or leatherworking waist and feet). Losing 4ap for 132hp is a nice deal in my opinion. Hit and expertise are capped.

haste > ap > stamina (with haste ep > 2.00)
ap > haste > stamina (with haste ep < 2.00)
ap > crit > stamina (with haste ep < 1.7)

So I have chosen a set of probably bis items, that you can get before entering the hardmodes, and applied it to my config.

With this gear set i endet up with 15.3% haste and did linear regression from 15.0% to 20% wich led to a ep value of 2.07. One should get similar results by increasing the ep steps by a factor of 5 or higher.

EnhSim is a fresh download from the code page - v1.7

Sim is running fine now and EP is also successful, with expertise skipped. However, when I reduce my character expertise to below cap or modify the EP value to negative the EP calc crashes every time.

Worldbreaker set bonus question

Simple question: Do I need to enable both set bonuses in order to properly sim them, or does enabling the 4pc option automatically sim the 2pc as well? 2pc sims fine, but when I enter the 4pc bonus into the second set bonus slot (GUI) Enh sim crashes. When I enter both for other armor sets however, it works fine.

Config below incase I have managed to break something. Any generic feedback on my config would also be welcome; I am new to the Sim. Thanks the the author btw.

I'm running it in Win 7 RC and it has not crashed for me.

Very new here so please forgive ignorance =P

I have downloaded the latest EnhSim but having trouble actually opening it. Whenever I try to it comes up with:

''Windows cannot open this file:

File: EnhSim1.7.0.rar

To open this file, Windows needs to know what program created it. Windows can go online to look it up automatically, or you can manually select from a list of programs on your computer.''

When I do try to use the site it gives me this:

Windows has the following information about this file type. This page will help you find software needed to open your file.

''File Type: RAR compressed archive file

File Extension: .rar
Description: RAR files contain one or more files that have been compressed and packaged into an archive file.

Software or information available at:

* RARLAB WinRAR
* WinAce
* WinZip

You may search the following Web site for related software and information:

* Windows Live Search''

Which one is safe to use as I want to be sure it works correctly.

Thank you. =]

I personally use WinRAR. I can't speak from any experience about the other two.

Octanus · 05/25/09, 12:49 PM

Ok Thanks for the fast reply, I guess I will try it. =D
