EnhSim updated thread

Going to continue this thread for Cataclysm updates and to garner help with testing on the Beta and PTRs. Please see the second post to see what Ziff would like tested and if that seems out of date then please check the last page of the thread.

What is EnhSim and what can it do for you?

EnhSim is a World of Warcraft utility for simulating shaman combat. EnhSim tries to accurately replicate combat and it's mechanics inside WoW to generate useful data to enhance your playing. In damage dealing role, this means maximizing your DPS. EnhSim helps you to:
  • Find the best rotation for max DPS.
  • Optimize your talents.
  • Choose the best equipment, enchants, consumables etc. available.
  • Calculate your personal EP values.

Information for using EnhSim can be found at About EnhSim

The latest version can always be found at EnhSim

Check list of Outstanding Issues

The only outstanding work items are updating the UI for the new talents/buffs, and updating the spell damages so they are reasonable for level 85. So I'd like to make sure we get some of the base spell damages at level 85 in there. Especially since most of the damage numbers are based off of at best level 83.

Got most of the numbers, just need to get Feral Spirits and the guardians. Known values in blue.

In the newest version of EnhSim Beta (1.9.1.2) I am now getting best results dropping MT down again in priority and setting it to refresh at 1 tick. I am also getting more benefit with 2 points in reverb and no points in improved stormstrike, with only 1 in improved fire nova if you have 4 pc t9. Thought I would share my config and results (my current gear).

and how much of a difference do those points make if 25% of the encounter has 4 adds that can be affected by Fire Nova? The multiple target feature in the Boss Panel is the big new change in EnhSim and that is what we really need people to start testing. We also need to start figuring out a proper Boss panel config to use that will average out all the encounters. Should start with ToC since all the encounters are known and then once we have something that we can agree on, and we are sure that the multiple target feature is working properly, then we can start to talk about optimizing talents and priorities. We should also start figuring out a general configuration to use for ICC.

I agree with this most certainly. However, without a way to model chain lightning appropriately I have yet to start playing the with multiple target model. I think once that is figured out we can start to discuss it. Full single target models still do have their place though, especially those who can run with 2 enhancement specs.

I was simply just sharing some interesting results, especially given that in the previous model, having MT high up in the priority was a big deal. Additonally, many people refresh the totem (myself included) with 5-6 ticks left and the model is showing a much bigger difference (in the realm of 100-150 dps) for dropping the totem past 3 ticks.

edit: perhaps this was the wrong thread for this. Maybe should have been in the BiS thread.

Chain Lightning is certainly modeled by the multiple target section or do you mean in relation to using the Elemental Totem?

I meant in relation to the elemental totem as well as how it is difficult to model %-uptime of multiple targets in relation to chain lightning (i.e. there is no code yet to only use CL if target>2, though I know it is in the works).

There are significant changes to enhsim with the newest version, including the multiple target functionality. Another significant, but less flashy, change is making the default mean fight length 7 minutes instead of 10. I assume this is for (at least) two reasons: to better represent actual in game boss fight lengths, and to prevent the default 35% rng factor from ever causing the sim to cast bloodlust twice in the same combat.

With these changes in mind, I decided to revisit the mass sim batch process and see if 35% is still a reasonable rng factor. Note that my goal is not to find (or approach) the rng that will produce the most dps, but rather the rng that will be the most representative.

So with this post* (10m mean fight length, no multiple target) for comparison, here are my preliminary findings. I color coded the data. At 43% rng, a 7m mean fight length will start to introduce a second bloodlust for some of the fights. If preventing this is a deliberate design philosophy on the part of the enhsim development team, the data from 43% and above can be declared not representative of in game results.





The shape of this graph is quite different from the single target 10 minute results I and others have posted. I'll tentatively say that 35% is still a reasonable value for an rng factor though. After an initial sharp change, the data stabilizes, and 35% is within the stable range. At 43% when a second bloodlust is introduced, the data starts changing again.

* Spec, talents, and gear were changed as little as possible. I moved my 5 points in Elemental Warding and Reverberation to Call of Flame and Improved Fire Nova. I added Fire Nova to the priority, but did not add Chain Lightning, or move spells around in the priority.

A 7minute fight would favor spirit wolve dps highly. I also believe that's the reason for the shape of the graph. There's not a 2nd dip.

You should keep in mind though that what you want to find is not necessarily the value where the dps stops changing. The only thing you accomplish by changing this random fight length variable is introducing different effects from specific fight lengths. Just an example without proving anything is that if you have a 7 minute fight, you will be able to use feral spirits 3 times. With a variable fight length, once you start using fight lengths below 6:45 you will get less and less value out of Feral Spirits on average. This effect will continue to decrease dps until you start using fight lengths above 9 minutes, which should happen sometime around 28%. Bloodlust will also have an effect on this just as you mentioned, and probably any other cooldown spell.

I mean, once the variance gets high enough, isn't it quite close to running a 10000 hour simulation with a fight length of 10000 hours (Apart from haste pot usage...)? The point of the fight length variance is to make sure haste/weapon speed/whatever doesn't get an inflated value due to fitting in one more of a specific spell. A value much lower than 35% (previously suggested) or 43% (probably 5 or 10%) is more than enough for that. Anything else will just _change_ the dps output, not make it more correct or relevant.

I thought the fight length variance was more to simulate different fights for different bosses.

Not every boss is the same length, and so a higher variance means that some simulations are at the middle 7min length, while some end up at 5, 6, 8 and 9 minutes. This gives us a nice average DPS that is independent of fight length, and allows us to sim our gear for ALL fights, rather than one specific case (ideal or otherwise).

We are adding code that will give a tick box - use MW5_CL if targets > 1. What this will do is when it checks MW5_LB if the priority is triggered (ie: you have 5 stacks of MW) and CL is available it will use CL instead of LB. Otherwise it will use LB as normal. This should be fairly intuitive as its what you do as a player, use CL if multi targets when you hit 5 stacks.

The new setup is such that the model works IDENTICALLY if you set additional targets to zero. As such people doing "normal" modelling will have this at zero, people looking to study multi target fights can now play with that too. This should be a BIG step forward for the usability of the sim.


Carrying on from previous thread, can we have a test question in post two asking for test results of whether flametongue weapon should be considered spell damage for the purposes of triggering "on damaging spell" or "on spell cast" type trinkets.

    There are _6_ buffs associated to this proc:

    Have to see if it is random or not at which buffs it procs.
Only thing I found out about it, because I can't seem to find anyone with this on PTR

In your simulation, Fire Nova is way down on the priority list. In fact, you sim it as being cast only 3.96 times per minute for 200.31 dps, or 50.583 dps per cast. In comparison, Lava Lash was casts 6.4 times per minute for 290.87 dps, or 45.448 dps per cast. It seems to me that FN should be at least as high on the priority list as LL, if not much higher for multi target fights. Obviously with FN being so low on the priority list, you will not be getting the most benefit out of the talent!

I simmed the highest dps I could single target. Moving FN up is a dps loss. I cannot explain it, but moving FN above LL results in a 30 dps loss.

Results with FN just above LL:

Moving FN up as well as MT, results in 8312. This is lower than the 8345 I showed earlier.

Edit: I thought perhaps it may be the lightning shield priority that could be confounding this. Perhaps lightning shield needs to be above FN. Moving LS above FN, and LL right below results in 8341 dps. So, obviously there is some interaction, but that is not the only thing going on here.

Edit #2: Playing around some more, I find that (normal priority)>ES>FN>MT>LS>LL>(normal again) provides the exact same dps (~8345), but again, keeping 2 points in reverb is still a dps gain over 2 in fire nova+1 improved SS.
