Well that's certainly better than my attempt at a level 90 profile, but you've forgotten a couple things. You're still using Cata food, flasks, and potions instead of the MoP ones, and you have an on-use trinket equipped but no action to use it. Those alone increased the Destro profile by ~7k (haven't run the Aff or Demo profiles yet, but I would expect similar gains).

Also, I've tweaked your action list for Destro a bit to pool embers for temporary int buffs (I didn't see any gains from pooling for Dark Soul), and to only use Conflag when under 80% mana (to prevent some mana overflow). I couldn't manage to get the wait time any lower than 9.5 seconds though, but it's worthwhile to keep in mind that that's 9.5 seconds spread out over about about ten minutes. That wait time will also get lower as gear improves as more haste and crit will increase mana generated and reduce mana spent, respectively.

edit: Oh, and the trinket Vision of the Predator has a crit proc that's not coded in.

edit2: Using the proper food, flask, potion, and an action to use the on-use trinket (haven't fixed the other trinket's proc yet, but it's also not correct in the mage sim...), and using the above action list for Destro, I've gotten the following results:

Affliction: 81907
Demonology: 83747
Destruction: 67997

Comparing those values to the mage sims (Here), I would guess that Destro's in a good place, and Aff and Demo are likely overpowered at ~13-15k ahead of Arcane. Knock off about 10k off Aff and Demo and we'd still be in good shape without a ridiculously large advantage. Of course it could just be that mage (and Destro) damage is exceptionally low, but it feels weird to type that.

I was able to get MG \ Haunt doing more dps then drain weaving using the 90 Heroic gear. Adjusting the rotation a bit and switching from sacrifice to supremacy at one target.

edit: Supremacy is better then service, at least at 560s fight length

Fallensaint · 07/14/12, 8:06 PM

Also, I'm a bit curious to see if the change to Chaos Wave will result in a potential DPS gain. In the currently available version of Simcraft I only lose about 250 DPS if I include the following action after Hand of Gul'dan:

actions+=/chaos_wave,if=demonic_fury>800

With CW's spellpower coefficient increased by 25%, it's possible that that small loss might become a gain (or at least much less of a loss). Unfortunately, I'm not savvy enough to fiddle with Simcraft's internal workings to test this myself until Simcraft gets updated.

Thanks for this. Was so focused on getting the gearset in and running the sims to get a good reforging I totally forgot about consumables.

I copied and pasted your action priority list, and ended up LOSING ~4k DPS. Wait time went to 20 seconds. It's an OOM issue, as using Destro's single target rotation is about -500 mana/sec.

What is the haunt uptime that you're getting when you run it that way?

Fairly low, 62%. And I guess it wasn't simmed again drain weaving, it was simmed again using drainsoul all the time. I have not ran a sim for actual drain weaving.

Hmm . . . it's a 0.2% gain (130 DPS) for a lot of proc watching and effort. I'm thinking this is one of those "a computer could do it but any real person is gonna screw it up and lose DPS" kind of things. . .

Good call . . . it's an 8K DPS gain. Also, Affliction goes from a huge DPS variance to a normal one.

jason1975 · 07/15/12, 1:03 AM

Fixed a lot of the reforging (including spell hit is now 15% not 17% -- DOH!!)
Updated Affliction's priority lists to reflect zinnin's changes.

Current Simmed Results - Level 90 Heroic 5-man & Crafted Gear (Does not reflect the 7/13 Demonlogy nerf)
Either Destro needs a huge buff, or Demo/Afflic are in for some serious nerfs.

Demo 88,185
Afflic 86,734
Destro 67,724

It seems to me that as of latest beta build
- metamorphosis' autoattack doesn't refresh corruption anymore
- only "real" touch of chaos cast" alter corruption duration
- and ToC does not extend it by 18 secondes but more like 6 seconds (feels like fel-flame)
i don't know if it's already taken into account in the sim via the DBC update, or if it has to lead to a code-change.

Update: Additionnaly, hellfire seems to generate actually 3 fury per target instead of 2.

Updated Affliction's priority lists to reflect zinnin's changes.

Current Simmed Results - Level 90 Heroic 5-man & Crafted Gear (Does not reflect the 7/13 Demonlogy nerf)
Either Destro needs a huge buff, or Demo/Afflic are in for some serious nerfs.

Demo 88,185
Afflic 86,734
Destro 67,724

Thanks for putting together the profiles - I've added them to our repository, albeit with a much simplified affliction action list. I'm really not sure how you're getting those numbers, though; simulating those profiles I get significantly lower results for Demo and Affliction both. Maybe you're running with a nonstandard fight length or something?

ToC is and was already modeled that way - it's how I guessed it would end up working after reading GC's comments last week. And the extension was never more than 6 seconds each time, it was just hard to notice when it happened automatically every second.

I've updated the hellfire fury gain, thanks.

Hmm . . . not that I can see. Just re-ran them to confirm.

I found the discrepancy - we only recently obtained the correct armor value for level 93 targets, so the version you are using has a target armor value of zero when you're simulating at level 90. Obviously this greatly inflates damage from pet melee swings.
