I can’t seem to get anywhere close to my sim DPS with some toons falling more behind then others , Any advice on how to come closer to sim ? I’ve tired about 10 different class spec combos with GSE varying degrees of playing around , adjusting macros, hotkeys , rotation. Any advice on how to come closer to sim ? Anyone know the best Class spec combo that works with gse to come closest to sim dps ? thanks for any help =D =
Actually Raid Boss is offline for maintenance, so i cant check it out. There are some things that matters (at least for my little knowledge), like :
- world ping (you can change it on Simc addon)
- clickrate
- optimal Cooldown usage
- the class itself.
If you simulate a class with a lot of Procs, like Ice mage for example the ingame results can vary a lot. A accurate Simulation will be done with 10´000+ iterations, The dps result will be the average dps of 10´000 Bossfights.
At past Raidbots did used Bloodlust even if you turned it off (for classes wich have BL of course.)
After the maintance Raidbots will now also have a “Target Dummy” option, wich will make the results more acurate (for spells that can used under X% HP only)
Also be sure to turn off all Buffs. After cleaning the cookies and cache it will be turned on again.
Classes wich works good with GSE for me are:
(manual CD usage)
- Havoc DH
- in 7.X BM Hunter (not sure about the current state)
- Fury Warrior
- Shadow priest
To share a bit of my secret in this, Is a process I do when I develop macros.
First sim your character. Assuming you are using sim C
then scroll through the detailed information, until you see something called an Action priority list.
which should show a table with a bunch of stuff but below that look for Sample sequence table.
this dropdown shows what abilites were used and timestamped when during the sim essentially its a combat log of the sim.
from here you need to study it and look for a pattern that you can replicate in a macro. depending on the class it won’t be a perfect fit but it should give you an idea of ability order and frequency.
from there you script and test your macro first on a training dummy while doing so run two add-ons first details damage metres. second is something like Hero rotation or Hekili,
don’t look at you DPS at this point, use detail to look at the charts and graphs to compare with the ones in the sim, so you can see it abilities are firing as often as the sim, running watching hero rotation addon as you hit the dummy you can see if your abilites are firing when the addon thinks it should be.
FYI the APL or information to determine that ability to press is often the same as whats used to sim your character, so should result in a similar rotation.
from this point its a matter of back and forth testing and tuning until things match up as close as possible.
it seems a lot to do but yeah a lot of thought and time goes into some of these macros many cant grasps. as its often not simple fits to just throw commands at a wall and see what sticks. personally i am happy with a 5% leeway trying to match your sim results. as the sim results demonstrate a perfect scenario which often cant be achieved. heck even if you have set the siim up wrong can skew things also.
Thank you for the information on how to sim a macro correctly
