The Warlocks Den - WoW Warlock Discussions

These are results of 30k iterations with a fight time of 5 minutes using a Simulationcraft updated for 3.1.

Caveats/assumptions:
* Demo specs with Decimation use 1xFiller-1xSF weaving - in other words, the sim assumes you can always stay at a distance from the boss that makes this possible.
* Eradication is assumed to have no internal cooldown. (Verified here)

The results below are based on current mechanics on live, including the recent conflag hotfix/nerf.

lilsteele Character Info lilsteele 80 Human Warlock Terenas Euro PvE	Re: Simulationcraft on post-3.1 specs thats great, thnx may I ask you how many iterations you use for the scaling factors? I'm just wondering since I tried running up to 100k iterations and I still got large variations for the same scalings in two consecutive runs. I just do ./Warlock_SPEC.simcraft iterations=100000 calculate_scale_factors=1 on OSX most of the time, some runs on linux also. I'm just wondering what I'm doing wrong, since 100k iterations should be enough to get these scalings quite accurately... Another question on the Meta rotation: Metamorphosis is popped whenever it is off cooldown. Life Tap is used to keep mana up when Meta is not up, to maximize dps output during Meta-phase. Glyph buff is still kept up during meta? Immolation is dropped below 35% since you need max range to weave... Is that more or less correct?

thetrueavatar Character Info makilélè 80 Undead Warlock Sargeras Euro PvP Guild: Les templiers du chaos Talent Spec: 3/14/54	Re: Simulationcraft on post-3.1 specs Very nice post. I was asking me if it was possible to get a chart of the dps without the execution part(25% for affliction or 35%). The idea is to know what will be the lost of dps if we miss our decimation 1:1 or drain soul. I would like to know the dps of 0/41/30 or 0/40/31 cause sometime we need high burst but don't have the possibility to use decimation 1:1 correctly(emalion add to burst, raizortail,...) Maybe a chart with a decicmation 2:1 to have something more realistic ?

jwlarson3 Character Info Wrathskellar 80 Orc Warlock Thrall US PvE Guild: Veni Vidi Vicci Talent Spec: 0/41/30	Re: Simulationcraft on post-3.1 specs for the 0/41/30 spec: One thing I dont see taken into account is that due to travel time of incinerate, when the mob is under 35% you usually have a second or two to cast another spell before your proc goes off to start casting your soulfire. Since threat is still not too much of an issue, I usually squeeze in a searing pain or refresh a DoT as needed. Unless you are very far away, there is not enough time to do another incinerate. this seems to minimize down time and still allow you to take advantage of the proc for soulfire.

lilsteele Character Info lilsteele 80 Human Warlock Terenas Euro PvE	Re: Simulationcraft on post-3.1 specs I just pulled the latest source, r2252, and get this: I think its a problem with the new pet mana implementation, since compared to the older results only the imp dps went down, the rest didn't change a lot. so this is what happens with improper pet management also kinda shows how easily you can find wrong results from a simulation. Interestingly this dps loss is also present in the Sampleoutput on the simcraft website, noone seems to have noticed it.
