Does anyone know if the combination count is increased when you sim due to the corrupted effects?
My concern is that i was already having problems capping on combinations before this new complicated gear - the added complexity and option to remove the corruption from the gear seems like it would drastically increase the number of combinations possible when you’re simming.
Anyone heard of feedback in this area?
Funny - Bellular’s video on the corruption gear mentioned that this system makes it seems like Blizzard has a financial interest in Raid Bots. Which makes complete sense when you consider how complex the new system makes simming.
Have you confirmed this either way? I’m really interested since I sim all the time and almost always hit the cap based on the current system.
Lol imagine if it turns out they do have money in raid bots. Haha the sht storm would be glorious
It would make a lot more sense.
I mean I appreciate the intricacy that the system provides - but even the tooltips don’t provide enough detail to figure things out by “hand”/spreadsheet.
I have used raid bots, it said on their site they use SimulationCraft. You can download that for free. Last I knew anyways, haven’t had to use that in a while.
Yeah but the free part is kind of like a “trial” version.
You can only sim a limited number of combinations and some pieces you can’t sim unless you have the paid premium membership.
Perfection is over-rated
Optimization is required for people pushing the challenging content. Unless you have enough gold to buy your way through content later on in the expansions.
Sims are dum.
99% of the players can’t hit their sim dps with bis gear anyway.
Stop being silly.
I don’t see anything about a trial version for Simulationcraft at their (Simulationcraft not raidbot) website. Even when I did use it I didn’t remember that so I just looked.
Sim Craft and raidbot go hand in hand. Simcraft gives you the code that you use within raid bot to conduct the simulations.
Yes I know. Raidbot uses Simulationcraft’s program. You don’t have to pay raidbot you can download the program for free.
Right but using the addon without the websites simulations is meaningless. The simulations is where the value is - and that’s where the premium membership comes into play.
You can do your own simulations that raidbot do with simcraft, sure it’s easier and already mostly done by raidbot. But I have used simcraft in the past to compare huge amount of gear with huge amount of talent it just takes a bit of time to setup because you basicly have to code it in simcraft.
I doubt raid bots will increase it or at least not without requiring a subscription. You will just need to further limit you changes when you sim. I know I sometimes run into the cap (and I have a sub) but that really only happens when I toss in tons of changes (including traits, all my essences, all enchants and all gems) into the mix.
Wait - is there a cap even WITH a premium membership?
You can download simulationcraft and use it just fine as a standalone program.
Yeah, but it is something like 1.5 million combinations. I mean if you need more than that, you are just expecting too much.
That’s kinda the point. It’s to show the ceiling of your gear but to reach the ceiling requires perfect play on your part over 3/5 minutes.
