[PQR] Nilrem Affliction Profile

[Pzy]

hei, could it be that the profile is bugged on garajal hc, cause when i go down in the ghostworld i need to manually dot the adds/use all cds to get full life cause im alone down there...?

im using the exclusive, and i hope this will be fixed....^^
also it would be nice that there is a priority in executing the adds in ghostworld with soulleech, cause i usw the glyph for the 20% heal when i kill a add.....

I have done a similiar thing for my affliction but it did not have great impact. Perhaps cause that Pandemic was bugged in 5.0 or something. Are you calculating a spelldamage cofficient based on simcrafts of all values(int, spellpower, crit, haste, mastery)? I did add my scale values from Simcraft to get it as good as possible.

Also my work was kind of bugged since it did not really take in account the end of the proccs but just checked againt the spelldamage cofficient when the old dot was cast.

I'm calculating average spell damage the dot will do based on all combat ratings currently available and comparing it to existing dot.

I made an update. Added HC add in list so it will now properly attack it. Added different behaviour for targets that are below 100k HP so now it won't go and refresh dots if target is below 100k HP but will continue to Drain Soul it so you are sure that you get shards and health back. There is a check before when target drops below 20% profile will break cast/channel and switch to Drain Soul instant.

Please let me know if it works, changes are uploaded already and don't forget to update DATA file also
Thank you for informations btw

Laughing is healthy m8, hows the ">Simcraft" code going by the way?

Well to be hones I'm trying to optimize it more. Since I made changes to Haunt and we are casting only "boosted" haunts now there isn't much difference in if we update dot's dynamically based on relative combat values or not. But since there is still small difference I'm pushing to find the right combination.
I can't seem to find any data on what combat ratings Haunt actually updates on dot's, haste/crit/sp/mastery?

And I need to test it in raid. Target dummy simply isn't a measure anymore.

[Ninjaderp]

I hope you find the data needed, I guess you've been all over theorycrafting-sites and forums such as EJ forum MMO-C-forum already? No findings in using Simcraft?

[nilrem2004]

Well what I'm now interested in is: let's say we got a target and target has 3 dots on it, Agony,Corruption and UA. Pandemic thresholds are Agony 12, Corruption 9 and UA 7 seconds approx.
So we want to benefit from that Pandemic right? When you think about DoT's, their power, and duration you get to have these following situations. I will refeer to combat values haste,sp,crit,mastery as "power" since I'm anyways calculating it in "index" values.

1. Your current power is higher and if you refresh your DoT now you will benefit fully from Pandemic - obviously we want to cast our dot here.
2. Your power is higher but if you refresh now it is too early and you will get powerfull dot but won't benefit from pandemic.If you wait for pandemic you might loose power - here is the trick, do we want to refresh or not?
3. Your power is weaker and you will benefit fully from pandemic - here I think we should let the dot tick till last couple of ticks and then refresh so we get the benefit from the dot before that was more powerfull.
4. Your power is weaker and you won't benefit from pandemic - same, wait till dot comes to an end

Also there is a Haunt issue since Haunt also updates some of combat values like Haste so things get even more complicated. What is your haste is lower atm then it was when you casted dots but your int is higher and it would greatly benefit haunt? Do we cast haunt to get more dmg with it but lower haste on dots? If haunt would update dot's SP values then this question would be already answered but I still didn't find anything about it. All I found is that Haunt updates haste.

The more deeper I go into this the more questions pop out

I don't know anything about the haunt question, but to the "power" question, definitely take a look at this addon:
AffDots - Class - World of Warcraft Addons - Curse

Maybe look at its lua code and get an idea? it tracks power and color sorts them depending on situations, like these:
* Green: your current stats are better, recasting will have a full benefit of Pandemic
* Blue: your current stats are better, recasting will not have a full benefit of Pandemic
* Yellow: your current stats are worse, recasting will have a full benefit of Pandemic
* Red: your current stats are worse, recasting will not have a full benefit of Pandemic

I definitely see what you're taking on to be a challenge ;p, but I don't think anyones in a rush since the current one is working fine, so take your time! .

I absolutely love this profile. There is only one weird problem I am having. I use this profile to pvp as well, and for some reason it doesn't use a rotation on Shamans in arena ><. Every time I switch to a Shaman it does absolutely nothing lol.

I've had this same issue.

Also nilrem your newest update is no longer casting dots with the changes you made to non-boss targets, works fine on bosses but on anything else it just haunts and malefic grasps.
