Some Mage hacks until client gets current spell data

Updating a few Mage mechanics

Beta Build 15851 (5.0.3) DBC Data

Priest: Divine Fury for PW:Solace, added Rapid Renewal.

Reorder some classes.

Continue work on moving from object-oriented lists to owner-possesed lists ( or std::vector for now ).

Player_t: For simplicity, merge all base, initial and current variables together into one class, even though some of them don't require a base value.

Skim through simulationcraft.hpp and change various things.

• Move some things to cpp files
• Change some static-function only classes to namespaces

Add powershot support (though it is not in any profile yet).

Save profiles with the item id if available for gear. Any non-overridden fields for the item will be shown in a comment underneath the item.

SVN Tags

Don't crash when spells have no description.

Don't use NDEBUG if we're in Beta.

Report Text: Don't print quiet pets. Hunter: Only report first Crow.

Mage profile tweaks

Make hunter pets class id 0 for dbc purposes. Export hunter pet specialization lists so find_specialization_spell() for pets works correctly.

Add new header files to all project files.

DBC Extract: Add LANG variable, print out invalid Input Path.

Warrior: Change to stateless

Warrior: add warrior_action_t, cleanup.

Move generic programming tools and timespan from simulationcraft.hpp into separate header files.

Typo

Hunter: Change MoC pet list, use the shadowy apparition list/queue system.

Hunter Pet: Add all specs, initialize them to not found.

Fix MM Steady Focus haste buff and pets double-dipping in Rapid Fire.

Keep track of number of refreshes to dots, and use this info for a better heuristic for DPET chart filtering: If the number of refreshes is greater than the number of executes, hide the action from the chart.

Add readiness support for BM And MM, including correct handling of stacked murder of crows

Level 93 armor value as per:

Tiny cosmetic fix.

Minor merge cleanup

Work around assert with pet specs by just giving the ferocity abilities to all hunter pets.

Hunter pets: prepare default spec

Fix a bug with too many underscores in gem parsing, introduced in the previous commit.

Enchant parsing: Improve system to better handle mixed enchants ( with some stat and spell effects ).

Remove sc_log.cpp

Actually add sc_cooldown.cpp

Add sc_cooldown.cpp

various cleanups

Void Ray should not take 160 seconds to reach its target.

Typo on t13 4pc buff

Reactivate murder of crows. Fix behaviors for frenzy, focus fire, and rabid.

Update Ret module. Still needs a good going over...

Oops, accidentally deleted a line in the previous commit.

WoW 5.0.1

SimC 501-10

Use QT 4.8.2 libraries

Create tag release-501-10

Bring back bleeding override.

Add all the new MoP foods.

Some tweaks to mage module and profiles

Add a "bool check_func( player_t**)" function point to buff_stat_t. When stat_buff_t::bump() is called if a check_func is defined for that stat it is checked to see if it should bump that particular stat or not.**

It's a hack, but add proper support for the Jade Spirit weapon enchant.

Tick minor version ( to 501-10 ).

GUI: if ( SC_BETA ) include all profiles, not just T13.

SimC 501-9

Turn off default use of murder of crows until the numbers are more accurate.

Add the Elemental Force weapon enchant. The melee version of it seems to have a 3 ppm from my testing. The caster version's proc rate seems to be between 6% and 8%ish. I chose 8% for now. Needs more testing.

Update some profiles to use the new precombat system.

Enchant System:

Code consistency

Minor comment improvement

Adjust mindbender coefficient to match latest values.

Introduce Murder of Crows. The implementation is still incomplete (e.g., it doesn't reduce the CD for targets below 20%) and the numbers are wrong (e.g., it hits like a treant), but the code and wiring of the summons, attacks, stats, actions, etc. should be correct.

Mage: Fix Mage Armor buff. ( It is now a 3500 rating increase, not 5% mastery ).

Absorb buff: Add some kind of absorb callback inside the absorb buff. Mage: Implement Incanters Ward.

Mage Water Elemental: Remove unused snapshot variables. Use state pointer passed along as a argument in impact_s, not execute state!

Potions to spell data.

One of the Hot Streak changes I made was unnecessary

Hot Streak and Heating Up actions take place on impact. Inferno Blast needs to be counted as a crit, not just have its damage calculated as a crit. Fingers of Frost actions happen on cast.

Water Elemental and Mirror Image fixes

Unique Gear: Add maintenance static_assert macro. Remove darkmoon card greatness.

Mage: Alter Time, use auto dispose.

player base actions with spell data: change inheritance from action_t to spell_t. stat_buff_t: parse A_MOD_ATTACK_POWER ( fixes ap+sp blood fury ).

stat_buff_t:

Move most custom events directly to where they are needed instead of exposing them in simulationcraft.hpp . Provide a interface for the generic event starts instead ( start_actionexecute(), etc. ).

Use spell data when creating the blood fury buffs.

Fix options parsing for imported player profiles.

Remove the definitions for all those warlock talents that are not implemented.

Mage profiles: Change Alter Time so it doesn't get canceled prematurely.

Alter Time: Allow manually reseting the state prematurely. Don't restart buff cooldowns when rewriting buffs.

Pets should not be benefiting directly from bloodlust (or other haste buffs) now that they get all of their owners' haste directly.

HTML report: Don't try to use wowhead spell tooltips if spell ID is zero. Use wowhead spell tooltips for buffs if they have spell data.

Don't use the "mh" suffix when naming main hand enchants, for less confusion among casters who might not even know dual wielding exists.

Updating Mage profiles -- first try at Alter Time actions

Remove crit reductions for Cata. All DoTs crit for 2x now.

Attack Mechanics: Implement new extra BLOCK-roll. Pure speculation on how crit-block works now.

Mage Alter Time: redo part of the concept and use a buff instead of event. This buff takes care of everything, which makes the interface to the user much simpler.

Druid: Force of Nature - Feral, how much of the druids AP do they get?

Fix trap_mastery and explosive_shot action script.

Fix hunter test profiles.

Druid: Force of Nature, balance version for now

Mage: Further flesh out alter_time

Mage: Write a rough concept for Alter Time.

Implement dual wielding for shivarra and wrathguard. Tuning numbers seem quite buggy on beta, but make the simulator match the current behavior for now.

Improvements to Mage profiles

Properly implement grimoire of supremacy, using separate pet implementations and real spell data.

Return true when successfully parsing OPT_MAP.

Allow whitelisted spells with general tree (tree 0) to be forcibly included in spell lists.

Abort simulator during setup, if we encounter an unknown option.

Whitelist spells for the grimoire of supremacy pets. Also add an optional parameter to autoextract.bat to specify a folder from which to copy Item-sparse.adb into the extracted data folder.

tick_action changes: Don't do extra update_flags snapshot inside the tick_action for each tick - this means all multipliers need to be defined in the main action. Adjust warlock and priest actions accordingly. Make arcane missiles use tick_action.

Turn back on exotic beasts code; use "ab::" in template for some compilers.

tick_dmg expression: Use stateless methods to get a much cleaner solution.

Mage: Introduce new precombat syntax.

Action stateless tick(): Save tick_dmg to dot -> prev_tick_amount, so that the tick_dmg expressions once again works.

Updating mage profiles

Water Elementals apparently benefit from Orc racial now

Invocation should halve MP5. Trying a method of preventing Arcane Missiles from benefitting from an extra Arcane Charge.

Implement exotic_beast to reduce pet ability CDs, and fix wild_hunt in basic attack to add 100% damage but charge 120% focus. Uptimes are now 19% for MM/SV and 46% for BM, which is in the ballpark.

Shaman: Feral Spirit scaling.

Make warlocks cast CoE if the debuff isn't already up.

Hunter pet action: Add special_ability flag.

Mage: some stateless bugfixes.

Mage: stateless!

Snapshot the stats of all pets when the player snapshots his own stats.

Fix pet spell hit (again).

Allow setting pets forcibly to quiet, overriding print_pets_separately option. Use for Warlock Wild Imps 1 to MAX.

Implement Invigoration correctly, including proc and gain tracking.

Priest: spirit increases attack hit as well.

Priest: Use new pet sp/ap conversion, bring back orc racial.

Pets: Move some functions to sc_pet.cpp, fix small error on pet_t::composite_spell_hit() Hunter: Use new pet ap/sp conversion, change claw_t to basic_attack_t.

Pets and enemies should not gain raid attribute buffs.

Priest: Implement Tier14 Heal effects.

Add some #ifndef NDEBUG conditionals to assert-if's.

Regenerate Shaman profiles

Shaman: Track auto attack sync / unsync on Wind Lashes also.

Shaman: Fix a serious bug in shaman_t::composite_spell_haste() Implement Primal Elementalist. Split Feral spirits into two distinct pets, reporting will have a single Spirit Wolf pet that contains the stats from both pets. Change Flurry and Unleash Wind to dynamically update swing speed when they proc.

Rename pet_t::coeff to pet_t::owner_coeff, add ap/sp scaling coefficients to it, and implement ap/sp scaling in pet_t. Ensure pets don't gain the sp multiplier raid aura.

action_state_t::copy_state: fix rtt comparison, add some debug info.

Remove spelldata_t effect1/2/3() Fix small compile error in sc_priest.cpp

Priest: Tick actions are dynamic. Tested for penance and divine hymn, assuming it ( or keeping it as it was ) for mind sear.

Move the typeid assert to action_state_t::copy_state(), effectively disallowing the mixing of state types.

Priest: Remove guardian pet layer.

Priest: Use new tick action for penance, penance_heal, mind_sear and hymn_of_hope.

Priest: Cleanup pet code.

Hunter: Adjust pet scaling.

Add an assert to ensure module authors don't implement a custom state type for an action without also using the same state for the tick_action.

Pets: Don't set AP and SP scaling of pets in pet_t, since this isn't a globally valid setting even with the new pet system. Do it directly in your class pet code.

Regenerate DBC data and add my cache file.

Improve destruction aoe action list.

Warlock: Pick up a few more triggered spell IDs from the spell data.

D'oh -- forgot I had disabled two profiles in mage_463.simc

Just making sure the most up-to-date Mage profiles are pushed

Pet composite attack power defaults to owner composite attack power. In addition, switch to new rules for other inherited properties; for example, crit was being double counted for hunter pets.

Incanter's Ward passive buff support

Add boolean action_t::direct_tick_callbacks which causes tick damage callbacks to be called when assessing direct damage.

stat_buff_creator: Attempt to automatically parse stat and amount from spell data.

Add boolean action_t::dynamic_tick_action which makes the tick action update state dynamically for each tick (using snapshot_flags instead of update_flags). Use this for the remaining warlock tick_actions (hellfire, immolation aura, infernal immolation, and felstorm).

Hunter: Fix Kill Command, use attack power from execute state.

Hunter: Add Kill Command multiplier.

Hunter: use the new rank string to find "Basic Attack" pet actions, and use this flag for the wild hunt bonus.

DBC: Re-export DBC data to pick up rank strings.

Inferno Blast always crits

DBC: extract rank string. Needs regeneration of dbc. Temporarily add -Wno-missing-field-initializers to Makefile.

Make the tick_action stuff actually work as advertised, copying state correctly. Also make it not add the foreground action's tick results to its stats.

Water Elemental gets 100% of Mage's spell power

Pyroblast buff should be consumed on cast, not on hit

Some Fingers of Frost fixes

Add a new feature for automatically executing a background action to serve as the tick of a foreground periodic action. This works only for stateless, but correctly propagates the state of the foreground action to the background action, including converting the tick multiplier of the foreground action to a direct multiplier for the background action.

Ice Floes should work now

Ice Floes stuff

Brain Freeze should proc on ticks, not on bomb application.

DBC extractor: Don't use tabs.

Hunter: More stateless adjustments, some code cleanup

Some more cached item data.

Hunter: Continue transformation to stateless.

DBC Generator: Add a lot of whitespace to the spell whitelisting section.

Whitelist Aimed Shot!

Some mage fixes

Implement "smooth" randomness for nightfall, as clarified by GC.

Go ahead and update pet haste scaling to match GC's latest clarification.

Fix pet spell hit - they get spell hit from expertise just like us.

Properly initialize warlock pet melee attack.

Pick up more things from spell data for warlocks.

Simplify warlock summoning.

Get rid of warlock_main_pet_t and warlock_guardian_pet_t.

Fix stupid mistake from r12644.

Small cleanups.

Warlock pets' melee swing timer is not reset or delayed by cast time spells, the swings are simply skipped if a cast is ongoing.

Make pet haste scaling more consistent with how it currently works.

Pets aren't gaining haste from temporary percentage-wise haste procs. Also, remove old haste/crit code from warlock pets.

Merge new pet scaling into pet_t. Remove class dependant coefficients ( mana, mastery, mana regen ). This can be better solved with inheritance on the pets that actually need this. Assume pet haste chooses from the highest owner haste, similar to crit.

Implement new pet scaling in pet_t, and update it according to latest info from GC.

Update new (unused) pet scaling stuff based on responses from GC plus the assumption that they won't screw over people with expertise racials.

Monk: Changed base regen to 13; updated tiger strikes; added refund to dodged/parried chi-using abilities

Correct logic for ember_react.

Partial bombardment fix

Hunter: Viper Venom, add cooldown duration.

Hunter: Serpent Sting, use spelleffect_data_t::trigger() to directly access the trigger spell.

Priest DP: roll the correct, unmultiplied dot tick damage to the new DP-dot.

Priest Devouring Plague: Change to ignite-like mechanic.

Slightly better trigger wiring.

Add viper_venom focus gains. Removed obsolete roar of recovery.

Shaman: Implement Elemental Blast. Fix certain stat buffs that were broken before. Make Fire Elemental spells benefit from Enhancement mastery. Implement T14 Set bonuses, all damage multipliers are additive. Allow Flurry to speed up / slow down remaining swing times. Correctly implement Flurry haste rating bonus. Fix Call of the Elements to not reset various cooldowns. Remove it from default action lists. Remove Stormlash Totem from default action lists until we get scaling numbers.

Serpent Sting Scaling Data: pickup ID automatically, use extre coefficient.

Use separate scaling spell for serpent sting so it now actually does damage.

Druid

Spellstorm damage only gets buffed by one eclipse, even if both are up

Hunter: Remove actions from the profiles, use default action priority list Cleanup hunter_t::init_actions so that all specs work with the default action list ( at least at level 85 ). Start using the new precombat list syntax.

New pet scaling: Slightly different interpretation on the wording of armor/hp. Add mp5 scaling.

Add code for the proposed new pet scaling.

After giving it a bit more thought, move TD back out of the wow-class structs. Make sure all of them only accept their respective class pointer as a source, instead of a player_t**.**

Hunter: Adjust ranged weapon check.

• Add a bunch of Mists enchants.
• Add Alchemist's Flask.
• Fix some warnings.

Delete obsolete hunter pet spells: owl's focus, wolverine bite, etc. Consolidated checking for equipped range weapon. Added attacks to profiles (though they all do the wrong damaged).

Druid

Refreshing Moon/Sunfire under eclipse seems to only update haste (tested), but not SP (tested), not the multiplier (tested), assuming not crit too (not yet tested)

Make dot refresh/extend use the action's snapshot flags by default.

Make the dot extend/refresh functions take state flags as an optional parameter instead of using the action's snapshot_flags. This makes sense because the state-snapshotting behavior of a refresh event tends to depend on what spell causes it, not what spell is being refreshed.

Improvements to Ice Floes. Needs some exclusion code.

Priest: Move minimal interval mechanic to priest_action_t and fix it's debug output.

Priest: Remove Dark Archangel. Use priest_action_t for inner will modifications.

Make quiet actions actually be quiet.

Make action_t::player casts static casts instead of debug-casts. Move player-class targetdata class into the player-class. Add

<class>

action_t for some classes

Make sure the talent string is recreated in the proper format before reporting happens.

Call virtual player_t::create_options() after a player was created and not in the constructor.

sc_sim.cpp parse_player: Fix pet parsing Priest: use static_cast in p(), call create_options() in priest_pet_t::priest_pet_t.

Non-harmful pre-combat spell_base_t now have zero tick-time .

The old touch of chaos melee swing mechanic is still in. Rename it to "melee" to avoid confusion.

PRIEST: Use talent_override based off number of targets.

Change jinyu_potion to jade_serpent_potion. Set SVN properties on the 463 mage profiles.

Glyph of Ice Lance should not apply a base damage multiplier

Jinyu potion renamed to Jade Serpent

Skeletal beginnings of Ice Floes; don't really know how to do the rest

Arcane should suck a lot less now that arcane charges are multiplying damage correctly

Support Glyph of Mana Gem (increases charges to 10). More messing with Mage profiles.

Mage: Mana gem, use sim_t::range function.

Tweak Priest profiles for AoE. Doesn't use the talent swap feature yet.

Enable the new MoP special scaling category.

Changing Mage profiles to a nrace without Mage bonuses until profiles are stabilized; then can reselect optimal race per spec.

Remove check_talent() from Mage spells

Prevent the hellfire self-damage from being applied as damage to the target.

Properly pick up mana costs per second from the DBC for channeled warlock spells.

Whitelist Druid Treant pet spell.

DBC: Add another cost per second field to spellpower_data_t.

Turns out drain soul costs twice as much per tick as you'd think.

Drain Soul is now much better than Malefic Grasp throughout the fight - seems like they just forgot to nerf DS.

action_t: Delay spell_data_t::not_found error reporting until execute(), to prevent things like actions+=/talentX,if=talent.talentX.enabled from causing an error.

Add new player option talent_override, which takes the name of a talent and enables it, disabling the currently-enabled talent of the same tier if needed.

Grimoire of Sacrifice changed. It is now the optimal Affliction talent for single target, while Demonology is back to using Grimoire of Service.

Remaining warlock changes from latest beta patch.

• Whitelist Tier 14 item set id's.
• Add Priest Tier 14 set bonuses
• Update Priest module for 15799.

Hunter: Activate module. All three specs and no-spec simulate fine with default action lists now.

Druid: Fix Fae Empowerment

Minor fixes: Fix Tear Armor spell id and delete flaming arrow (it's from T12).

Mage 463 profile improvements

Build number needs bumping too.

Initialized most(all?) spells and effects, cleaned up profiles a little, and got the hunter profiles to sim.

Slight improvement to demonology action list.

DBC data from build 15799, plus some updated warlock mechanics from same.

Tweaks to Mage profiles

Hunter: Add test profiles.

Create a new action flag, quiet, which will prevent the action from showing up in the sample action sequence and from being counted as an executed foreground action. It will also cause the quiet flag to be set on the action's stats object.

Support actors who have absolutely no action list.

Don't execute actions that have background = true, even if they're in the foreground_action_list. This allows more dynamic background-ing of actions, and is necessary for execute_pet_action to work in its current form.

Buff Creators: Move buff_toperator from buff_creator_basics_t to buff_creator_t.

Some improvements to Mage profiles; further changes on hold until Rune of Power regen checked out.

Cleaner fix for Frost Bomb

Add placeholder action: mage_bomb -- casts whichever bomb is found in talent spec

This should fix Frost Bomb's hasted cooldown.

Renaming Frost Bomb explosion functions for better report viewing.

Fix for Frost Bomb primary target damage. Secondary target damage currently disabled.

Add support for some Primal Diamonds

Some items added to the item database.

Fix Hunter compile errors.

Druid

Fae Empowerment: Get buff spells from the specialization spell instead of hardcoded spellid

Druid

Fae Empowerment: Now with spelldata Balance action list tweaks to new eclipse gain mechanic preplan_mushrooms now makes you start with wild_mushroom -> max_stack() mushrooms

Start adding MoP pet support. Redo compilation fix. Continuing cleanups.

Make the hunter module compile.

Hunter: Minor code cleanup.

Hunter: Remove unused variables.

Hunter: Small cosmetic changes.

Hunter: Move hunter_td_t into hunter_t. Add typedef for hunter_t and hunter_pet_t base.

Deletion of dead cata-code.

Start MoP conversion:

• move/add/delete talents and spells into MoP talents, spec-spells, glyphs etc.
• rename "cast()" to "p()" and follow that style throughout
• move Thrill of the Hunt to apply to all mana-costing attacks

Minor optimization.

Remove superfluous get_target_data() from action_t::create_expression() - it's done on demand now.

Remove superfluous void ray from demonology single target action list.

No sense in continuing the sim if a player has a buff expression referring to an unknown buff.

Make buff/debuff expressions fully dynamic- and multi-target friendly. Kill the custom target_haunt_remains expression, since it's no longer needed.

Allow expressions on the form target.targetnumber.foo.bar.

Merge the target_number action option into the old target option, using dynamic numerical targeting if the option is specified as a number and the traditional static targeting otherwise.

SimC 501-5

  • Make grimoire of service share a cooldown across all demons.

  * Generic bloodlust trigger has been changed to start 5 seconds into the fight (from target\_health\*25%)
  * Cataclysm Flasks / Food / Potions, Mists of Pandaria Flasks and Potions currently supported
  * Add support for pre-combat actions, adding option "precombat=1" in an action list removes the action from normal priority rotation, and uses it just before combat begins for the actor. Any "precombat=1" actions will automatically put the actor into combat after all of the pre-combat actions are executed.
  * Consolidate raid buffs into generic buffs/debuffs (also usable in expressions):
    * attack\_haste (5% attack haste)

  * Deprecate option "travel\_speed", use expression "travel\_speed" instead
  * Add a **very experimental** "cycle\_targets" action option which causes it to attempt to execute on each available target in turn instead of just the main target. This is suitable for multi-dotting, for example: "/corruption,cycle\_targets=1,if=!ticking" will keep corruption up on all available targets.
* Expressions
  * Change player resource expressions to "**resource**.regen", "**resource**.time\_to\_max",  "**resource**.max", "**resource**.deficit", "**resource**.max\_nonproc", and "**resource**.pct"
  * Add player resource expression "**resource**.net\_regen", returning (resource.gained -  resource.lost) / elapsed\_time
  * Add player resource expression "**resource**.pct\_nonproc"

  * Add "tick\_multiplier" action expression that returns the **current** tick multiplier for the action if it was applied at the moment
  * Add "cooldown\_react" action expression. Returns true if the reaction time for the action cooldown has elapsed, or is zero. Reaction time is initiated by an abrupt reset of the cooldown period.
* Spell query
  * Spell query now accepts an optional actor level option, specified by adding a "@**level**" suffix to the spell query
  * Add replacement spell information to spell\_query output
