They say not to change that which isn't broken, but sometimes if you want to things better, you need to make drastic changes. Following this philosophy, it's time to release a brand new version of magicsim, completely rewritten to be faster, more featured, more reliable, and better general usability. There are a lot of features here to be excited about:

  • Sim runs are saved now and can be reviewed at any time.
  • Sim runs can now contain multiple characters and will show percent differences in damages between characters.
  • A brand new set of SimC profiles modeled after Heroic Antorus created by Publik for better accuracy and performance.
  • Antorus classic composite has been optimized for significantly better performance.
  • Fixed-error sims are now active by default which should provide significantly better performance for most specs. Fixed-iteration sims are still available for more precise simming.
  • Direct support for controlling raid pantheon trinkets to better model personal empowerment procs.
  • The first SimC runner with native stat plotting support including a 3-D viewer to interactively plot DPS graphs across stat ranges. Implemented through SimC's reforge support and some open source 3-D libraries (Helix Toolkit and MIConvexHull).
  • Native support for editing crucible, tier, item level, and raid buffs.
  • Support for character imports from SimC addon, Blizzard Armory, or batched actor runs (from a list of SimC profiles separated by empty newlines)
  • As before, Magicsim is designed to automatically use the newest version of SimC directly from their daily builds.
  • ... however Magicsim also has a built-in updater now that can download and install new versions of Magicsim for you (with your permission)!
  • Better support for high-end CPUs including automatic thread guessing and a slider for concurrent SimC processes (especially relevant for multi-CPU machines).
  • HTML results are now also generated for each individual profile ran and can be viewed inside the corresponding folder inside savedResults.
  • Dungeon sims revisited to be substantially more accurate and hopefully a little bit faster (don't let the sim count scare you).
  • Supported for all DPS specs. There is a worthwhile caveat here: The efficacy of the models, especially the multitarget ones, heavily depends on the thoroughness of your respective class APLs. Not all APLs handle AoE and mechanics equally.
  • More to come.

Please report bugs to semicolondash#3014 on HowToPriest discord (https://discord.gg/HowToPriest) or on the handy github Issues section (https://github.com/phroph/magicsim/issues). The more information you can provide, the better (input, contents of sim run folder inside the "sims" or "results" folder (depending on the error, error messages, etc)).
