Ok, so its about time someone did, so on Friday, at 6ish pm BST, I intend to start development of a Mage DPS simulator. Before that time, I'm hoping the community can comment on the plan and suggest improvements/added functionality for Version 1.
What it will be/do :
A macro-heavy excel workbook
Offer a rudimentary soul calculator to specify which points will be active
Be independant of Focus
Run on a 0.1s tick duration
Offer 4 levels of variation for latency/skill/movement - currently planned as 20, 10, 5 and 1%
Offer fight lengths of 5 and 10 minutes
Provide an average DPS and variance from that average over (initially) 10 iterations
Count a spel'ls entire damage at the moment of cast
What it will not do:
Tell you the best DPS spec
Include stat priorities.
What it may do/what I'm concerned about getting right/What I need:
Talent/Spell icons!
Provide a rotation output - depends on how easily I can format it
Allow for raid buff customisation
Buff expiry during spell casts
Buff changes during DoTs
Charge management - one of my biggest concerns is getting this right
