Simulationcraft 10.2.7 Dragonflight (Official)

**UPDATE** This Simc was made for Wow Build 10.2.7.55261. Please note that Firestorm's build is 55664 however I could not find any official released source of Simulationcraft beyond build 55261 and therefor I could not compile and release this version myself. Please note any changes that might have occured between build 55261 and 55664. Altough I could not find any significant class/spec changes between these builds, it is still something to be mindful of. This build is official so you can either download it from here or go to the Simc website.

Here are patch notes from Blizzard:

Note that DR (aka Diminishing Return) scaling on secondary stats has been restored, this is due further tests being done on PTR and data showed it is present and working as intended at this time. Should this change, this program will be updated.

Simulationcraft is a free and open-source simulation (see FormulationVsSimulation) of WoW combat mechanics: it can simulate a fight with one or many players fighting one or many targets and produce detailed informations. It is usable either from a graphical user interface or from a command-line client (typically through configuration files).

Since Simulationcraft is a simulation, it will never give you the same numbers (the rng matters!): they will always vary but should remain close to the exact values you can observe in game (precision can be controlled and increased at the expense of computations times). You may also face intensive computations times and memory needs in some circumstances. Finally, at its core it was a command-line tool based on configurations files and the GUI was added lately and, while efficient, it is still rudimentary and dry.

However, because Simulationcraft is a simulation, it also has advantages over traditional, formulation-based, tools, such as spreadsheets or Rawr. Developing a formulation is like solving a vast and complex problem while developing is a simulation is like solving many simple problems. And it does matter for you, the end-user, especially in a world where tools are developed by a few benevolent people. Which ones? See below.

- Reliability: "easy" to develop, easy to verify. And we never have to do mathematical approximations or to ignore some interactions: all mechanics and interactions are spontaneously and genuinely reproduced. Bugs may arise of course but they tend to be quickly spotted and easily fixed. The most carefully formulation-based tools can still reach the same accuracy level but, too often, you have no idea about the level of accuracy of your tools and which approximations they did: you're left with a black box and rely on trust. And since the source code of those tools is hard to understand and to verify, no one may be brave enough to investigate them.

- Quickly updated: A simulation is easier to update: most of the times, you will be able to make simulations taking into account the changes made on the PTR long before they reach the live servers. Simulationcraft was able to do a decent job a couple of weeks after Cataclysm was out and was considered mature after 9 weeks. At this time, many class/spec combinations did not have yet have any robust and renowned formulation-based tool.

- Features-rich and highly configurable: The nature of Simulationcraft allows us to provide rich informations and offer you a broader range of features, to let you change your rotations, to simulate fights the way you want, to synchronize your cooldowns with certain events, etc... Simulationcraft has tons of settings you can play with.
