Compare like with like: this sim is , so compare it with a fight like that

Pick a Mythic+ dungeon and key level to see your sim beside the 3 highest-DPS logs of your spec there, and your own best timed run.
Casts
No timed run of this dungeon found for this character on Warcraft Logs, so only the top logs are shown.
Your sim vs the top 3 logs (average, hover for each) and your own best timed run.
"In combat" leaves out walking and waiting between pulls, so it compares the rotation itself. A longer bar = that spell is a bigger part of the damage.

How to sim your character
Why sim?
Hitting a target dummy swings 10–30% from luck alone, while most gear or talent choices are worth 1–2%. A sim plays thousands of fights with your exact gear and talents and averages out the luck, so you get a trustworthy answer in seconds.
1 · Get your character in
- Install the SimulationCraft addon.
- In game, type /simc. A window with text opens.
- Press Ctrl+C (it's already selected), then paste it on the Sim page.
Re-copy it whenever your gear or talents change; the sim only knows what you paste.
2 · Pick the right sim
| SimpleSim | “How much damage do I do?” Pick Mythic+ or Raid and go. Start here. |
| Top Gear | “Which of my items should I wear?” The one most players need; tick the bag items to compare. |
| Droptimizer | “Where should I farm?” Sims every drop from a raid or dungeon and ranks where your upgrades are. |
| Talent Compare | “Which build is better?” Compares your saved loadouts side by side. |
| Stat Weights | Mostly skip it. It's easy to misread; Top Gear answers the same question directly. |
3 · Settings that matter
- Raid: Patchwerk (a standing-still boss), 5 minutes, and the number of bosses up at once.
- Mythic+: either several pack sizes (SimpleSim does 1/3/5/8), or your actual route: in Advanced pick M+ - Your MDT route and paste the route from Mythic Dungeon Tools.
- Leave everything else on default. For spec-specific advice, your class Discord (links at the bottom of every page) pins the recommended settings.
4 · Reading results
- The ± number is the sim's margin of error. If two options are within each other's ±, treat them as equal.
- Upgrades under about 1% are nice but rarely worth big effort or gold.
- Hover the “DPS over time” chart to see what your damage was made of at that moment.
Adapted from Icy Veins' How to sim your WoW character.
Bonus roll planner where to spend your bonus-roll tokens
A bonus roll gives you one random item from that boss or dungeon's loot table (for your loot spec) at the Great Vault item level of that content, and items you already rolled there leave the pool. So the smart spend isn't "the boss with my best item", it's the source where a random pull is worth the most:
value per token = ( Σ gain of items you still want ÷ items left in the pool ) ÷ token cost
Season 2: 1 token per roll, raid boss or dungeon. Rolls pay out Heroic raid → Myth 1/6 (318), Normal → Hero 1/6, Raid Finder → Champion 1/6, Mythic → Myth 6/6, +10 dungeon → Myth 1/6.
DPS · from a Droptimizer
Run the Droptimizer with Sim for: Bonus rolls (raid or dungeons), then open it here or press Plan bonus rolls on the result.
Droptimizer
Healers · from QE Live
SimulationCraft can't sim healers. QE Live can: run its Upgrade Finder with your /simc string, copy the report link, paste it here. ReadyCheck reads that one report and maps each item to its boss or dungeon.
Method from SlowYourRoll by pabulum (MIT). Healer scores come from QE Live by Voulk.
Loading…
Value per token = (Σ gain of items you want ÷ items left in the pool) ÷ tokens.
Mark items you own (a roll would be a dupe) or already rolled there (they leave the pool). Marks are saved in this browser.
This Droptimizer simmed items at their drop level, but rolls pay out at the vault level. Re-run it with Sim for: Bonus rolls for exact values.
This QE report is from before QE scored bonus-roll payouts, so items use their drop level.
Nothing here is an upgrade for you at the roll's item level: save your tokens (or check another difficulty).
