WoW Forever Sim: Quick Sim and Best Gear from your addon export
Runs on the MythicSim Rust engine, open source under the MIT licence. It began as a port of our Go fork of wowsims/forever, with thanks to the wowsims authors and ElliotWood.
Common questions
What do I paste?
The JSON the MythicSim addon gives you in the Forever client, with your class, race, talents, professions and equipped gear. The retail /simc addon doesn't exist for Forever. A paste in WoWSims Exporter format also works, though that addon doesn't load in the Forever client.
Where do I get the MythicSim addon?
On CurseForge as MythicSim - Forever Sim Exporter (curseforge.com/wow/addons/mythicsim-forever-sim-exporter), or as a zip from the how-to panel on this page. It's free and works in every game language.
Can I sim without the addon?
Yes. Choose Build a character, pick a class and spec, then change race, talents and gear. It starts from the spec's tier list reference build (dungeon and crafted gear, both trinket slots empty), so any change you make is measured against the tier list number. Best Gear works on a built character too.
Which specs can be simmed?
Every DPS and tank tree of the nine Forever classes: Balance, Feral Cat and Feral Bear Druid, Hunter, all three Mage trees, Protection and Retribution Paladin, Shadow Priest, Assassination, Combat and Subtlety Rogue, Elemental and Enhancement Shaman, all three Warlock trees, and DPS and Protection Warrior. The talent tree selects the spec; Feral Druids choose Cat DPS or Bear tank after pasting. The healing trees (Holy Paladin, Holy and Discipline Priest, Restoration Shaman and Restoration Druid) sim their healing per second (HPS), each heal less the share real healers overheal with it in Forever dungeon logs from before launch.
Can I change the rotation or fight settings?
Yes. Fight length and target count are on the form. Advanced settings adds a custom fight length, iterations, the spec's other rotations or your own, raid buffs and consumables, and a timeline and stat weights for Quick Sim.
What does the sim assume?
Full raid buffs and consumables (no world buffs, since they don't work in Forever raids), the standard rotation for your tree, one raid-boss target and a two minute fight with some variation. The boss is simmed at level 63, three levels above the level 60 cap. The sim doesn't read buffs or consumables from your character.
How accurate is it?
Talent values and mechanics are still being checked against the live game, so numbers can shift as fixes land. Every result page shows the engine build it ran on.
Can I compare gear from my bags, or gear I don't have yet?
Yes. Choose Best Gear, then select items from your bags (MythicSim addon 0.3.0 or newer exports them) or add any item by name or item ID with Add an item to compare. Up to six items are compared in every valid combination with your equipped gear, up to 64 gear sets per run. An added item takes the enchant of the piece it replaces when it can hold it. An unsupported equipped item blocks the comparison, because your baseline DPS would be off. For dungeon and raid drops you don't have yet, choose Droptimizer and pick where you could run: every drop that fits your character is simmed on its own.
