Change with override.ignore_player_arpen_debuff=0 GUI: changed armor debuffs to dropdown menus with 0-5 instead of checkboxes Agents: improved default actions sim now runs exactly how many iterations you ask for regardless of dividing by number of threads PTR 1.3 use ptr=1 flag note: talent hierarchy still reflects live. That means you load your talents using a live url, but the code will treat the positions as if they have changed per the PTR. added 6/6/2012 PTR changes for Mercenaries. use ptr=1 flag. note: talent hierarchy still reflects live added 6/6/2012 PTR changes for Snipers / Gunslingers Bugfixes Agents/Smuggler: orbital strike can now crit Channelled Weapon abilities (eg: unload, series of shots, etc) now check hit/miss per attack, not per group of attacks Merc: last tick of unload offhand benefits from barrage proper default scaling options for role_dps sage/sorc: reduce telekenetic throw double dip to 2 ticks (as it works on live) Operative/Scoundrel: lethality talent now correctly gives 1 crit per point instead of 2 assault cannon can now be loaded (but commandos can not be simmed) SimC 120-2 Fixed mercenary bug that allowed consecutive unloads added cunning and aim scaling checkboxes to GUI SimC 120-1 Implemented Operative/Scoundrel, Concealment/Scrapper and Lethality/Dirty Fighting Implemented Mercenary Arsenal add more Exotech/Rakata stims Fix bug that was causing energy damage proc trinkets not to work.

Fix shield rating and absorb rating parsing from Ask Mr.Robot GUI: adding heat signature and sundering strike raid debuffs previous PTS changes now live SW:TOR 1.1.5 SimC 115-5 Bugfix: sequence actions will no longer "lock up" when running movement scenarios. SimC 115-4 You can override the Advanced Class used when importing a Mr. Robot profile with the syntax mrrobot=<id>|<advancedclass>. This is useful for importing, e.g., a Sith Sorcerer profile as a Jedi Sage. Shadow|Assassin: Bugfix: Crackling Charge was incorrectly increasing Surging Discharge. Update Deception|Infiltration BiS skills to reflect the Crackling Charge fix. SimC 115-3 Simc can now import character profiles from Ask Mr. Robot's character builder. This feature (as well as Mr. Robot's API) is in beta, but we'll try to closely track changes as they occur. in a .simc file, mrrobot=<id> will import the character at http://swtor.askmrrobot.com/character/<id>. There's a new "MrRobot" sub-heading on the "Import" tab in the GUI, you can navigate around MrRobot's character builder and load the currently visible character with the Import button. (It is currently not possible to log in to AskMrRobot in this web view.) If you want a pre-built profile to start from, import an Assassin/Sorc from the BiS tab and follow the origin URL in there to its MrRobot profile. Please report any problems importing profiles - including the URL of the problem profile - on our issues list. The "Max" column in the Abilities table is gone from reports. In its place, we have "Avg" for average direct damage per execution and "T-Avg" for average damage per tick. The expression functions <resource>_regen and time_to_max_<resource> are now <resource>.regen and <resource>.time_to_max for consistency with the other resource functions. <resource>.regen now includes regeneration from temporary buffs. Shadow|Assassin: Jedi Shadow is now officially supported. SimC 115-2 Set bonus overrides (set_bonus=XX and set_bonus=no_XXX) are now correctly passed through into the output profile. Sage/Sorcerer Improvements to Telekinetics|Lightning and Momentum|Conduction default action lists. Update BiS gear from work in the thread at SW.com.

SimC 115-1 PTR mode models the PTS 1.2 changes. Set bonuses can now be turned on and off with the player option set_bonus=<name> and set_bonus=no_<name>. Statistics Level is now controllable via the GUI. Add conditional expression functions <resource>.max, <resource>.deficit and <resource>.pct to return the maximum value (max), difference between current and maximum value (deficit) and current fraction of maximum value (pct) for the named resource. Notably, health.pct replaces the old special-case health_pct. Sage/Sorcerer Removed the psychic_projection_dd_chance/lightning_barrage_dd_chance options. Add option disable_double_dip=1 to disable double-dipping the benefit of the PP/LB buff. Fix Telekinetic Throw/Force Lightning consuming Recklessness at beginning of channel instead of the end. Shadow/Assassin Drop Unearthed Knowledge from the Balance|Madness profile talents and Project|Shock from their priority lists. Using Project|Shock even with the talent is a DPS loss (per discussion in the SW Shadow/Assassin thread.

SimC 114-1 Add support for Knotor talent builder URLs. Global Cooldown: is no longer reduced by Alacrity for spells with time_to_execute = 0 instead of base_execute_time = 0 ( eg. instant Chain Lightning does NOT have its GCD reduced ) Implement dd/td_standardhealthpercent_min/max ability variables and ranks to automate base damage calculations. Implement StandardHealth Damage and Heal tables. Simulations of characters under level 50 will work now.

Add base value for primary and secondary attribute. Shared cooldown for all damage_discharge procs with the same cooldown ( relics ) Bring back scale factors rankings Add /use_relics action which tries to execute all relics.
