Over six months, Flapjack831 developed and optimized Shaman Enhancement combat simulations for the simulationcraft/simc repository, focusing on Action Priority List (APL) scripting, profile design, and rotation logic. Using C++ and SimC scripting, they engineered data-driven AoE scaling, refined proc and spell mechanics, and introduced new profiles for multiple talent builds and expansions. Their work included algorithmic improvements for rotation efficiency, gear and consumable modeling, and robust bug fixes to ensure simulation accuracy and determinism. This depth of engineering enabled more reliable DPS predictions, streamlined tuning, and expanded coverage for both players and developers seeking high-fidelity game performance analysis.
In August 2025, delivered core Shaman Enhancement coverage for SimulationCraft (simulationcraft/simc) with two major workstreams: new Season 3 profiles and stability-focused APL improvements. The work enhances simulation accuracy, expands profile coverage for diverse builds, and strengthens reliability for tuning and decision-making in Season 3.

2025-05 focused on Shaman work in simulationcraft/simc to improve fidelity, performance, and gear decision support. Key changes include APL and profile optimization for Shaman Enhancement (refactors and timing condition improvements for AoE and Totem usage), and gear-related upgrades across simulations. Respectively, bug fixes ensured accurate crafted gear itemization and correct bonus IDs. Overall, these efforts improve simulation reliability, enable better gear optimization, and reduce risk of mis-modeling. Commit-level traceability provided via targeted changes across multiple commits.

April 2025: In simulationcraft/simc, delivered targeted Shaman rotation improvements and a reliability fix that enhance model accuracy and decision-making for players. Key features delivered: Shaman Enhancement APL optimization for primordial_storm usage by aligning Maelstrom stack requirements and cooldown considerations, improving rotation efficiency (commit 6f943fe19677f1802a44b2da66d3fd6b4448a07c). Major bugs fixed: Surging Totem now always hits by setting default miss chance from 0.1 to 0.0, increasing simulation determinism (commit 75d1de2c92a7eac3b4a88898b80aa29d9e93a84c). Overall impact: greater accuracy of DPS estimates and more stable benchmarks for Shaman rotations, enabling better tuning decisions and faster iteration on balance changes. Technologies/skills demonstrated: algorithmic optimization in APL logic, edge-case handling in hit calculations, and commitment to regression-safe changes with clear commit traceability.
