PROFILE

Hawkcorrigan

David Groelle developed and refined class simulation features for the simulationcraft/simc repository, focusing on Shaman mechanics and tier set systems over a nine-month period. He implemented per-spell overload handling, tier set bonus logic, and improved pet and buff calculations, using C++ and YAML to ensure simulation accuracy and maintainability. His work included targeted bug fixes such as correcting AoE overloads, stabilizing tick-based calculations, and preventing crash scenarios through defensive programming. By integrating CI/CD improvements and enhancing configuration management, David delivered robust, reliable simulation updates that improved DPS prediction fidelity and supported expansion readiness for end users and developers.

Jul 1, 2025

July 2025 — Monthly work summary for simulationcraft/simc. This period focused on delivering Shaman-specific enhancements and improving modeling fidelity to provide more accurate DPS projections for Elemental and Enhancement specs. Two primary feature clusters were completed: (1) Shaman tier set overhaul and 4-piece bonus mechanics, and (2) internal simulation improvements via new expressions and clearer naming. The work emphasizes business value by enabling more reliable tuning for end-users and faster, more realistic scenario planning.

Dec 1, 2024

Month: 2024-12. This month focused on refining simulations for the simulationcraft/simc repository, delivering targeted Elemental Shaman tuning and stability improvements and correcting data-generation logic for tier set data. Key outcomes include more accurate Elemental Shaman pet damage modeling, fixes for echo elemental expiration and Ascendance-related behaviors, CI PTR testing improvements, and a corrected data-generation list to remove unintended 4-set inclusions. These changes enhance DPS prediction accuracy, reduce patch validation time, and improve overall model reliability for end users and developers.

November 2024: Delivered targeted enhancements to Ascendance overload handling for elemental shaman spells in simulationcraft/simc. Introduced per-spell overload accounting with dedicated proc handlers and refined critical chance calculation to apply the TWW1 4pc bonus accurately. This work improves the fidelity of overload simulations, especially for elemental shaman AoE scenarios, supporting more reliable DPS predictions and gear/rotation decisions. Major bug fix included: AoE overloads during Ascendance corrected (commit 50fff1ad70e297657f1da17e0ce77f5e8661bc51, related to #9734). Technologies/skills demonstrated: refactoring for per-spell state management, proc-handler design, and precise crit calculation; code integration into the simc repository for maintainability and future extensions.
