PROFILE
Navv
Navv worked extensively on the simulationcraft/simc repository, delivering core Shaman class features, bug fixes, and simulation fidelity improvements over a twelve-month period. He engineered complex buff and proc systems, refactored class logic, and implemented configurable resource and RNG models to better mirror in-game mechanics. Using C++, Python, and shell scripting, Navv centralized effect parsing, enhanced reporting, and improved CI/CD reliability, including macOS release automation. His technical approach emphasized maintainability and accuracy, with robust debugging and cross-platform support. The depth of his work enabled more precise DPS modeling, reduced edge-case bugs, and streamlined future feature onboarding for the simulation platform.

Apr 1, 2025April 2025 monthly summary for simulationcraft/simc: Focused on reliability and user experience improvements in core proc logic. Implemented stabilization for Molten Thunder by recalculating the base proc chance on every attempt, replacing the previous decaying model. Added state tracking to monitor consecutive proc failures and ensured an automatic reset path to keep proc probability consistent across diverse scenarios. This work enhances the predictability of Shaman damage simulations and reduces variance in output data, enabling faster and more accurate tuning decisions for players and developers alike.

Feb 1, 2025February 2025 — Shaman-centric refactor and 11.1 readiness in simulationcraft/simc. Delivered a centralized parse_effects pipeline for Shaman effects across Elemental, Enhancement, totems, and pets, enabling consistent behavior and faster onboarding of new effects. Migrated Maelstrom Weapon processing into the shaman_action_t module for clearer responsibilities and easier testing. Implemented Flowing Spirits for 11.1 with refinements, including single Flowing Spirit proc per Primordial Storm and Awakening Storms stacking up to 4 for Enhancement. Delivered 11.1 balance tweaks (Primordial Storm melee, Lightning Rod multiplier) and targeted bug fixes (Alpha Wolf damage, Voltaic Surge multiplier, Hot Hand interaction). Updated CI to address Ubuntu 20.04 deprecation to keep building reliably. Added Crash Lightning passive for Enhancement TWW2 4PC and other minor refinements. This work improves simulation accuracy, maintainability, and readiness for future Shaman features while reducing risk in CI and releases.
