Sep 1, 2025

In September 2025, two focused work streams were delivered for simulationcraft/simc: Priest class codebase cleanup and Season 3 gear/item level tuning. The Priest cleanup removes dead code and obsolete logic, simplifying the Priest class modules by eliminating unused talent checks, buff management, and legacy spell-related paths. Season 3 gear/item level tuning updates item level caps across gear types for the TWW Season 3 cycle, includes the Turbo Boost integration, and adjusts Priest Shadow/Shadow Archon profiles to reflect the new item level. These efforts reduce technical debt, improve maintainability, and enhance the accuracy of gear modeling, enabling faster validation during patch cycles and more reliable simulation results. Demonstrates strong refactoring, configuration-driven tuning, and disciplined version control.
