Python script to create multiple profiles for SimulationCraft to find Best-in-Slot and best enchants/gems/talents combinations.
Don't hesitate to go on the SimcMinMax Discord in the #simpermut-autosimc Channel to ask about specific stuff.
AutoSimC works in two parts:
- Generating Permutations: Given a input.txt file and certain settings, a output .simc file is generated containing all possible permutations specified, filtered down to "valid profiles" fullfilling certain requirements. This output file can then be run with SimulationCraft.
- Simulating the generated profiles in a multi-stage process: To narrow the large amount of generated profiles into a small set of best performing profiles, a multi-stage simulation process is performed, in which each stage simulates the given profiles with increased accuracy to narrow the number of profiles in each stage, resulting in only a handful of final profiles with the best DPS.
You must have python (>=3.4) installed on you computer for this to work.
- You can download python at https://www.python.org/downloads/. During installation, select Add Python 3.x to PATH, so that python gets automatically added to your PATH environment variable.
- Download the project and extract it.
- Open input.txt and enter parameters depending on your character. Make sure your text editor encodes input.txt as UTF-8.
- Either install 7zip for auto download of nightly SimulationCraft, or edit settings.py to set auto_download_simc=False and set the simc_path.
- Edit settings.py for additional parameters (e.g. #legendaries, iterations, threads, fightstyle etc.)
- Run launch.bat or run 'python main.py' directly. See below for detailed options.
- You can use the -sim option to simulate directly with AutoSimC. Or you can feed to generated output .simc file into SimulationCraft yourself.
- You can also follow this how-to set it up [https://goo.gl/5d7BAM]

Python script to create multiple profiles for SimulationCraft to find Best-in-
Slot and best enchants/gems/talents combinations.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-i INPUTFILE, --inputfile INPUTFILE
Inputfile describing the permutation of SimC profiles
to generate. See README for more details. (default:
input.txt)
-o OUTPUTFILE, --outputfile OUTPUTFILE
Output file containing the generated profiles used for
the simulation. (default: out.simc)
-sim {permutate_only,all,stage1,stage2,stage3,stage4,stage5}
Enables automated simulation and ranking for the top 3
dps-gear-combinations. Might take a long time,
depending on number of permutations. Edit the
simcraft-path in settings.py to point to your simc-
installation. The result.html will be saved in
results-subfolder.There are 2 modes available for
calculating the possible huge amount of permutations:
Static and dynamic mode:* Static uses a fixed amount
of simc-iterations at the cost of quality; default-
settings are 100, 1000 and 10000 for each stage.*
Dynamic mode lets you set the target_error-parameter
from simc, resulting in a more accurate ranking. Stage
1 can be entered at the beginning in the wizard. Stage
2 is set to target_error=0.2, and 0.05 for the final
stage 3.(These numbers might be changed in future
versions)You have to set the simc path in the
settings.py file.- Resuming: It is also possible to
resume a broken stage, e.g. if simc.exe crashed during
stage1, by launching with the parameter -sim stage2
(or stage3). You will have to enter the amount of
iterations or target_error of the broken simulation-
stage. (See logs.txt for details)- Parallel
Processing: By default multiple simc-instances are
launched for stage1 and 2, which is a major speedup on
modern multicore-cpus like AMD Ryzen. If you encounter
problems or instabilities, edit settings.py and change
the corresponding parameters or even disable it.
(default: ['all'])
--stages STAGES Number of stages to simulate. (default: 3)
-gems [GEMS [GEMS ...]], --gems [GEMS [GEMS ...]]
Enables permutation of gem-combinations in your gear.
With e.g. gems crit,haste,int you can add all
combinations of the corresponding gems (epic gems:
200, rare: 150, uncommon greens are not supported) in
addition to the ones you have currently equipped.
Valid gems: ['150haste', '200haste', 'haste',
'150crit', '200crit', 'crit', '150vers', '200vers',
'vers', '150mast', '200mast', 'mast', '200str', 'str',
'200agi', 'agi', '200int', 'int']- Example: You have
equipped 1 int and 2 mastery-gems. If you enter <-gems
"crit,haste,int"> (without <>) into the commandline,
the permutation process uses the single int- and
mastery-gem-combination you have currrently equipped
and adds ALL combinations from the ones in the
commandline, therefore mastery would be excluded.
However, adding mastery to the commandline reenables
that. - Gems have to fulfil the following syntax in
your profile: gem_id=123456[[/234567]/345678]
Simpermut usually creates this for you. - WARNING: If
you have many items with sockets and/or use a vast
gem-combination-setup as command, the number of
combinations will go through the roof VERY quickly.
Please be cautious when enabling this.- additonally
you can specify a empty list of gems, which will
permutate the existing gemsin your input gear.
(default: None)
-l LEGENDARIES, --legendaries LEGENDARIES
List of legendaries to add to the template. Format: "l
eg1/id/bonus/gem/enchant,leg2/id2/bonus2/gem2/enchant2
,..." (default: None)
-min_leg LEGENDARY_MIN, --legendary_min LEGENDARY_MIN
Minimum number of legendaries in the permutations.
(default: 2)
-max_leg LEGENDARY_MAX, --legendary_max LEGENDARY_MAX
Maximum number of legendaries in the permutations.
(default: 3)
--unique_jewelry UNIQUE_JEWELRY
Assume ring and trinkets are unique-equipped, and only
a single item id can be equipped. (default: true)
--debug Write debug information to log file. (default: False)
-quiet Run quietly. /!\ Not implemented yet (default: False)
--version show program's version number and exit
Don't hesitate to go on the SimcMinMax Discord
(https://discordapp.com/invite/tFR2uvK) in the #simpermut-autosimc Channel to
ask about specific stuff.
You have to fill variables as it is on SimulationCraft.
If you want to add rotations, stance or others advanced SimulationCraft feature, add them with the "other=" field : Example :
other=initial_chi=4 for Monks
You MUST add "\n" between each lines to make a line break. Example :
other=initial_chi=4\nactions+=/stance,choose=fierce_tiger
For the gear part, simply copy the gear part of the SimulationCraft addon. If you want to test different gear, add the simulationcraft string of the gear separated with a pipe ( the caracter " | ") Example :
neck=,id=130234,enchant_id=5890,bonus_id=1762/689/600/670,gem_id=130220|,id=134529,enchant_id=5890,bonus_id=3413/1808/1507/3336,gem_id=130220
To specify Tier/Legendary set and item names, use the following syntax:
neck=T21--chain_of_the_unmaker,id=152283,enchant_id=5890
You can also use SimPermut to generate the string directly with the gear you have equipped and in your bag (See below).
Talent permutation: Just replace the talent row your want to permutate (talents 1, 2 and 3) with a 0 in your talent= string
You can/have to finetune your settings in the settings.py file:
- set min/max amount of tier-items and legendaries
- default number of iterations or target_error for each stage
- change type of fight (patchwerk, LightMovement etc.)
- and several more
Included is Analyzer.py, which uses the standard-simc-profiles for each class to generate a Analysis.json (in profiles-folder), which represents calculation data for each class/spec. It is used in the main-program to show the approximate calculation times, therefore it is only needed to be recalculated at major WoW- and Simcraft-updates, e.g. 7.2.5, and if you want to sim your tank- or healspec. Edit the Analysis.py accordingly.
Modules needed: marshmallow (pip install marshmallow) for generating json-files easier
SimPermut (On GitHub) allows you to extract a profile-set file to directly calculate the profiles with the items you have in your bags. Just copy the text you get in SimPermut and paste it in your input.txt file (erase what was already in it) and launch the script as described above.
