Simming my Lock with gear I dont actually have

[Schaendwich]

Hey there,

I wanted to check out some things about replacing heroic non-set gear with lfr set-pieces for the setbonus (I dont have them yet, I am just curious). Simcraft can either import from Chardev, where some of the items I have just are not implemented (the slots are empty when i import my character there) or it can import from rawr. When I try to import my character with the downloadable rawr program I get an error and every time I try to click on gear the program crashes. So I just wanted to ask if there is any other way of achieving what I am trying to do!? Am I maybe doing something wrong with one of the two programs? help is very appreciated as always!

regards

Import your character from the armory, in the imported gear list replace the item ID and gems of your old item with the new one you want to sim.

But then my reforges are off, right?

So do some math.

So do some math.

Or create your sets on whatever programme, including reforges, and then manually put in the changes in SimC. If you're smart you'll copy the list on notepad so you can go back to it next time and not have to build and put it in again.

So what exactly do you want me to do? sim the character and add the dps I might have lost due to bad reforges? Somehow edit the reforges into my imported character? (if that is even possible?

You can edit it in. Example line from SimC BiS Affli profile:

shaskin_robes,id=87190,gems=320mastery_320mastery_180haste,enchant=80all,reforge=crit_mastery

Notice the end bit? Just use that same format on any piece you want to reforge. Just make sure you are precise about what you do, cause typo's will kill it.

aaahhh thanks, I didnt know that

That, or to be really simple you can use askmrrobot.com to import your character and make an item upgrade, optimize your reforges, and "export to simcraft" which would be easy.

Or import from WoWprofiles.com, edit your char there end then save it and import

Okay thanks again for the hints!!! The ask mr robot thing indeed seems the easiest, I added the gear I wanted and clicked on export. Now I have some lines about my gear but I dont know how exactly I should insert them into simcraft. Should I load my character from the armory and just replace the part about the gear? What about the gear summary? It would be still with the old values. Can I just erase or ignore it?

You could also try using http://chardev.org - no need to manually change anything in simcraft that way, but you do have to set up your character in chardev first.

Just erase everything in the import or simulate tab and paste whatever askmrrobot gave you and sim it. The program will be fine

Sadly that site isnt up to date with stuff..
When i import my char it doesnt add the Elegon wand and DMF trinkets.
I dont know why but i think he stopped working on the site. It was the best site in cata but not now in mop :<

[Schaendwich]

As I stated in my first post I tried chardev change my gear but it doesnt have 4-5 of my items (as aumi said). I finally got it working with doing what Regen said. Thanks again to everyone for your efforts, helped me out big time. Much love to you <3

This is what I use. You can export (or could, haven't tried in a while) to wowreforge.com to reforge your hypothetical profile, import back into chardev, then export into simc. Saved me a toooon of gold.
