How do I Sim My Character in BfA

[fandrolin]

Hey guys,
Returning player here, I quit around middle of MoP and really digging leveling in BfA so far. I wanted to enter dungeon content prepared.
I watched some streams and when I asked about stat priority to focus they always tell me to sim my character.
Is there a quick and up-to date guide on how to do this? I've seen some videos but they are like 4 years old videos for Legion expansion.

Here's a quick guide that I've found helped me a lot (also goes over how to configure Pawn to show upgrade %):

There is also a pretty long and detailed guide over at Icy-veins (doesn't go over Pawn setup, but does explain raidbots part pretty in-depth):
How to use Raidbots to sim yourself

To stay on the top of your game, you can also join the class Discords and whenever a new hotfix is deployed, you get the APL within a few hours to sim yourself.
Class Discrods can be found on the Reddit Wiki:

1.) download simulationcraft addon:
https://wow.curseforge.com/projects/simulationcraft

2.) type: /simc

3.) copy the text

4.) go to www.raidbots.com select stat weights

5.) put in your copied simcraft data

6.) get your stat weights

7.) downlaod pawn and put the string that raidbots gave you in and equip your best gear

Is there a way to sim azerite traits without selecting them? Like can I put on a new azerite piece I just got, and run a few sims to determine what the best trait would be?

Yes, you use "top gear" on raidbots and then in the screen selected all of the traits you want to sim.
