Raidbots Premium, Smart Sim, and Bigger Sims!
Added 2018-08-02 22:45:26 +0000 UTCI've launched some new stuff in the last few weeks! Here's a quick recap of what's new...
Raidbots Premium
You can now support Raidbots directly on the site itself, get 10% higher limits than when using Patreon, and have more flexible options for managing your subscription (choose 1, 3, or 6 month periods).
You can visit your Raidbots account page to take a look or read more about Raidbots Premium on the blog.
Smart Sim
Raidbots now defaults to "Smart Sim" mode which was directly inspired by AutoSimc. Smart Sim can run large Top Gear sims significantly faster and also provides more consistent results for all other sims.
The basic idea for Top Gear is to run some fast-and-loose sims on everything, remove poor performing set, increase the precision, and then do it again. The top performing sets will be run at high precision and the whole thing is way faster.
This is now the default mode that Raidbots runs in so you don't even need to do anything to use it.
Bigger Sims for Premium/Patrons
I've also increased the iteration cap for all Premium members and Patrons so you can run larger sims and include more gear at once.
For patrons, the new limits are:
Epic: 11 million (up from 2.6m)
Heirloom: 3.6 million (up from 1.3m)
Rare: 1.35m (up from 660k)
If you switch to Raidbots Premium, you'll get about 10% more than these numbers.
Ready for Battle for Azeroth
Raidbots is pretty much ready for all the new systems/gear/etc in BfA. Azerite Armor support is in Top Gear and I've updated all the databases. SimulationCraft has basic support for most everything but tuning will continue at a fast pace from the amazing SimC devs. As with any new patch, evaluate sims with a large grain of salt as things will take a while to stabilize.
Hope to see you in Azeroth!
