Top Gear and New Patreon Level

I just launched Top Gear on Raidbots! It's now far easier to select a bunch of items from your bags and automatically compare all variations of them (requires latest 1.7.0 version of the SimulationCraft addon or the SimPermut addon).

I think the feature will be pretty awesome - it makes a lot of common gear comparison tasks even easier since it doesn't require manual input and also brings the complexity of setting up large trinket/legendary compares down to almost nothing. SimPermut and SimcTrinketComparison are addons that provide this kind of functionality but I'm hoping that Top Gear goes a little bit further and makes it even easier.

The big challenge with Top Gear is providing enough simulation time to compare all the items you want.  The amount of combinations of pieces of gear quickly explodes into huge numbers. I'm also looking at building additional tools to provide other useful constraints to make sure only sets you care about are being simmed (2/4 piece tier being the big one).

By default, the limit is 200,000 iterations (or 20 combinations at 10k iterations). This is generally enough to compare a few items in a bunch of combinations.

Patrons at Rare or above get an increasing number of iterations that should generally fit within their time limit. I've added a new tier, Heirloom, that gets double the time limit and 800k Top Gear iterations (as well as skipping the line and removing ads).  Folks at Epic and Legendary get a small bump to time limits and will now have a full 4x increase over the default (it was previously just a little over 3x) and corresponding iteration increases as well.

Please hit me up with any feedback! I'm usually in the Raidbots Discord and love to hear about ways to improve the site, bugs you run into so i can smash them, or just chat about WoW.

Happy simming!
