Azeroth Survivors · game 0.139.0 · reproducible model

Top DPS builds by class

Mathematically ranked capstone builds from a reproducible model (not community tier lists). Mixed DPS = 70% wave + 30% boss. Run-averaged over 1401s with in-run upgrades. Wave density calibrated from Orion’s combat log (Flamestrike target clusters). Spell/talent/set numbers from game 0.139.0 community data tables.

Log calibration (Nov 2): Parsed WoWCombatLog-snap (1.5M lines, Oct 21–30). Sim length before audit: none (steady-state) → after audit: 1200s → after log: 1401s (median Mage ≥10min). Wave density was 8 ASSUMED; now ramp 12→80 (Mage Fire) / flat 40 (others) from measured FS avg targets. New #1 overall: Mage Pyroclasm + Inferno Flamestrike. See CHANGES.md + logs/parsed_summary.md.

In-run density+crit ramps fully modeled for Mage Fire; other classes use log-calibrated flat density=40.0 but still omit most spell-card stacking.

Formula

cast = damage_or_damage_total * targets_eff * dmg_mult * hit_mult * ((1-crit)+crit*crit_mult) * (1+echo); spell_dps = cast/cd_eff + free_cps*cast; cd_eff = cd/(1+cdr); mixed = 0.7*wave(density ramp 12->80 or flat 40) + 0.3*boss(density=1); run_avg = mean over p=0..1 of instant DPS at in-run progress p (T=1401s).

runMean of instant DPS at progress p = t / 1401s (21 samples); Mage Fire also ramps pack density 12→80
