How to Generate Stat Weights with SimC

How to Generate Stat Weights with SimC (by Marok):

1. Download the latest version of SimulationCraft here (I recommend downloading the latest nightly build [first link]): http://www.simulationcraft.org/download.html

2. Install the SimulationCraft AddOn: https://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/simulationcraft

3. Log in to your character, make sure you have all your proper gear equipped, and in chat type: /simc

4. Copy all of the text from the box that pops up and open SimulationCraft.

5. Go to the "Simulate" tab and paste that text into the window. At this point you should have something like this: https://i.imgur.com/NdsOlyJ.png

6. Go to the "Import" tab, open the "Sample Profiles" tab, and then double-click any entry of your spec under "T19". For example, because I'm simulating my Arms Warrior, I would double-click "Warrior_Arms_T19M.simc".

7. That will open a new tab under the "Simulate" tab. Under your newly opened tab, select and copy the entire APL (action priority list). It starts with "# This default action priority list is automatically created based on your character." and ends where you see the gear list.

8. In your original "Simulate!" tab, paste that APL inbetween your character info (generally ends with "artifact=") and your gear list. Here's an example of what your tab should look like at this point: http://pastebin.com/hdadzg6X

9. Go to the "Options" tab. Open the "Scaling" tab, check "Enable Scaling", and then check off all the stats that are relevant to you. As Arms, I would select: Strength, Crit, Haste, Mastery, and Versatility.

10. Go back to your original simulate tab and click "Simulate!" at the bottom right.

11. Once that simulation completes, a report will open up where you can see your generated stat weights (it also gives you a Pawn string you can import).
