Constellations Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.1.6

by: Solinur [More]

With the new CP v2.0 system, there won't be any update to Constellations anymore.

Dependencies

None

Description

Distributing your CP to optimize your DPS can be a rather complicated affair. While browser based CP calculators are available, they still require you to get a parse, analyse it and enter the data manually.

This addon aims to simplify this process by automatically reading a Combat Metrics parse and enter all data automatically.

It then attempts to calculate a better CP distribution and shows your original and new damage factor.

Instructions:

Open Combat Metrics or the Champion Point Menu. The Constellations window will then open as well.
On the first tab in Constellations you need to enter the ratios of the various types of Damage you cause.
If you want to import a parse from Combat Metrics, browse to a fight and press the import button in the Constellations Window.
Don't forget to adjust your "Damage Bonus %" value, as this isn't determined automatically.
You can also select units (e.g. only the boss) in Combat Metrics so damage to other targets gets neglected.
Alternatively you can enter everything manually.
On the second tab you can edit the original CP composition. For new Combat Metrics Parses (since 0.7.4 on 20th of June) the CP composition is saved, so it will be restored on import. Otherwise your current CP distribution is preset.
When everything is set, press the calculate button on the 2nd tab.
If the new damage factor is higher (indicated by green text color) a better CP distribution has been found.

Current Limitations:

The addon can not automatically detect your Damage Done values. You need to set it yourself.
The addon can not set any CP's, you only get shown what would be optimal.
Some abilities may be missing from the database, which means they won't be automatically imported. A debug message will hint at these abilities. Please report them here, so I can implement them in the future.

Version 1.1.6

Added a few missing abilities. Thx to yzanas and dg00des for the reports.

Version 1.1.5

API Bump to Markarth (100033)

Version 1.1.4

Added some missing data. (Thx to dhomhnuill and justme for reporting them)

Version 1.1.3

API Bump to Stonethorn (100032)

Version 1.1.2

Added missing data for Force Pulse (splash effect) and Flying Blade (second hit).
Increased DPS slider range to 200k.

Version 1.1.1

Added missing abilities: Puncturing Sweeps (thx @ daydreamr) and Stone Giant (thx @ migueltorres).

Version 1.1.0

Did some improvements to the optimization routine, which should now get a result faster.
In some cases not all CP are used (the result is still good), which will be displayed below the results.
Added a toggle to enforce the "Exploiter" passive of the Ritual constellation. Use this to see if a better result with Exploiter can be obtained.
Minimum/Maximum values of Spell Erosion and Piercing should now be followed, the only exception is when points for Exploiter are required.
Updated Vampire and Werewolf abilities for Greymoor.
Added a few Synergy abilities, based on best guesses (Don't want to bother anyone testing this with me, since those abilities are usually barely relevant in the overall damage composition).

Version 1.0.0

Added better display of results including percentage increase, DPS increase. In case you don't want to import a fight, the base DPS can be set on first page.
Added some limited support for Exploiter passive.
A few Notes on that:
When one of the investigated CP combinations fulfills requirements for the exploiter passive, it will now be attributed with the appropriate result that includes the (averaged) damage bonus.
The uptime of the required Off-Balance buff will be read from the imported data but can also be set on the first page. Default is the current maximum uptime. Keep in mind that in order to precisely attribute the effect, a reasonable estimation of "Damage Bonus %" on the first page is required.
The way the optimization works, does not always lead to it being checked. In order to force exploiter to be checked, you can set minimum and maximum poits in Thaumaturge to 75.

Version 0.4.18

Added Aegis Caller

Version 0.4.17

Checked and where necessary updated Templar abilities.
Updated Necrotic & Mystic Orb abilities (Thx to Parth for reporting this).

Removed LibAddonMenu dependency since it is not actually used.
Code cleanup and small fixes

Version 0.4.3

API Bump to Summerset (100023)
Update LAM to r26

Version 0.4.2

Added ability data for Summerset. This required several hours of tedious work. Luckily @Latin did most of this work for me, for which I'm very grateful. If you are on US maybe consider sending hi, a little donation.

I found an issue in the calculation formula and fixed it. I checked your case and now it indeed puts points into Master-at-Arms

So what you mean is before they reach rank 4, do not bother to post here the reference, but once they reach rank 4 do it ? (i am not playing stupid i guess my french english is getting a wall right now lol)

Thanks

It's fine to post them, I will eventually implement them. The thing is I can't get those skills easily since on PTS It's usually rank 4 or I need to start playing all kinds of classes - don't have time for that

.

I wish I could automate this somehow, but the example you posted below is actually quite good. Two Damage Components but same name. One is the initial hit, the other one is the DoT. WIth a bit of work I can figure out which it is and implement it on the basis that it has the porperties as the rank 4 ability, but sometimes I can't. In that case it would be cool if someone could point out which id is which.

May be this can help you

Are these Abilities levelled to max rank? (rank 4)

Rank 3 for me almost 4.

So by your question i guess that Constellations is only for max skilled and build ? if that is, then may be put a little alert so people dont use it earlier

I think I mentioned it in the description.[/quote]

I still have to go trough the monster sets. Force pulse should work though. Is it rank 4? Because for now there is only support for rank 4 abilities.

Seems that the "10%" is calculated after any target debuffs, but before your own penetration, so all your destro staff skills/attacks would have an extra 1.8-1.1ish penetration depending on the targets debuffs, and that could be significant if nearly half your damage falls under that category.

Great addon

No for now no resistance/penetration is accounted in any way, so you have to calculate and estimate the average penetration. If you have more then 40% of the time the maximum penetration active (usually 18200 in trials) I'd recommend setting it to 18200 as overpenetration will reduce effectiveness (by that 40% or more) of any additional penetration.

I will work on introducing some sort of penetration metric into Comba Metrics as soon as I have time.

It should definitely be somewhere between 20-30s I think. At least that's what all the other CP calculators would suggest.

For all Physical weapon attacks I apply the modification of Mighty, Master-at-Arms and Physical Weapon Expert. At least I think I do. I'll have a look. Can you maybe provide screenshots of the two tabs after pressing calculate?

Donations

First of all: I neither need donations for living, nor do they affect my work on my addons.
I usually create them in my free time for myself and my friends to learn about the game and improve my performance in my PvE endeavours.
Nevertheless money can always be spend on fun things or to help out a less fortunate guild mate with a new mouse or headset so we can continue to have fun with this game.
