WoW Character Simulator & DPS Optimizers

Improving Your DPS

In World of Warcraft, there are many ways to go about maximizing your DPS. One of the simplest options is to find an online resource and use its suggested stat priority and talent build. This can be a great starting point, but high performers know there is no one‑size‑fits‑all solution—ideal stats and builds will change as your gear and objectives evolve.

There Is No One-Size-Fits-All Solution

Because DPS optimization is a fluid process, many players turn to tools like SimulationCraft (aka SimC) to figure out what works best for their character.

SimulationCraft is an incredibly powerful and well‑supported program that recreates the game in a virtual sandbox. It lets you set up specific scenarios—like raid bosses or Mythic+ dungeons—and then run them thousands of times to see which stat priorities and talent builds produce the highest DPS.

For those with a technical background, you can download SimulationCraft and run it on your own computer. While the setup and process can be complex, it’s worthwhile if you want a deep dive into theoretical optimization.

At Noxxic, we draw heavily on SimulationCraft for our guides and rankings. We introduced a Character Optimizer to make SimulationCraft data more accessible, helping you discover which talents, specs, or stat priorities best suit your character at any given time.

Pre-Configured Simulations and Features

We’ve worked hard to provide the power of SimulationCraft without all the complexity. That’s why we’ve built pre‑configured modes for the most common scenarios (Raids, Mythic+, Solo) and added quick‑access tools that handle frequent tasks.

For Single Target, Raid, Mythic+, Solo, and Pure AoE scenarios, you can quickly:

• Generate a Stat Priority
• Find your highest DPS Spec and Talent Build
• Sim for the best Cyrce's Circlet Gems

A Simpler Alternative to Complex Sim Options

Advanced configuration and in-depth setup in simulation tools can be time-consuming or overwhelming. We aim for our Character Optimizer to offer a more streamlined approach, and hope this simpler method helps you quickly see the benefits of simulations and discover the best stat priorities, builds, and gear for your character!

Note: While simulations provide a strong benchmark for potential DPS, real-world performance can vary due to encounter mechanics, group composition, and individual playstyle. We do our best to keep these sims updated for each new patch.

Character Cloud Simulations on Noxxic are a new and evolving project. We continue to refine them based on feedback, and they’re currently available to our Noxxic+ Patrons.
