This default action priority list is automatically created based on your character.

It is a attempt to provide you with a action list that is both simple and practicable,

while resulting in a meaningful and good simulation. It may not result in the absolutely highest possible dps.

Feel free to edit, adapt and improve it to your own needs.

SimulationCraft is always looking for updates and improvements to the default action lists.

Executed before combat begins. Accepts non-harmful actions only.

Reproduction Steps:

Ensure single target is set in options > globals > target and tanking options. Import character from armory. Click Simulate. Look at damage sources pie chart. Blizzard exists.

[vituscze]

Probably caused by player skill being set to Good.

[thepaan]

The player skill being set to good should not mean a random spell outside the rotation is used...

[Collisionc]

This is how the player skill system works. We have false positive (use an ability when you shouldn't) and false negative (don't use the ability when you should) rolls, and false positives cause this.

However, Blizzard should probably be blacklisted from being used accidentally, since it's channeled and requires clicking the ground.

[Collisionc]

Fixed so blizzard cannot be accidentally used.

[vituscze]

We actually removed the blacklist in some commit because Blizzard is casted and with the new 7.1 [@cursor] macros, it's possible it could be cast by mistake.

[Collisionc]

oh, well, it probably shouldn't have a full channel at the very least.

[vituscze]

There is no channel anymore, you either cast it or don't. It works kinda like Rain of Fire before they made it instant.

[Collisionc]

Ooohhh. I'm so out of touch with mage. Ok, I'll revert.

[vituscze]

I mean, it's probably fine either way.

[Collisionc]

Would you say it's less likely to be used accidentally than other spells? I can set it so that the false positive chance is half what it normally is for only blizzard.

[vituscze]

That's hard to say, really. I checked other similar spells (Flamestrike, Rain of Fire, Earthquake) and none of them have ignore_false_positive set to true.

[Collisionc]

That's just because we haven't considered doing this before. :)

[vituscze]

Before 7.1 I'd say yes, because you have to click twice. After the cursor macro condition, it's not really all that clear. But yeah, it needs a macro before you can mess it up, half of what it normally is sounds fair.
