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 0.4.15
  • Added a few Updates to abilities recently introduced or changed. Thanks to LiquidPony and iiJonno for reporting them.

Version 0.4.12
  • API Bump to Scalebreaker (100028)

Version 0.4.7
  • API Bump to Murkmire (100025)

Version 0.4.0
  • Added crit damage done and penetration to the values retrieved from Combat Metrics on import.
  • Added button to reset detailed penetration data which is used after import from Combat Metrics

but when i open the cp menu this addon doesnt open, am i missing something?

edit:

got it working but have another question, when the constellation window is open it only shows the 3 Mage Constellations and not any of the Thief or the Warrior ones. i got points in all 3 sections.
At the moment only the mage part is supported. Everything else has nothing to do with damage done an would thus require different considerations for the distribution.

Not yet, but since this is a synergy it's tough to test.

Yes, those need to be added manually. I'll have a look and add it if its not too complicated.

Thanks!
That value is for the targets base resistance before any debuffs. For the Trial Dummy you should lower it (or increase your penetration).

(Mabe I really should look into CMX correctly tracking and transfering the debuffs to Constellations or at least have a button to quickly set trial dummy values.)
That's great, thanks! I'll just put in the actual resistance of the dummy after its self debuffs. You don't know what that is, do you?
I think it is like this:

Base Resistance: 18200
Major Fracture/Breach: - 5280
Minor Fracture/Breach: - 1320
Alkosh (Line-Breaker): - 3010
Infused + Torugs Crusher: - 2740
---------------------------------
Remaining Resistance: 5850

No, these don't need to be added since they act multiplicatively to the other bonuses.

All bleed abilities no longer ignore resistances (e.g., should scale with pen CP)
Stampede has a DoT component
Merciless Charge (Maelstrom 2H DoT) is missing
Bound Armaments new proc effect: scales with MaA

Also, on review, I think Relequen is (and has been?) configured incorrectly. It shows as scaling with both MaA and Thaum as well as being critable, but I don't think that's true. It should only scale with Thaum and not be critable (not sure about penetration; will test further).

What's the easiest way to communicate this to get the addon updated? If it's in GitHub, I can submit a PR with the relevant changes. Or I can update the spreadsheet. Or I can post changes in a comment here.

Thanks for all of your work!

Good points, I'll see to the changes.

You can submit this stuff however you want, if it's not much, I can take care of it either way.
The spreadsheet can only by altered by people that I individually unlocked. If you want to be able to edit, you can sent me you email address via DM or email so I can add you for editing.

Edit: I think I implemented the bleed changes on scalebreaker already, is there something wrong with it still?
