I am just curious about how the action priority list in SimC might be affecting stat weights. I just recently updated to 725-01 and noticed that Arcane Barrage is in our burn phase.
Now, my understanding was that the general idea is to burn through all of your mana, then Evo, then conserve phase. One thing I have noticed that bugs me is that my mana usually stays the same and my damage doesn't have the characteristic spike in dps during burn phase. So why is this in the burn phase and how much does it actually affect the generated stat weights?actions.burn=variable,name=total_burns,op=add,value=1,if=!burn_phase
