Storm, Earth, and Fire

Storm, Earth, and Fire is fully supported in the sim. The action storm_earth_and_fire will spawn an enemy on the current target of the action (typically, the primary target of the simulator). There is a single buff and a single debuff involved in determining how many pets the actor has out at any given time, and whether a target has a pet on it. The buff storm_earth_and_fire has a maximum stack of two, where the stack count indicates the number of pets out. The debuff storm_earth_and_fire_target indicates whether the target has a pet on it.

Executing Storm, Earth, and Fire on a target that already has a pet on it will despawn that pet. Executing Storm, Earth, and Fire on a target that does not have a pet on it, when both pets are out, will despawn both pets. If a target dies, while a pet is on it, the pet is automatically despawned.

 # Use Storm, Earth, and Fire on the second and third targets (while they are alive)
 actions+=/storm_earth_and_fire,target=2,if=debuff.storm_earth_and_fire_target.down
 actions+=/storm_earth_and_fire,target=3,if=debuff.storm_earth_and_fire_target.down

There are a total of three available pets to summon (storm, earth, and fire pets). Each time the ability is executed, one of the remaining dormant pets is selected. For this reason, the reporting may show all three pet types in use. This does not mean that all three pets are active at the same time.

Resources

The initial_chi (scope: player, default: 1 for WW, cap: 6 for Ascension) option sets the amount of chi the monk actor has at the beginning of the combat. Please note that it defaults to 1 chi given sims assume you Expel Harm pre-pull to have 1 chi. Normally in a raid fight, chi will reset to 1 chi if the player has more than 1 chi.

# Set the initial chi of the monk actor to one
monk.initial_chi=1
