The one button against real +15 players

How much damage the Single-Button Assistant (with cooldowns pressed) would deal on real +15 keys, compared with a typical player of the same spec. Open a spec for the details.

Measured: the real runs. Their median damage, per spec and hero tree, is the yardstick. Simulated: every %. SimulationCraft plays the button on the same routes, with the gear and talents those players use. No one played these runs with the button.

How we measured
  • For each of the season's 8 dungeons, we took every timed +15 run on Warcraft Logs since the 27 Oct class tuning and found the standard route: the set of packs pulled most often. Where a second or third route is common too (at least 10 % of runs), it gets its own simulation.
  • A run counts as on the standard route when it differs by at most 2 mobs. Share of runs on the route: Altar of Fangs, route 1 52%, Altar of Fangs, route 2 17%, Den of Nalorakk 17%, Kings' Rest 91%, Murder Row, route 1 26%, Murder Row, route 2 14%, Ruby Life Pools, route 1 35%, Ruby Life Pools, route 2 22%, Temple of Sethraliss, route 1 70%, Temple of Sethraliss, route 2 14%, The Blinding Vale, route 1 38%, The Blinding Vale, route 2 14%, The Blinding Vale, route 3 11%, Voidscar Arena 74%.
  • Each spec and hero tree is simulated on the standard route, and compared only with real runs of the same spec and hero tree on that route. A dungeon counts from 5 runs; under 100 runs in total the row is marked "Few data".
  • Each spec's typical player (the gear and talents most real players use) is simulated on those routes with the button. Open a spec to see its gear and talents. Its damage is compared with the median damage of that spec's real players on Warcraft Logs.
  • Real players spend part of each run not casting (moving, dodging, waiting for pulls). Warcraft Logs shows how much: the result is lowered by how much less a typical player of the spec casts than the simulated button (4% on average).
  • Each spec is shown with the talents that work best on the button (ours or the players', whichever is better on these routes). Switch to "Talents most players use" to see every spec with its players' talents.
  • Every timed +15 run since the 27 Oct class tuning went live in each region (US 27 Oct 15:00 UTC, EU 28 Oct 07:00 UTC, Asia 28 Oct 23:00 UTC), to 4 Nov.
  • SimulationCraft's own manual rotation, simulated the same way, is shown for each spec against the same real players. It is above them for almost every spec (30% for the median spec), and more so on routes with bigger pulls. That gap is the simulator's own edge; the button's numbers carry part of it.
  • The simulator never misplays the button, so in game expect it to land a bit lower than these numbers.
  • Balance Druid, Devourer Demon Hunter, Elemental Shaman, Frost Death Knight and Havoc Demon Hunter are not ranked in Mythic+ on the Ranking page, because SimulationCraft does not support its generic M+ fight there. These real routes use another fight style, which SimulationCraft supports for every spec, so they are ranked here.

A worked example with every input and step is at the bottom of this page.

Bar = damage of the one button; white line = a typical +15 player of the spec. Specs within about 2 % of each other are a tie. Less certain the simulator doesn't match real players well for the spec. Few data fewer than 100 real runs.

We checked why against Warcraft Logs on 25 Oct 2026: the damage of each spell is right, but the simulator stays in Void Metamorphosis far longer than real players, because it picks up every soul fragment.

    Less certainThe simulator is much stronger than real Devourer players (about +50 % with SimulationCraft's manual rotation, the most of any spec). We checked why against Warcraft Logs on 25 Oct 2026: the damage of each spell is right, but the simulator stays in Void Metamorphosis far longer than real players, because it picks up every soul fragment.
    The simulated player: item level 330.2 (real players: 329.4). Each slot is the item real players wear most, at their usual item level. Shown: the Kings' Rest profile; each dungeon has its own, from its own players.
    Talents most players use: the most common build in the hero tree most players pick (45 of 134 Annihilator players)

Not shown, too few real runs on the standard routes (a dungeon needs 10 runs of the spec and hero tree): Frost Death Knight Rider of the Apocalypse (5 runs), Beast Mastery Hunter Dark Ranger (11 runs), Marksmanship Hunter Dark Ranger (8 runs), Survival Hunter Pack Leader (26 runs), Arcane Mage Spellslinger (9 runs), Fire Mage Frostfire (4 runs), Outlaw Rogue Fatebound (1 run), Subtlety Rogue Deathstalker (51 runs), Elemental Shaman Stormbringer (3 runs), Enhancement Shaman Totemic (7 runs), Affliction Warlock Hellcaller (23 runs), Demonology Warlock Soul Harvester (1 run), Destruction Warlock Hellcaller (15 runs), Arms Warrior Colossus (4 runs).

Button talents: the best Mythic+ build we found for the button (from our talent search or a top player on murlok.io), or SimulationCraft's own build where nothing beat it, simulated on the same routes and used when it gains more than 2 % over the talents most players use. This page answers a different question from the Ranking. How do real button players do? Where the numbers come from

Worked example: Frost Death Knight (Deathbringer)
  1. Route. Kings' Rest: 15 pulls, built from the real runs on that route (91% of the dungeon's runs). Each pull has the median HP, length and number of mobs alive of those runs.

  2. Real players (measured). 157 Frost Death Knight Deathbringer runs on that route. Median damage: 200,083 DPS, median item level 330.6. The route's real runs spend a median 23:19 in combat.
  3. Simulated player. The item real players wear most in each slot, and their talents (most common exact build).

  4. SimulationCraft. Version 1210-01, game data 12.1.5.70575, fight style DungeonRoute, 500 iterations, one actor at a time (single_actor_batch=1). The button is SimulationCraft's Assisted Combat list with a 25 % slower global cooldown.
  5. Raw results (median DPS, time to clear the route).

  6. This route. Button + cooldowns over real players: 224,327 / 200,083 = 1.121. Real players spend more time not casting than the simulated button, so it is multiplied by 0.963: 1.080, so +8%.
  7. All routes. The same on each route, then averaged weighted by real runs (849 runs on the 14 routes that count): +14%, the number on the page.
