Sim modes

A mode is the fight a sim runs. Pick one under Choose a mode on any sim's setup page.

Which mode to pick

  • Single Target: Raid and dungeon bosses.
  • Cleave: A boss with an add, or a small pack.
  • AoE: Mythic+ packs and big pulls.
  • Solo: Delves and world content.
  • Mass AoE: The biggest pulls.

Running Mythic+? Sim Single Target for bosses and Cleave or AoE for trash. To compare stats or items, use Single Target. Extra targets and movement make those sims slower, and stat weights noisier.

Under Choose a mode, a mode marked with a tier, such as Tier 2, runs on that tier of Premium and above. Making your own modes takes Tier 3.
