Pawn string
( Pawn: v1: "Frost Death Knight (Noxxic)": Class=DeathKnight, Spec=Frost, Dps=220.20, Strength=73.70, OffHandDps=64.70, CritRating=63.60, HasteRating=48.20, MasteryRating=44.10, Versatility=33.60 )Where these stat weights come from
SimulationCraft runs this guide’s Frost Death Knight profile against Single Target for a baseline, then runs it again with a little more of each stat. The damage one extra point adds is that stat’s weight, and the priority is the weights in order.
Your character isn’t that profile. Gear, tier set, trinkets and talents all move what a stat is worth, and the further your gear is from the profile’s, the further your weights move. A Stat weights sim runs the same process on your own character.
