## What it is
SimulationCraft is a multi-player, event-driven combat simulator for World of Warcraft written in C++, modeling player character DPS in raid and dungeon scenarios. It ships as both a command-line tool and a simple GUI for analyzing characters and computing stat weights to guide gear choices.

## Use cases
- simulate world of warcraft character dps
- calculate stat weights for gear selection
- compare raid compositions and performance
- analyze combat mechanics and proc effects
- run character simulations from the command line
- download and analyze armory characters

## When to choose
- you need accurate DPS modeling for WoW raiding or dungeons
- you want to optimize gear via relative stat weights
- you prefer scriptable, command-line simulation with profile files
- you need detailed charts and reports for individual or raid performance

## When to avoid
- you need simulations for games other than World of Warcraft
- you want a polished, well-maintained graphical interface
- you need a simple closed-form calculator rather than a full simulator
