WhyLowDPS App
Hello,
About a month ago another developer shared a project he had been working on for local character simulation, and honestly it was amazing. But me and a friend had a different direction in mind for this kind of tool, more centered around the player and their characters rather than guild management, multiple platforms, and similar ecosystem-focused features.
So we decided to build our own version.
The app currently supports Windows only, and at the moment we do not have plans for additional platforms.
The goal is to provide a player-focused hub around your WoW characters while keeping things local-first and centered around the user experience.
Some of the current features include:
• Local character simulation (SimulationCraft based)
• Live sim tracking and sim history
• Saving routes from SimC strings so they can be reused later for simulations
• Automatically saving SimC strings to characters so they can be reused without reopening the game
• Viewing any character’s Great Vault directly from the app
• Current season information (dungeons, raids, weekly affixes, etc.)
There are also multiple specialized modes and tools, for example:
• Consumable Matrix → compare consumables and simulate them easily
• Tier Slot Matrix → help determine tier conversion priorities
• Trinket Matrix → test combinations and identify stronger setups
• Upgrade / Crest planner + drop finder
• Character wishlists grouped per character to track desired items and upgrades
And there are additional modes and features that are not listed here yet as the project is still evolving.
Note:
The app currently uses Blizzard APIs as the main backend source for game data, GitHub for application updates and refreshing release-published data when needed, and Raidbots data where required for consumables, items, and related simulations.
The application requires Battle.net API credentials to function. These are generated by you directly through Battle.net developer tools following the in-app instructions.
The credentials are stored locally only on your machine and are not shared, uploaded, or transmitted anywhere by the application.
If anyone is interested, feel free to try it out and share feedback. My friends and I use it daily already and we are happy with where it is, but we are always open to suggestions and improvements.
