Kahorie simulator for DKs

I’m going to have a single post which lets people download the XML settings files I’ve been using for Kahorie’s DK simulator, which might save some time or let you double-check how I’ve done it (in case of errors).

Settings

• Character xml
  • i213 – i226 tank Gravity spec
  • Bluedragon’s i245 spec and armour rebaselined
• Unholy no-reaping rotation with one death coil
• Unholy DnD rotation without epidemic (short) against single-target
• Unholy DnD rotation with epidemic (long) against single-target
• Unholy AOE rotation with epidemic but for otherwise a normal non-reaping spec (long)

Note: for changing the character file or creating your own:

• for bonus attack power, see this clarification
• for crit, see here.

Raid buffs.

If I say “using 10-man raid buffs”, these are the settings I mean (image):

Note that if you want to model [Improved Icy Talons], [Abomination's Might] or [Crypt Fever], note they must be selected as buffs (not just in the talents). Source.

How to use Kahorie? Stoppable wrote a good guide.
