      <h3 class="faq-question">
        Why does <em>x</em> class perform poorly?
      </h3>
      <p class="faq-answer">
        Wowsims is still in <strong>alpha</strong>, and as such the quality of
        each spec varies widely. This is particularly noticeable in multi-target
        encounters where classes APLs have not been fleshed out enough yet.

    </div>

    <div class="faq-item">
      <h3 class="faq-question">Should I reroll based on these rankings?</h3>
      <p class="faq-answer">
        These are theoretical maximums under ideal conditions. So no, take these
        benchmarks with a grain of salt.

      <h3 class="faq-question">
        Are these live simulations or static results?
      </h3>
      <p class="faq-answer">
        This website displays static simulation results that were generated at a
        specific point in time, not live simulations. The data represents a
        snapshot of spec performance based on the wowsims engine and
        configurations available when the simulations were last run. For live,
        interactive simulations where you can customize gear and settings, visit <
a
          href="https://wowsims.com/mop"
          target="_blank"
          rel="noopener noreferrer">wowsims.com/mop</a

    </div>

    <div class="faq-item">
      <h3 class="faq-question">How often are rankings updated?</h3>
      <p class="faq-answer">
        As of writing, the website is still actively being developed. So all
        simulations are being manually run. In the future, simulation runs will
        be triggered by upstream wowsim releases.
      </p>
    </div>

    <div class="faq-item">
      <h3 class="faq-question">What gear and talents are used?</h3>
      <p class="faq-answer">
        In most cases every spec uses the appropriate gearsets/talents directly
        from the <a href="https://github.com/wowsims/mop">wowsims repo</a>.

    <div class="faq-item">
      <h3 class="faq-question">How many iterations are run per simulation?</h3>
      <p class="faq-answer">
        Currently we are running 10,000 iterations for each category, once
        wowsims has matured I will up this to 50,000.
      </p>
    </div>

    <div class="faq-item">
      <h3 class="faq-question">What raid buffs and debuffs are active?</h3>
      <p class="faq-answer">
        We use the default raid cooldowns from wowsims, which is bases on an
        ideal 25M raid. Warrior/Shaman simulations are counted in the 4/2
        Stormlash Totem/Skull Banner count, <em>not</em> in addition to.
      </p>
    </div>

    <div class="faq-item">
      <h3 class="faq-question">How is the simulation being run?</h3>
      <p class="faq-answer">
        We use the wowsims CLI, which accepts JSON configuration files
        containing all simulation parameters (gear, talents, encounter settings,
        etc.). While these files can be manually generated from the wowsims
        WebUI, we use Nix to programmatically create configurations for all
        specs and encounter types. The Nix build system then orchestrates
        running thousands of simulations in parallel, aggregates the results
        into JSON files, and generates the static website you're viewing. This
        approach ensures reproducible builds and allows us to efficiently
        simulate entire spec rankings across multiple scenarios.
