Parry Hasting Addon

[theckhd]

OK, I have some results. First of all, here's the current version of the code: ph_analyzer2.m

I've done a lot of commenting to make it readable, and it now runs reasonably quickly (under a minute per boss, even for large logs) in Matlab 2009a. I still want to do some things with it both to help debug the code and to help us investigate how certain attacks interact with parry mechanics, but for now the most important stuff works.

Here's a rundown based on three logs, one from Ony+ToC25, and two from ICC10. The logs can be downloaded here (15 MB): WCL_archive1.rar.
They correspond to the following WoL raids:

ToC25+Ony: Expired
ICC10: Marrowgar-DBS, Sindragosa
ICC10: Sindragosa, Plague, Crimson Halls, LK attempts
ICC10: Marrowgar-DBS, Plague, Crimson Halls (alt run)

The last two raids were in the same combat log, which explains a few weird features in the plots (I'll make note of them when we get there). The first wing bosses and Sindragosa data come from the first main run. LK data comes from the second main run, and Plague/Crimson Halls data comes from both runs.

Note: The saveas() function is doing something weird to the plots. I'm going back and manually re-saving the plots to make them all look as pretty as the second Onyxia one.
<edit>: Plots fixed.

Boss-by-boss breakdown:
Lord Marrowgar
PH off. See below.

This one looks crazy, but it's actually pretty consistent. Browsing the log, it seems that the two hits from an individual Saber Lash can register at vastly different times. For example, here are the first 10 unparried events (blue dots):

It may be tricky to read with word wrap, but the point is that all of the entries at ~400 or ~800 ms correspond to cases where the same Saber Lash hit the two of us at slightly different times. It seems to happen mostly when one player avoids the Saber Lash and the other takes the damage, which is strange.

This is one thing I want to fix about the current code (i.e. only register the first in a series of cleave entries), but it will take some time to get the implementation right. if you ignore the Saber Lash effects, we get a very consistent swing timer of around 1.2s (1.0 pre-slow).



Lady Deathwhisper
PH on. Not much data here, but there seem to be at least a few examples of parry-haste


Deathbringer Saurfang
PH off. Excellent data set since he melees a lot.


Festergut
PH off. We already knew they'd turn PH off for this one, and the data confirms it. There are two kills in here.


Rotface
Another good data set showing that parry-hasting is turned off. There should be one kill, then two wipes and another kill in this log.


Putricide
PH off. No question about it. This is actually three attempts: one kill (main run), followed by a wipe in phase 2 (abom failure on alt run), followed by another kill (alt run).


Prince Valanar
PH off. Lots of clear examples. Also a nice display of JotJ dropping off. Again, 2 kills.


Prince Taldaram
PH off. Two kills.


Blood-Queen Lana'thel
PH off. One kill, and then a few wipes (alt run)


Sindragosa
PH on. This is 3 wipes.

This second plot is 4 more wipes and a kill


There's a lot going on in these two plots, but the first one should be enough to convince us that she parry-hastes. A lot of the extra junk is due to the Frost Breaths and Cleaves, I need to work on that portion to improve the handling of those events.

Lich King
PH off. This is 6 different wipes.



The ToC bosses are all single-attempt kills.

Gormok
PH off. Nothing surprising here, we know it's disabled on him.


Dreadscale
PH on. There are a few examples in the log that demonstrate it clearly.


Acidmaw
PH ??. We really don't have enough data for acidmaw, he spends most of his time spewing acid. Parryhaste is probably not a serious concern on him either way.


Icehowl
PH on. Icehowl does parry-haste, and we have a number of examples to choose from.


Jaraxxus
PH off. The one parry that looks like a haste (event 64) is actually a melee that was followed by a Fel Lightning cast, as are all of the other events below the baseline. Fel Lightning seems to have a shorter cast time than 2.4 seconds, so these events show up as "faster than usual" swings. The one exception is event 59 (no parry), which is a sequence of melee attacks - presumably the druid tank let Demo Roar fall off momentarily.


Eydis Darkbane
PH off. The Twin Spike section is pretty neat (at least, I assume that's what the dip is)


Fjola Lightbane
PH off.


Anub'arak
PH off.



Onyxia
PH on? Again, this plot is really noisy due to Flame Breaths, Cleaves, and Bellowing Roars.


Just to check, I put circles on all the Cleaves and diamonds on all of the Flame Breaths:

There doesn't seem to be a particular pattern here. It'll take a little more digging to figure out what's going on with the dragon bosses.


I'll be posting a new "comprehensive list" post later on today or tomorrow.

[Tbdsamman]

While refining the method for calculating the parry haste bonus I came to a conclusion that double parry hasting cannot occur in practice. And in theory the only time double parry hasting can occur is with both parries at the exact beginning of the swing timer.

While my only understanding of parry hasting comes from Formulas:Parry - WoWWiki, the only way to receive two 40% bonuses is to have them at the beginning so that the remaining swing timer is 20%.

Code: Select all

A   100% (full swing timer remaning)
B  - 40%
C  = 60% (normal parry haste)
D  - 40%
E  = 20% (fastest you can swing)

If A is less than 100%, E will be less than 20% and the bonus of D will not be applied.

If anyone knows the parry hasting mechanics more, I could value your input.

[Cliffton]

I do not have the data to say how parry hasting really works, but I had heard it worked differently than wowwiki suggested.

If your swing speed is x, I had heard that if your swing timer is anywhere between 1 and 0.6x, then the first parry would reduce the swing timer to 0.6x. If the swing timer was between 0.2 and 0.6x, then a parry would reduce the swing timer to 0.2x.

If parry haste works the way I had described (and I have read on some websites that it works this way), then a double parry haste is a distinct possibility in practice.

[theckhd]

Not quite. There was extensive research done over at EJ.

Basically, every parry removes up to 40% off of the swing timer, but cannot reduce it below 20%. It's not a binary operation though. If you're at 45% left and parry, it will remove 25%, dropping you to 20% left on your swing timer. You can see it pretty clearly in the first plot of this post.

So in Tbdsamman's example of two simultaneous parries, if you start A at 95, it looks like this:

Code: Select all

A    95%
B   -40%
C =  55%
D   -40%
E    20% (lower limit)

Basically for any starting value A between 61 and 100, the second parry would do at least something.

[Cliffton]

Theck, there is a problem with the code that you have posted. The parryData array in your version includes the events when the boss attacks a player and the player parries.

This is going to muddy up the plots. They will show many more boss parries than are really happening (i.e. make too many red dots). This would provide false testimony that parry hasting is disabled.

The parser should distinguish between boss parries and player parries while populating the parryData array to fix this.

You've also got a large number of swingTimes that are unusually high, this is a symptom of the same problem. The "Boss attacks player" parries are being counted in the parryData bucket instead of the swingData bucket where they belong.

For Octave compatibility, I suggest changing where you use the Boolean expression of

Code: Select all

[strfind(x);strfind(y);strfind(z)]

to

Code: Select all

[strfind(x),strfind(y),strfind(z)]

Matlab (your version anyways) will apparently let you concatenate null rows with non-null rows if strfind returns the [] array, however, Octave will not. Octave will let you concatenate null columns with non-null columns though.

There is also an index problem that Octave does not like in

Code: Select all

            if( (strfind(nextLine,boss)) ) %Determine if this line is relevant to boss fight

On the final pass through your loop "%% New while loop - faster
while( 0 < nextLine )", nextLine is an integer and not a string. Matlab I suppose will permit strfind to run on an integer (automatic conversion or some such) but Octave will not.

EDIT: On a side note, in Octave, the code seems to run equally fast with or without regexp's in there. I suspect that Matlab does not use a radically different implementation of regexp, so I'm suspicious that there may exist is another root cause of the execution time difference.

Ah, ok. That explains a lot actually. Figuring out what was causing the extra long-time parry values was on my list of things to do when I find some more time.

For Octave compatibility, I suggest changing where you use the Boolean expression of

Code: Select all

[strfind(x);strfind(y);strfind(z)]

to

Code: Select all

[strfind(x),strfind(y),strfind(z)]

On the final pass through your loop, nextLine is an integer and not a string. Matlab I suppose will permit strfind to run on an integer (automatic conversion or some such) but Octave will not.

OK, I'll go back and fix that. MATLAB doesn't like "strfind() || strfind() || strfind()", but it did allow me to build them into an array and check it that way.

I can add another conditional in there (nextline~=-1) to solve the strfind() problem.

[Cliffton]

OK, I'll go back and fix that. MATLAB doesn't like "strfind() || strfind() || strfind()", but it did allow me to build them into an array and check it that way.

Not even if you enclose the expression in parens? "(strfind(x) || strfind(y) || strfind(z))"?

I think I tried that, but I honestly can't remember. That's one of the drawbacks of doing any coding before coffee has kicked in. I'll double check it tomorrow.

You also accidentally used the image for your first Onyxia plot for Anub'arak.

You also accidentally used the image for your first Onyxia plot for Anub'arak.

Oops. Looks like I manually saved over the Anub'arak one when fixing the images.

I'll fix that as I re-run the parses today (going to fix the bugs that Cliff found).

[theckhd]

Just as an update - I've made a lot of changes to the code, and fixed a lot of problems (for one thing, it was completely ignoring player parries as well, which was causing a lot of the high-delay noise). I've also added some debugging features, as well as a crude cleave detection algorithm. And I think I've managed to cover all of the Octave compatibility problems (also, I checked, and ((strfind(str1,str2)) && (strfind(str1,str3))) doesn't work if either strfind returns a []).

It now looks for SPELL_CAST_SUCCESS and SPELL_INTERRUPT events, which picks up a few things we weren't getting before. The cleave detection is only crude insofar as it checks the current line against the last relevant line to see if it's the same spell. This will cause problems if the boss chain-casts a spell (like Marrowgar's Saber Lash), since there's no timing check in there. I need a better implementation for it, but I've run out of time to do anything with this today (have to get some actual work done).

In any event, here's how it looks for Jaraxxus, after adding all of his relevant spell casts:


As you can see, there are a lot of spell casts here, but the important part is that all of the melee attacks that appear to be parry-hastes are attacks that are followed by a spell cast (like Fel Lightning, which is an instant). It also seems to cover the exceptionally long ones, with one exception (I'll have to go back and check that event later).

Similarly, here's the Anub'arak one (updated in the previous post as well):



However, Onyxia still looks terrible:


I'm covering the spells you see in the code above, but there are still scenarios where we get a melee swing at 1.6 or so seconds that is surrounded only by other melee swings and no other events of relevance as far as I can tell. I think there's something I'm missing, but I can't quite pinpoint it yet. Her Tail Sweep attack isn't being parsed, but it looks even worse when I include that (it seems that's not tied to any other ability or the GCD). It's also not clear how Flame Breath and Cleave work. There are several instances of Flame Breath followed by Cleave giving a shorter-than-usual delay, but I haven't exhaustively checked each Cleave yet to see if it's always the case.

One thing I'd like to do yet is to make the plots a little clearer by showing melee swings separately from spells, possibly even identifying each particular spell. That would make it easier to see trends, and would clear up the clutter of the melee line.

Debugging out loud here. This is all of the Onyxia swingData with the tail sweep lines uncommented and event numbers added to the beginning - this should contain every offensive ability she has (you may want to copy/paste into notepad to fix the formatting). The abilities are:
Tail Sweep - instant
Flame Breath - 2s cast
Cleave - next melee
Wing Buffet - 0.5s cast

Event 98 is a spell cast of Tail Sweep, which comes 0.06 seconds before a melee:

However, the previous melee (event 97) comes 1.6 seconds before the next one (event 99).

Similarly, here's one where we have melee+flame breath+tail sweep+melee:

There's a 4.5ish-second wait between the first melee and Flame Breath, which makes sense for a 2.4 speed swing followed by a 2-second cast. The Tail Sweep follows 0.73 seconds later, and the next attack is 1.38 seconds after that.

So it seems like Tail Sweep doesn't reset the swing timer, and can be used whenever she likes

[Cliffton]

Most spells aren't (theoretically) impacted by parry hastes, so they aren't a whole lot of benefit to look at and may just make it more difficult to see what's going on in the plots. Cleaves/"on next attack" type abilities are more interesting, as these would occur at the same time as a parry-hasted attack. If these can be solidly detected then that will help us find parry-hastes. Even if they are excluded however, a sufficient amount of autoattack data is all that is truly needed to determine a yea/nay on parry haste enabled/disabled. For this reason, it seems that the most reliable approach to detecting parry hastes to me is to just focus on getting autoattack parry haste detection working flawlessly first (and test it extensively), then add in cleaves and/or spells for a smaller number of bosses.

There will always be some minor variance in boss attack time (a few ms here and there), those are caused by issues like server latency, tank moving, paladin healer accidental taunts, dual wielding bosses, etc. Severe outliers in the data should just be discarded and ignored, because they are things like Bonestorm between autoattacks which really don't help us find parry-hastes. The algorithm discards these outliers by setting the Y-axis limits such that they are simply hidden from view. For abilities like Saber Lash that hit multiple players concurrently, it seems the best way to deal with these and many other cleave attacks is to simply discard data from the swingData array after is it populated.

Code: Select all

totally pseudo: if swingData(i) < 0.02 seconds, then swingData(i)=[]

In case it helps, here's a .txt file for the Ony swingData log with the Tail Sweeps removed:

so cap out hit,,, soft cap, expertise, then, dont worry about other stats, just get upgrades amirite,,, not anywhere near the old 80% of expertise is the same effect as dodge...
