The latest on 9.1 sims
As always, Blizzard is definitely going to adjust/tune things over the next couple of weeks! Sims are only one tool in the toolbox — I highly recommend staying up-to-date with theorycrafters, guide writers, class experts, and actual in-game logs to provide additional analysis and context.
A full list of release notes for Raidbots can be found at the bottom of this post.

Many of the new raid/dungeon items have had limited testing and may change as more info is gathered from live servers!
