Sounds like you're running into a situation where using the orange/purple gems helps satisfy a metagem requirement. If that's not the case, Kavan, can you take a look?

You have no gems marked as available (nor any enchants). Fill those out, and you should get more desirable results.


It's not really clear that you need to fill out items, gems, and enchants, not just items, so I'll be adding something for the next version, when you open the Optimizer, that says something like "Warning, you have no choices marked available for these slots: Head Enchant, Gems, Metagems, etc. To get accurate results, please fill those out before using the Optimizer." or something similar.

No, metagem requirements are met by gems in belt/shoulder slots.. anyway installed a fresh version and it works
now. Maybe some conflict with the b13.0 version? I just overwrote that with the 13.1...

Astrylian I sent you and email regarding a problem I had in the cat model optimizer. Just posting here in case you are like me and rarely check certain email address

first off, been waiting for this release for a while now^_^ im VERY happy it came out before the anvil was finished on our server, so thanks:-). i just have small question about the new shattered sun exaulted neck piece and how you ended up modeling it in rawr. more specifically i noticed that there was only 1 version yet there are 2 different procs available for the different factions, aldor/scyrer. And anecdotally i would be inclined to say that the scyrer proc would be more valuable to cats than the aldor one due to our insane crit rates and AP inflation, as well as us having fast attack speeds which would lead to proc times as close to the 45 sec cd as possible.

There are radio buttons on the options tab to choose whether you're Aldor or Scryer. As for how they're calculated...

For Aldor, it's 200ap for 10sec, 15% proc, 45sec cooldown. This is averaged out for Rawr. I don't recall the exact # offhand for sure, but it's counted as proccing every (I think) 51.1 sec, which is about 39ap (I think).

For Scryer, it's a ~350 arcane damage proc, same proc chance/cooldown, using melee crit chance/multipliers, and is affected by Misery/CoS. To be perfectly honest, the way Rawr calculates this is a hack, at the moment. It's converted to an equivalent amount of weapon damage, that produces close to the right amount of dps. It's not totally accurate, but it's close. (And yes, Scryer's proc is more dps than Aldor's)

There's 2 things I'd like to request for Rawr.Retribution, no idea whether it should be posted here or PM-ed to a developer.
1. Cursed Vision of Sargeras is missing a combo with relentless earthstorm diamond + inscribed pyrestone. I'd like to keep the socket bonus and get the 6 sta at the expense of 0.5 dps loss.
2. Give some way to enforce specific gems into slots or a way to tell the optimiser to always put matching gems in sockets. I like getting all my socket bonuses regardless of whether simply sticking +10 str gems everywhere is better.

Is it just me or are Leggings of Devastation off Mother Sharaz missing from this build?

You can still add any items you want to Rawr. See the readme.

Is there an update on:

* Warlock talent changes/modifications to spec
* Emberstorm deep-fire builds for Warlocks?

It reports very wrong values for Incinerate, for example.

Looking at the Ret Model of the SSO necklace (aldor vs scyrer), and the Aldor one seemed to be missing the average ~40 attack power added (from the 200 ap proc), and the Scryrer neck seemed a little high.
