Rawr is awesome, thanks for creating and maintaining this great tool. Any estimates on when the next release will become available?

Astrylian · 06/09/08, 1:50 PM

No estimate at the moment, but it's going to be a while still. Personally, I've been rather busy lately, and haven't had as much time to work on Rawr as I've wanted to.

Question about getting new items into the Rawr Database. How exactly do you do it? I've been looking for info on this everywhere but can't seem to nail it. I tried the Update Item Cache, but that ended up giving me constant error messages to the point I have to nuke the folder and download a new one.

Tools -> Edit Items -> Add...

Enter the item ID of the item from wowhead, click OK and you're done.

Thanks a ton. This should help out quite a bit.

Now the question is: How do you add enchants ? I tried to compare ZG shoulder enchant with honored scryer shoulder enchant for my warlock alt, but it seems ZG enchants are not in the database. I found the enchant id from wowhead and tried to add it like an item, but while the import worked, it did not make it available as an enchant.

Two things. Could you add an option for concentration aura? I was curious how much DPS it would add in a fight like Teron, which has some pushckbacks flying around. (Oh, and, on that note... hm, how would something like Malacrass be configured, since the pushbacks are grouped?)
Second thing, it would be nice to be able to configure how many BLs and how many drums you have available. (My group usually has at least 2 drums and I happen to get 2 BLs sometimes)

ZG enchants are head and legs as I recall, not shoulder.

edit* Ah, so there are also ZG rep shoulder enchants, my mistake.

You can actually represent Concentration Aura in the mage module using the pushback option in the Options screen. It's not listed in the buffs screen (and probably won't ever be) because most of the models don't care about/model pushback.

Yeah, I know, but it's a bit of pain... Especially since you have to take into consideration your own talents which will screw up build comparison, since concentration aura stacks additively.

Are they any plans on making RAWR defalut to Alliance Pallies or as always Horde get everything. At least away for it detect it when you download from Armory? It has almost cost ema few times

There are both. Head/legs is a tokenized drop, and shoulders is a rep reward for exalted with Zandalar.

I'd say editing EnchantCache.xml should work, add this:

  <Enchant>
    <Id>2605</Id>
    <Name>Zandalar Signet of Mojo</Name>
    <Slot>Shoulders</Slot>
    <Stats>
      <SpellDamageRating>18</SpellDamageRating>
    </Stats>
  </Enchant>

Astrylian · 06/12/08, 11:27 AM

Yeah, there's no editor for enchants in the current version, but we're working on that. You can just edit the enchantcache.xml as described above until then.

Pretty sure the mage model does calculate pushback, so I don't see why concentration aura couldn't be added as a buff. Kavan?

Comments about the Ret model (detect alliance vs horde), please PM to Zurm, here on EJ.

So...I have been using RAWR for a couple of months now and have a question.

I have a MH/BT level ARCANE (40/0/21) mage. I really enjoy playing as arcane and want to make sure I am gearing/gemming as effieciently as possible. The way RAWR works, it is always trying to attain a spell hit of 126 to provide the hit cap needed for both the arcane and frost schools.

When raiding I do have to fall back on Frostbolts now and again, but the percentage is fairly low in comparison to my arcane blasts. Is there a way to make RAWR ignore the hit cap requirement of the secondary school? The best I have been able to do is to spec RAWR so that my talents are (61/0/0) to get some idea, but this is obviously not the ideal solution.

Thanks!
