Rawr Discussion

Now that I've finally fixed my Visual Studio, I have resumed work on Rawr.DPSDK. This thread will be devoted to bug track/improve this tool. If you'd like to help, feel free to contact me or Astrylian via forum PM. If the tank version is actively being developed, we can use this thread for both modules.

DPS & Tanking:

Current version:

2.1.6 - Released Jan 6th

Rawr Main Thread

Known Issues for DPS:

-Custom rotations does not work (I know the problem, requires some re-engineering)
-Ghoul is not implemented (Thanks Bloody_Sorcerer for the numbers)
-No Sigils are properly implemented yet (Awareness *should* work)
-DK set bonuses not implemented
-DW math is a bit off
-Questionable results for mainhand
-Expertise issues (may be related to some of the above issues)
-Fix hit cap from 9 to 8%

When you say "no custom rotations" does it default to the rotation that does the highest damage possible per spec?

No, it allows you to input a custom rotation. You enter the duration, and number of each ability you use. Currently you can choose between the default frost/blood/unholy, I will be updating these based on newer theorycrafting.

Why does Rawr keep telling me the Paladin T7 is an upgrade and refuses to list the deathknight T7 as an option?

The gear Rawr is suggesting doesn't seem to match up with items from Lootrank.com

But is Rawr modeling the set bonuses?

It's not, definitely something that would be nice to see fixed.

Right now Rawr is classifying DKs as paladins. I'm going to be fixing that too, forgot about that one. Added to bug fixes.

The actual releases are determined by the main Dev, Astrylian. I should be able to finish the majority of these bug fixes by this weekend. I'll talk to him and see if we can arrange a release date in the next week.

Something I noticed, and it may or may not be related to me being new to the tool itself:

It recommends the Bold Dragon's Eye on every piece of gear with a socket, even though I defined the gemming part under tools diferently. It´s not very effective having to sift through various items, most of them with that gem, which i have no access to.

Zurm, some of the ability mappings seem to be off a bit (well, ok, maybe lots :P), specifically Armor Pen. Could this be more of a Rawr-wide issue or a DK thing?

Good to hear about the paladin items--that was driving me nuts.

Regarding rotations, is there any feasible way to autodetect/autocreate an optimal rotation based on a semi-blank slate? It would be pretty damn kickass to be able to tell Rawr "ok, here's my character from armory; make it win at Deathknight!", not to mention simplify our lives on the theorycrafting side. At worst case, a number of pre-built rotations could be loaded in and auto-selected from but, at best, it could take your glyphs/spec and math it's way to an optimal rotation with a few constraints.

I am not your personal Frost Deathknight knowledge base. If you have a simple question, ask in the simple questions thread; if you have a more esoteric, specific, or complicated question, ask in the spec-appropriate thread.

My PM, WoWmail, and, especially, chat boxes are NOT the appropriate places for these questions.
