I think Molten Armor buff is bugged at the moment. Checking or unchecking it doesnt change anything. It seems like the model assumes Molten Armor up no matter which buff I choose.

The "automatic armor" option is probably checked for you, which, as far as I know, overrides any armor choices.

you are right, thank you.

What I do not understand is that lots of buffs which are available to 90% of the raiders are not chosen by default but automatic armor is. Anyways, thanks again.

Does the current version Rawr apply the hit bonus from (elemental) precision to arcane spells? It is not clear to me that it does, but someone else should confirm.

Great work Kavan.

I have a couple of suggestions concerning the sequence reconstruction:

1. It would be nice to have the option of creating a sequence using only 2 (or at the most 3) arcane sequences, ie one high dps, one low dps (and one execute or perhaps one "overhasted" sequence). The current sequence I am looking at has five separate sequences, which is just too complicated for mortals like me. It's informative looking at these almost-perfect reconstructions, but just not do-able

2. The sequence is giving me integrals which are physically impossible, eg ABABar2C for 2 seconds! I don't know how you would get around this ...

Kudos and respect

I've got two little things to report:

1) Judgement of Wisdom
What's the current proc rate? It was 25% in 3.0.3, I didn't read about any changes in the proc rate 3.0.8.
If it's unchanged, JoW should be 0.5% base mana per hit (2% base mana, 25% proc rate).
The JoW tooltip in Rawr claims that it's 1%/hit, so either I missed a change or someone made a typo.

2) Automatic Focus Magic
I'd find a checkbox for that useful, like Automatic Armour is.
Perhaps below the Focus Magic Rate input, to enable the static 3% Focus Magic buff whenever you're specced for it.
When I swap specs to compare them, I always have to toggle the static 3% Focus Magic buff on and off. Maybe others would find that useful as well.

Thanks again for your great work, Kavan!

I added the needed constraints to advanced solver so the next version will be able to handle this case.

The current proc rate for JoW in Rawr is 50%. Can you point me to some testing that shows it is 25%? The only thing I can find is quotes saying it is 50% or 25%, but I've seen neither of them confirmed with data.

For focus magic I'm not inclined to do that. I know what you want to do is simulate the benefit of the buff, but if you want to go that far then you should also calculate the benefit of scorch debuff to others. Rawr is primarily intended for evaluation of your performance, so whether you get static 3% focus magic buff does not depend on you having it, but there being another mage in raid that gives it to you.

Sweet, I'll keep an eye out for more score's below 90 and post them when I see them. I never realized those were all bugs before.

Unrelated to mage, but an option to automatically update Rawr from within itself would be nice.

I'd like to point you to the main Rawr thread (non-class specific), mentioned in the first post.
