Well, it was just a display issue, as of 2.1.8, and as of 2.1.9 the tooltip is fixed now too, I think? Are you using 2.1.9?

I update the tooltips/names of talents automatically based off of the Blizzard talent calculators. I thought they had updated them for 3.0.8, but they may not have.

I just used RAWR for the first time, 2.1.9. Ty and congrats on making such a great tool. I'm pretty close to an arcane cookie cutter build, 57/3/11. I'd like to know if other arcane mages are seeing similar gear rankings with raid buffs enabled to make sure I'm not making big mistakes in RAWR. Suprising badge upgrades:

4th best in slot cloak: Disguise of the Kumiho
5th best in slot offhand: Handbook of Obscure Remedies
2nd best in slot ring: Band of Channeled Magic
2nd best in slot wrist: Cuffs of the Shadow Ascendant

Haste really shines with all the raid buffs enabled. The most suprising thing for me was how good Spellweave gloves are--2nd best in slot. I don't have the T7.5 gloves or chest from Maly10 yet, but keeping the 4 set bonus with head, legs, chest, and shoulders with Spellweave gloves comes pretty close to that optimal configuration.

Are other arc mages seeing similar results in RAWR?

Yes it is already fixed in dev version.

Problem solved, I didn't check enchants when I ran optimized that's why the numbers changed so much. When I import it used current enchants.

However, tonight I see something else that I have a question about. My current RAWR config reads 5272dps, I modeled it after the Patchwerk fight we did tonight. On the WWS I did 5546dps and on RAWR it projects at 5272. Is that just due to standard deviation (crit lottery)? Is there a way I can see what my deviation "upper-lower" limits are?

If anyone could point me to what I'm doing wrong. Thanks.

I've looked at the last couple pages to see if I could find anything, so here it goes.

While trying to choose items available or change items on the character himself, Valorous Frostfire Shoulderpads and Circlet are not present anywhere on the list. At first I thought it was because Rawr felt they weren't worth using at all but then realized that's just silly. The Gloves and Legs were always available as a choice for gear and rated, but the Robes weren't for a while. After running the Optimizer at one point, they magically appeared as well. Currently I still cannot get the helm or shoulders to come up on the lists anywhere, even though if I go to Edit Items, they appear there with various gem combinations.

In short, has anyone else experienced this or know how to fix this? I'd like to go 4/5 Frostfire and wear a non-set robe.

/edit: A simple reinstall has fixed this issue. Apologies for not trying something so simple to begin with.

Once again, awesome program.

A couple issues I have been having:

1) Periodically, when launching the program I get a warning that I am using an older version of the item cache, and when it loads all database items are deleted except the ones my toon is wearing when I load him up. I then have to reload all items. I have tried deleting all older versions but it still happens. Downloading a newer version usually fixes the problem, but since I always have to reset my gems, buffs, and preferences, that can be a pain and isn't always necessary or possible if I just want a quick check on whether an item is worth the dkp.

2) 2.1.9 is reaaaaaally slow for me. Like I click a current wrist item and it takes 2 minutes for my command to be recognized. I have also gotten caught in some infernal loop where it keeps trying to run some optimizer calculation, tells me it has run out of cycles, I click OK, and it keeps trying. I suspect this is related to all of the arcane complexities, and the system is furiously recalculating something behind the scenes, but I can't figure out what is causing the problem. I have reverted back to 2.1.8 due to the issues. Any suggestions?

Thanks for all your work.

Rawr doesn't currently include mirror images. There is no functionality currently to see expected deviation other than looking at damage ranges of individual spells.

1) It sounds like you're corrupting the item cache. If your machine is really that slow be careful when you're closing the application not to force quit it because it is writing the cache to file at that point. If you interrupt it that might cause your problem.

2) Disable cooldown segmentation/integral mana or try switching to depth first SMP with possibly lower limit.

Is there a reason Rawr completely purges any itemcache it doesn't like? It would seem more logical to back it up to itemcache.bak or some such. Having it nuke the cache completely puts the program into an almost unusable state for no real gain.

What are you talking about? What do you want to keep a backup of a corrupted itemcache for? If your itemcache gets corrupted, the program is going to be in that 'almost unusable state' no matter what.

A) Why are you manually editing the ItemCache?
B) If you're advanced enough to manually edit the ItemCache, I'd think you'd know to make a backup of it.
