[2.1.1] RhadaTip Enhanced Tooltip

RhadaTip Dps/Hps Tooltip Enhancer 3.0.1 (coming soon)

  • What does RhadaTip do?
  1. Item V.S. Item comparisons (to know how much dps this new badge item will grant to you, how many dkp you should bid on this newly dropped raid loot, etc).
    1. Item V.S. Item comes with an auto filling socket mechanism
    2. RhadaTip support trinkets comparisons.
  2. Full gear evaluation, and projected full gear value (as the result of swapping the tooltipped item with the currently equipped item).
    1. This means that the item comparison is always accurate. Limiting the scope of the comparison only to the two items themselves will produce highly inaccurate results (as a consequence of passing the hit cap, breaking a tier set bonus etc)
    2. Thus, RhadaTip supports the hit cap and tier set bonuses.
  3. One-button-optimizer for the whole gear. Clicking this button, RhadaTip will scan your equipped items plus all the items in your bags, compute which combination will result in the highest gear xPS value, and equip it.
  4. The comparison between items and setups can go n items ahead of your current gear, up to the best in slot configuration if you want, by using the combination of RhadaTip and WoWEquip.
    1. This is extremely useful. An item that is a small dps gain at the moment, might be a good dps gain (or a dps loss, for that matter) after having changed another item. As an example, an item drops (ie. a new pair of bracers). It is a small dps gain for you at the moment. You are only two emblems away from getting a new pair of legs. Before passing or bidding dkp, you might be interested in knowing what kind of dps gain those bracers would net to you also factoring in the new pair of leggings that you are about to get. Using RhadaTip and WoWEquip, that is possible.
    2. This is also much more useful for the average raider than a simple BiS list. The best in slot list is actually quite useless considering that those items are only the highest dps items when you combine them all together, and less than 0.00001% of the raiders will ever get them before the next tier is released.
    3. Easy, on the fly comparisons between your full gear set and that one of other players.
  5. RhadaTip links your current setups to your currently active talent tree. Swapping the active talent tree will automatically swap all values within RhadaTip. This (for example) means no overhead for a RhadaTip user changing from restoration to balance before a raid.
  6. RhadaTip comes with a gem optimizer. The gem optimizer's use is twofold.
    1. On the left handside it shows the best gem of each colour, based on your currently set scaling values.
    2. On the right handide, it will compute for you the optimal gemming of any item, be it an item that you already own (and therefore might be already gemmed), or an item that you don't already own. It will also show what gain you will get by regemming, so that you can better evaluate if it is worth going for it.
  7. It comes with a collection of pre defined scaling values accessible by the /rt pv slash command. These values are mostly taken from SimulationCraft for maximum reliability and actuality.
    1. When you log in with RhadaTip for the first time, it will compare your talents against those of the pre-set scaling values, and automatically load a template if there is a match.
  8. By using RhadaTip in combo with Auc-Searcher-RhadaTip, you can easily scan the auction house to find upgrades for you.
  • How does it work?
    To make the "xPS gain = n" show meaningful numbers, type /rt sv to open the input frame. Type in your scaling values. Once you have saved them with the button, they will be saved for future game sessions.
    If you don't have your scaling values, use /rt pv and select the closest set of scaling values to you (based on your gear level and talents).
    If you have spent your talent in a way that matches one of the RhadaTip saved templates, the scaling values will be automatically set (but I still suggest to review them).
    To make the "Total gear xPS = n" show even more meaningful numbers, type /rt hc to open the input frame. Type in your desired hit percentage that you want to achieve from gear only. As an example, if your hit cap versus a boss is at 17% hit, and you plan to receive +4% hit from raid buffs or racials, you have to put 13 in this frame (mind not putting the % symbol in here too). Here you can also set a "some casting time" value used to compute trinket procs, and the default filling gems for each empty socket bonus. Once you have saved them with the button, it will be saved for future game sessions.
    Where to get your correct scaling values? I'd suggest that you run your own SimulationCraft, if you really can't, you will probably be able to find them on some failjerks webside.
  • Why should I update from 2.1.5b to 3.0.0?
    - Entirely rewritten code makes the addon extremely lightweight. You won't notice a single fps drop when mousehovering items. It will also be at least 35% faster in computing the best gear combination. It will make a workaround to the issue with Autobar possible, so the two mods will finally be able to work together.
    - All addon compatibility issues have been worked around, therefore there is no more incompatibility with Autobar or Outfitter.
    - The expertise cap is finally in, enabling melee to achieve the same accuracy that only casters could get until now.
    - You can now choose a minimum itemLevel value in the Gear Optimizer tab. All items in your bags below this itemLevel will be skipped by the gear optimizer. This means that you can now fire it with fishing poles, mining picks and lvl 70 items in your bags, without having them slowing it down significantly.
    - The gear optimizer will properly work if the best solution has 2x of the same One-Handed weapons as the weapons of choice.
    - Added all left out Trial of the Crusade Trinkets, Darkmoon Card: Greatness, and Battlemaster Ruination.
    - Fixed the Sundial of the Exiled proc chance.
    - Fixed the tier9 localized names.
    - The gear optimizer will print out the items needed to achieve the best gear possible, in case there is some problem with their auto-equipment (Binds when Equipped items, too many Dragon's Eyes).
    - Fixed an offhand evaluation bug.
    - (3.0.0b) Fixed a few non-enUS parsing mistakes with most of the locales.
    - (3.0.0b) Added the zhTW locale.
  • Why should I update from 3.0.0b to 3.0.1?
    - The hit cap mechanism has been completely rethough, to accomodate for the need of a softcap. Now, the user will find two hit scaling values input boxes in /rt sv, one for the pre-cap and one for the post-cap values. Entering 0 in the post cap input box will make the hit cap an hard cap, just like it was pre release 3.0.1. Entering a non-zero value will properly simulate an hit soft cap instead.
    - SimulationCraft support. The upcoming version of simulationcraft will provide the user with a line similar to this:
    ( RhadaTip: "Warlock_T9_03_13_55": HitRating=3.94, SpellDamage=1.58, HasteRating=1.03, Spirit=1.11, CritRating=1.02, Intellect=0.37 )
    The user can then do a /rt inport ( RhadaTip: "Warlock_T9_03_13_55": HitRating=3.94, SpellDamage=1.58,HasteRating=1.03, Spirit=1.11, CritRating=1.02, Intellect=0.37 ) to load the scaling values faster and easier than before.
    - The gear optimizer will now always properly factor in 4ptier bonuses.
    - Updated locales.
    - Added support to tekKompare.
  • What other commands are there?
    Quite a few. You can access the complete list of available options by typing /rt in game. In here, I'll only spend a couple words on the following:
    /rt sv -> Opens up the scaling values' input frame.
    /rt hc -> Opens up the frame with useful functionalities like the hit cap, the average casting time, the auto filling gems, turn on/off the WoWEquip support etc.
    /rt og -> Opens up the Gem Optimizer frame.
    /rt ogear -> Opens up the Gear Optimizer frame.
    /rt pv -> Opens up the frame containing pre-set values for different specs and gear levels.
    /rt inport (...) -> Inports the scaling values using the string returned by SimulationCraft.
  • What assumptions does the mod make?
    - If the item diplayed in your tooltip has an empty socket slot, and you haven't picked up a default filling gem for that socket colour, the mod assumes that it is filled with a 19 spellpower fictitious gem. This gem will not count toward activating the socketbonus.
    - The hit cap is only taken into account when computing the "total gear dps = n" line, it is not taken into account when computing the "dps gain = n", as the scope of this latter line is local to the two compared items only.
    - Enchantments and prismatic sockets are ignored and in no way contribute to the xPS gains.
    - Trinkets like Illustration of the Dragon Soul are modeled as static gains. Keeping the stacks up is generally possible, and most classes can even stack the charges up before pulling.
    - The tooltip will read "DPS gain" if you have 81 or more hit rating, otherwise it will read "HPS gain". This is just the tooltip wording, so if you are leveling up a dk and have less than 80 hit rating, don't be scared, you are still seeing dps values.
    - The hit cap is considered an hard cap. After the cap, all the hit rating is worth nothing. If you have a soft hit cap, just change the hit scaling value once you are past it.
    - The hit cap is now (3.0.1) considered a soft cap.
    - The Avg Casting Time field in /rt hc is TIMEPERIOD (say 60 seconds) / NUMBER OF CASTS (that can proc trinkets).
    - Clicking a pre-set value button will only save scaling values, you will still have to configure the /rt hc frame for accurate values.
    - There are always two available slash commands for RhadaTip. One is /RhadaTip, the other is either /rt or /rtip, based on whether you have RaidTracker loaded or not.
  • What doesn't work in 3.0.0?
    The gear optimizer might ignore the 4ptier bonuses.
  • What doesn't work in 3.0.1?
    There is no known bug yet.
  • Which classes does it support?
    It was developed with warlocks in mind, but it should work out fine for every dps and healing class.
  • What is the difference between this mod and RatingBuster?
    This mod has xPS in its mind. RatingBuster is used to convert ratings into percentages, and to obtain a breakdown of the sum of all the stats on the tooltipped item. In no way it delivers actual xPS informations. Thus, none of the key features of RhadaTip listed in these f.a.q. is present in RatingBuster.
  • What is the difference between this mod and Pawn?
    Taken from the answers to the question "What does RhadaTip do" at the beginning of this f.a.q., the following RhadaTip features aren't found (or are radically different) in Pawn:
    • 1.2 (Trinkets)
    • 2 (Full gear evaluation...)
    • 2.1 (... leading to always accurate comparisons)
    • 2.2 (Tier set bonuses and hit cap)
    • 3 (the 1-click gear optimizer)
    • 4, 4.1 and 4.2 (the ability to go n items ahead of your current gear, to compare not just two items but n items, etc)
    • 4.3 (compare your gear to that of other playes)
    • 5 (support to dual specs)
    • 6, 6.1 and 6.2 (the gem optimizer)
    • 7, 7.1 (pre-set scaling values and auto-loading of the best scaling value template on login)
  • What is coming up next?
    - 3.3 trinkets and tier sets.
    - Remaining localizations ?
  • How can I contribute?
    - Help me with pre-saved scaling values, especially for the healing classes/specs.
    - Test the localizations.
    - Help me with a couple trinket models.
  • Compatibility issues.
    There are no known compatibility issues at the moment.

    I have encountered an odd problem on my rogue.

    On my warlock and hunter RhadaTip Works fine, but when I logged on my rogue and typed /rt pv and chose what PV I thought worked (I have 2 pc t9, some of those setups I did not understand (such as 51/13/7 NoM) so I just went with 51/13/7

    After I did that, and scrolled over some gear it showed my dps to be in the 100,000's

    Now while I wish that would be true, I know otherwise and I was wondering if i messed up a setting or something to make this oddity occur, all my gear shows the right dps value on it, but the overall dps and the dps change like I said in between 150k and 180k...I tried to find a way to erase all my values but I cannot seem to do that besides reinstalling RT and I don't want to do that

    What should I do?

    Great add on btw :)

    ok i did some fiddling and I found it has to do with my cast time which was set at default to 9999, If i mess with it it lowers/increase my dps but I am not sure where to stick it at...thats the only issue right now

    You should try to find it out by checking on a wws/wowmeteronline, possibly in a raid with the proper composition and on a pretty static fight.

    can you give me an idea how my rogue would calculate the speed? I am not sure how I would go about doing that, I went on the dummies and dpsed for a minute and ended up with 137 "possible trinket activation swings" and i rounded up to around a .5 speed but I dont think thats right cause it says my dps should be around 8k and I know it isn't

    Reply Report Permalink
  • tylerdurden2 said

    If anything, on the dummies you have a lower bound of what it should be, since in a raid environment your haste rating is surely higher. Anyway an incorrect value will only influence the on prot trinkets values. Also, don't think of the rhadatip gear value as "what dps I should be doing", the scales are simulated on a patchwerk style fight and all the rest.

    Thanks for this amazing addon. I have a small request. Since I'm updating my scale factors after each item upgrade using Simulationcraft it would be nice if I could simply import the Pawn string that Simulationcraft generates into RhadaTip. If it isn't too much trouble to implement I'd really like to see that feature.

  • tylerdurden2 said

    Good suggestion, I worked on it right away and I've now implemented it. Would you be up for testing it privately?

    Sure, I'd love to but unfortunately I won't be home for the next 4 hours, after that gladly.

    I have a slight problem. At first run RT showed BOTH DPS and HPS values on my gear (on my deathknight). Subsequent logins seem to ONLY dislay anything related to HPS (or, more probably DPS, but it just displays it as "HPS"). It's a bit disorientating, since my main is a healer and there I need to see HPS, but on my DK I'd rather watch for DPS values...

    As it says in the faq:

    The tooltip will read "DPS gain" if you have 81 or more hit rating, otherwise it will read "HPS gain". This is just the tooltip wording, so if you are leveling up a dk and have less than 80 hit rating, don't be scared, you are still seeing dps values.

    How much hit rating do you have on your dk?

    really great addon but got a couple questions I have not seen an answer to here or on ejerks forums.
    1)when im running simulationcraft for the values to fill in do i run it with all buffs available or none of them or what because i get different numbers depending on what i have selected in simulationcraft
    2) will i need to rerun and get new values whenever i get new gear or will the the numbers remain pretty close to the same

    hopefully you can clarify this for me or point me in the right direction thanks in advance

    1) All buffs up, at least all the buffs that you expect to get on your typical raiding nights. For example, if you only do 10 men raids with your guild, and you don't have a Moonkin at the moment, you should de-select moonkin aura.

    2) Ideally, as you stack more and more of a stat, that stat's scaling value will decrease, and the other stats' increase. If you just replace one item though, the variance is so small, that you can safely keep the old scales. After upgrading a few items, if the upgrade was significant (t7 to t9) etc, I'd fire a quick recompute, it won't take too much of your time anyway.
