Pawn

Version: 2.8.7

by: VgerAN [More]

Find upgrades, do more damage, win.

Pawn helps you find upgrades for your gear and tell which of two items is better for your spec. Start with built-in advice from Ask Mr. Robot, or customize Pawn's stat weights to have it suggest items based on your favorite class guide or simulator. Pawn can help you decide whether it's better to use the cloak with 500 mastery or the one with 450 crit—whether you're just starting out, or you're an advanced player who plans out gear upgrades and regularly simulates and evaluates performance.

Getting started

If you're new to Pawn, don't worry—Pawn will automatically set itself up to give you advice based on math done by the experts at Ask Mr. Robot (or, on Classic, HawsJon). Just watch for Pawn's green arrows. If you decide you want to go further, there are a lot of ways that you can customize Pawn, by tracking multiple specs at once, importing custom stat weights, and more.

Language support

Pawn now works with all languages on both live/retail and Classic. It's possible that you might run into stats that Pawn doesn't recognize from time to time when playing on non-English clients—if you think that Pawn's not calculating something right, put an item into the Compare tab and see if it lists all of the stats there. If something's missing, let me know which item and which language, and I should be able to get it fixed!

Staying in touch

Become a fan of Vger on Facebook and get updates of new versions and stuff like that. You can also leave questions or comments there if you don't have an account on this site. (I typically respond to questions much more quickly on Facebook or Curse.)

Found a bug?

If you think you might have found a bug, just leave a comment here. In addition to a description of the problem, please make sure to include: (1) the language that you use Pawn and WoW in, (2) whether it's live/retail or Classic, (3) the specific items that don't work as expected, and (4) your class and spec if you're using the built-in (not custom) stat weights. Screenshots are usually very helpful as well.

Incompatible with...

Pawn will not work with Titan Panel Artifact Power or Combat Numbers Separator. Those addons change item tooltips and will cause Pawn to give bad advice. It's also been reported that using Pawn with TradeSkillMaster can cause the game to crash or hang.

Version 2.8.7

Classic: Added support for the Classic trade skill and crafting window: hovering over the item icon in that window should now work the same as if the item were already in your bags.

Version 2.8.6

Dragonflight: More new stat weight updates, updated for patch 10.2.0.

Version 2.8.5

Dragonflight: New stat weights have been included for all classes and specs, including all evoker specs, based on the latest Ask Mr. Robot raid simulation data.

Version 2.8.4

To keep things responsive, especially on the slower Classic versions of the game, Pawn has a new system that caps how much processing power it will allow bag addons to use when calculating which items get green upgrade arrows. Roughly speaking, if the game runs at 60 FPS for you, Pawn will block bag addons from reducing that by more than 2 FPS. (This change doesn't affect you if you aren't using a custom bag addon.)

Version 2.8.3

Wrath Classic: The new gems for Content Phase 3 (Cardinal Ruby, etc.) will now show up in recommendations, and will be taken into account when determining the value of sockets on high-level gear.

Version 2.8.2

Dragonflight: Dragonflight 10.1.0 has a game bug that was causing Pawn to show the wrong information on "currently equipped" tooltips. That bug is fixed in Dragonflight 10.1.5. Pawn will stop annotating "currently equipped" tooltips until 10.1.5 launches.
Dragonflight: Added support for the 10.1.5 PTR.
Dragonflight: Added support for Augmentation Evokers. If you're using Pawn in Automatic mode (the default), you don't need to do anything extra. If you're using Pawn in Manual mode, you'll need to import your own Augmentation scale or use (shift-click) the one that comes with Pawn. (Stat weights for Augmentation aren't available yet so it's a placeholder in this version of Pawn.)

Version 2.8.1

Dragonflight: Fixed a problem that could occur when showing Pawn's version number on 10.1.0.

Version 2.8.0

Updated for Dragonflight: Embers of Neltharion (10.1.0).

Unfortunately that takes us even farther down the road toward tons of new things that need to be translated for each language that Pawn wants to work in, and items that don't work in Pawn anymore every time a patch changes the phrasing used. I'd like to go the other direction if possible—getting out of the business of needing tons of translation work to even function properly in languages other than English.

I've been thinking about how to improve Pawn's trinket handling. After reading a forum on EJs, I was thinking that it should be possible to calculate most trinkets now.

'use' would be (attribute*value/5)
'chance to' would be either (best case) (attribute*value/6) or (more accurate) (attribute*value*duration/(duration*6+procdelay)). Procdelay would likely need to be a tweekable value for each class (my rogue proc's everything in seconds, but my healer might not)

Though not perfect, it would give a solid ballpark value.

http://elitistjerks.com/f72/t110294-...y_me/#Trinkets

Fortunately, in Cataclysm, Blizzard has greatly simplified matters. With some rare (and generally obvious) exceptions, trinkets with a proc ("Chance on X to boost stat by Y for Z seconds") have an internal cooldown equal to 5 times Z (the duration of the proc's buff). Trinkets with an on-use effect ("Use: Increases stat by Y for Z seconds") have a cooldown equal to 6 times Z (the duration of the on-use buff). When you consider that procs won't go off the second the ICD is up, on top of the fact that it's harder to line up procs than it is to line up on-use effects, the two end up with near-identical uptime, although proc-based trinkets do come out slightly ahead.

On top of that, the budget of the stat proc/use is now equal to the budget of the passive stat.

Zidomo A Cliff Giant Forum posts: 76 File comments: 1046 Uploads: 0	Requesting an option to remove the "coin" overlay on the NPC quest reward frame and/or completely separate it from the Show upgrade advisors option. Certainly, those upgrade advisor overlays on both the loot & NPC quest reward frames can be useful. But the additional "highest value" coin overlay on quest reward frames is something that really should be an option (or taken out of the mod). The coin overlay has nothing at all to do with item stat values that Pawn has traditionally provided. And its something often done through quest mods, thus duplicating functionality. So at least an option to disable the NPC quest reward coin overlays (while keeping the upgrade advisor ones) would be appreciated.

I did, I don't really know what's causing this. I use to use something called Wowhead Points, but it's being discontinued, and I was referred to Pawn. So I decided try it. The first time, I realized I forgot to remove Wowhead Points. So I removed it, and the scores still showed the same for Retribution and Protection. I'm assuming something got screwed up in the WTF folder, or something was left behind in it, that is interfering with it. See before I started using Pawn, Wowhead Points actually did that, and I reported it to the author, that's when I was referred to Pawn and was told the development of that addon was no longer going to be kept up.

Yeah, it isn't that much of a problem but I was on my 66 lock and there were quite a few suggested upgrades for the shoulder slot.

I AM seeing a problem where sometimes the first time you look at a quest the wrong items are highlighted, and hopefully I'll figure out what's going on there soon. Maybe that's what you're seeing.

I just installed Pawn and ran into this. The quest was http://www.wowhead.com/quest=27509 and it had the coins on the relic instead of the more expensive plate head. Hope this helps track down the bug.
