Pawn

Version: 1.8.4

by: VgerAN [More]

Pawn calculates scores for items to help you easily find upgrades for your gear. It's completely customizable, and applicable to any class and situation: for example, it can help you decide whether to equip the ring with a higher item level but one stat you don't want (say, strength for shamans), or the ring with the lower item level but all good stats. It's that level of customization that makes it very different from more general mods like GearScore and more specialized mods like TankPoints.

Pawn can be used by new players right off the bat without needing to change any options, or by advanced players who plan out their gear upgrades, build Excel spreadsheets, install Rawr, and read Elitist Jerks.

Language support

Pawn works with English, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, and Simplified Chinese, and includes an untested translation into Traditional Chinese. Unlike most addons, it's NOT possible to use the English version on a language that it doesn't support. (If you're interested in helping translate Pawn into other languages, let me know!)

Staying in touch

For fastest assistance with Pawn, leave a comment here or check the official thread at Curse. You can also 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.

Getting started

Pawn will automatically set itself up to work with your characters, but there's a lot that you can do to customize it. See the readme file included with Pawn for more information on getting the most out of Pawn.

Version 1.8.4

Priests will no longer incorrectly see bows, crossbows, and guns as potential upgrades when using the built-in Wowhead scales.

Version 1.8.3

Sha-touched items from Heart of Fear and Terrace of Eternal Spring (all difficulties) will now always be valued (for base value) as if you've completed Wrathion's Chapter II questline and can add a prismatic socket to the item.
Added a Brailian Portuguese translation. Thanks maxmag!
Includes minor updates to the other translations.
Fixed a couple minor display issues on the Compare tab when one item had sockets and the other did not.
Thunderforged and Heroic Thunderforged items on the English PTR will no longer show (?) on their tooltips.

Version 1.8.2

Fixed a bug in average item level calculations when inspecting hunters. (Their ranged weapons were only getting counted for half the appropriate level.)
The Reforging Advisor will now also show up when you right-click an item while talking to an arcane reforger.

Version 1.8.1

This version of Pawn now includes French support, thanks to translation volunteers othor and Snuff, and an untested Traditional Chinese translation based on work by BNSSNB.
Reduced Pawn's memory usage by about 35% (at least on my PC) by optimizing the way translations are loaded. Pawn's memory usage should return to about where it was back when it was for a single language only.
Corrected a calculation problem where the Ghost Iron Dragonling trinket was undervalued because Pawn suggested Cataclysm cogwheels for it instead of Mists of Pandaria cogwheels. (Thanks durandal42!)
Fixed a minor problem that could occur when using the Compare tab if you used Pawn in the past (or on another computer), then stopped using it, then sold some of your best items, and then started using it again.

Version 1.8

This version of Pawn now works for German and Russian in addition to English. Big thanks to the translation volunteers Sandmahn and mgotovtsev! It also has an untested Simplified Chinese translation based on work by bigbamboo.
This version also contains a large number of changes to prepare for German, Russian, and more languages in the future.
Some now-unnecessary information that was being stored in Pawn's SavedVariables file will now be removed when logging out.
Reorganized the Options tab to make it a bit cleaner. Options for changing the digits of displayed precision for values and for controlling the visibility of (?) icons on tooltips were removed.
Changed a bunch of bits of text throughout Pawn.
Worked around a problem that occurred with Pawn annotations showing up on AtlasLoot items twice. (To show Pawn annotations on AtlasLoot items, click Options in AtlasLoot and then check Use GameTooltip.)
Added support for the Pyrium Weapon Chain and Living Steel Weapon Chain.
Crystals of Fear will now no longer improperly show (?) on their tooltips.

Thanks! I agree. I've got plans on my to-do list to add a second-best stat when hit and/or expertise is the best. Hopefully I'll get to it sooner rather than later.

Not really. One computer, same account, same SVs; don't use Pawn in main raid mod sets, only LFR. The potential exists that those gloves were vendored prior to or after doing LFR Spine, though (not the first time have been there for sure).

Had respeced my offspec from Ret to Holy for a couple of days for the first time in months; was on main spec tank in LFR there at the time. All Holy (& Ret) gear had was in backpacks. First time in there with a Holy offspec that can remember; that may have been a contributing factor.

Will try 1.5.20 and see if it reoccurs.

VgerAN An Aku'mai Servant Forum posts: 36 File comments: 210 Uploads: 7	Okay, I can see how that might happen, at least theoretically. An upgrade dropped, and what Pawn previously thought was your best item for healing (Flash Freeze Gauntlets from Blackwing Descent) wasn't an item that your computer had item stats for from the server yet. I think that would only happen if you didn't actually own that item anymore (because you should always have the stats for items in your inventory and bank). For example, that could happen if you vendored or disenchanted those gloves using a different computer than the one you were playing on when you downed Spine of Deathwing. Does that sound similar to what happened? I should have it fixed in 1.5.20. In that case, the new item will still show up as an upgrade, but Pawn just won't try (and fail) to show what item it's an upgrade for.

Error thrown on group loot roll frames in LFR

As per the subject: Pawn 1.5.19, USEng client/server, WoW 4.3.3.15354 live, 85 Paladin tank, standard Blizzard group loot roll frames appearing after killing Spine of Deathwing in LFR.

Have Pawn set to show its tooltip to suggest upgrade status on the loot roll frames. When the frames appeared (first time during the session; I joined the LFR with 2 bosses already dead), the Pawn tooltip appeared empty instead of showing data. And an error was thrown up:

Re: Where to find updated values for 4.3

Merry Christmas to you too! When in doubt I'd take updated EJ threads over the Wowhead numbers most anyday, so definitely you're on the right track. Creating your own scale isn't too hard. What I'd suggest is to start with the default Wowhead one even if you're not going to keep any of the numbers—that way you get a few paladin-specific settings automatically set for you, like the color pink for your numbers, a preference for plate after hitting level 50, the inability to use daggers, and so on. Go to the Scales tab in the Pawn UI, choose "Paladin: tank", and click Copy and choose a new name.

Then, go to the Values tab. For each stat in the list of stat values in your EJ thread, go to that stat in Pawn and type in the number. It doesn't matter if the numbers are in the 100s or in the 1s and 2s as long as they're consistent. Should just take a minute and be much simpler than figuring out how to get the bottoms of your columns to line up in a CSS layout.

There aren't a whole lot of guides that include an actual Pawn scale tag that can be pasted in, but as long as there's a table of stats and values you can use Pawn with it just fine.

Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Re: Shield vs Off-Hand

Hi! Does your shield show a value at all? Are you using one of the built-in Wowhead scales or one of your own?

What can I do to fix it?

I've read both arguments and agree with EJ. My problem is I can't find anywhere that people actually post new scales for pawn. Every website I find was last updated in 2009!!! (zOMG!!) Is there a place where people actually share PAWN scales that are current? Is there a guide or tutorial that shows how to make your own scales? I'd like to modify the scale it just seams overly complicated for me (And I spend my hours in HTML5, CSS3, SASS, SCSS modifying complicated calculations for clients websites - which is no simple task and perhaps more complicated than this!) Can someone help point me in the right direction please? Thanks, VinUnleaded P.S. Merry Christmas

VgerAN An Aku'mai Servant Forum posts: 36 File comments: 210 Uploads: 7	I don't know of any issues off hand (har har har), but I think the issue there is probably that those nice jugs you have there are one-handed weapons so they don't get any value from either the MH DPS or the OH DPS stats, but rather the 1H DPS stats. Pawn currently doesn't have a concept of giving one item a different value based on which hand it's going in, so it has to go based on the weapon type. I'm not really sure how to best handle a value scale with different MH/OH DPS values like that. :-/ But what some people do is to have two nearly identical scales, one for main hand weapons and one for off-hand weapons, and the only difference between them is that in one scale the value for one-handed weapon DPS is the main-hand DPS value and off-hand weapons are hidden entirely for that scale, and in the other scale the one-handed weapon DPS is the off-hand DPS value and everything EXCEPT one-hand weapons and off-hand weapons are hidden for that scale. Then you'd only get one value shown for each item, except one-hand items, which would show two separate values. Kind of a pain, but it works.
