Pawn

Version: 2.8.11

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 2.8.11

Classic Season of Discovery: Added support for those new hit and crit stats, again. Because Blizzard broke them in a patch.

Version 2.8.10

Classic Season of Discovery: Added support for the new Gnomeregan items with hit or crit to all attacks. Items with the new hit stat will receive points for your Hit and Hit (Spell) stats, and items with the new crit stat will receive points for your Crit and Crit (Spell) stats.

Version 2.8.9

Dragonflight: Updated stat weights for all classes and specs.
Dragonflight: Updated Pawn's scale color button to work with the new patch 10.2.5 color picker.

Version 2.8.8

Dragonflight: Removed the "Only show upgrades for my best armor type after level 27" option. After level 27, Pawn will now always stop showing items that are not the right type of armor for your class.
Classic: Fixed a bug where Pawn would suggest armor your character can't wear as upgrades.
Classic: Fixed a bug where Pawn would sometimes suggest socketing Glinting Flame Spessarite when it meant to suggest Sovereign Shadow Draenite. This bug potentially affected any time Glinting Flame Spessarite was suggested (such as in the socketing advisor popup), but didn't affect any other calculations or upgrade suggestions.

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).

I was there at midnight waiting to do the last couple achievements and get my Violet Proto-Drake, so I became aware of the problem very quickly.

Can you put it back into pawn please?

I hate the default display of item levels because:
1) it's white, very hard to pick out, unlike Pawn's was.

2) It's right in the middle, instead of at the bottom like pawn's was. Again, not as good visually.

-------

I specifically disabled the default item level showing option and went back to Pawn's before the patch, and it would be nice if this was still an option.

At the least, if you could have an option in Pawn to recolor the default display of item level and/or move it to the bottom of the tooltip, I'd LOVE that!

Are you using the English version of World of Warcraft? This version of Pawn is for English only.

If you're on English and still seeing this, you'll need to disable the other mods that you're using that affect item tooltips and reenable them one or a few at a time until you can figure out which one is causing this to happen. If you can let me know that I may be able to work around the problem in a future version.

keseph A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 4 Uploads: 0	Ignoring socket color and bonus Is it possible to make Pawn ignore a (blue) socket color and associated socket bonus? As a fury warrior (though it's true of many other classes) it's substantially better to ignore all blue sockets and their socket bonuses except the one [or two] required for my meta gem. I could assign a blue socket the equivalent value of 20 str (what I would've socketed), but then it assumes it's also getting the socket bonus. The auto mode for gems doesn't do any better. Ideally, it should check the value of matching and getting the bonus vs not matching (and socketing the optimal gem) and take the higher of the two. Last edited by keseph : 10-03-09 at 08:32 PM.

That's exactly what Pawn should be doing. If you shift-click an item, you can see in the little pane below the socketing UI which gems Pawn thinks you should use given the values that you've set up. Those gems take into account socket bonuses and mis-socketing gems. If it's telling you to socket the correct color of gem, it's because the total value of the item would be higher if you did that rather than just (for example) stacking cardinal rubies.

Yes, and in the socketing UI for Edge of Agony (1x blue socket, bonus of 4 arp), it suggests Sovereign Dreadstone (total value of slightly under 14 SEP with my current weights) rather than Bold Cardinal Ruby (20 SEP). Further, the tooltip Base value reflects the Sovereign Dreadstone use, and therefore all my mis-matched socketed items have a higher current value than base value. Additionally, I have a couple different weight sets configured based on EP values above and below hit/exp caps, and the Base value in the tooltips is the same for all sets despite the fact that Guardian's Dreadstone (exp/stam) should have a higher value than Sovereign Dreadstone in the uncapped set (and indeed the socketing UI suggests using Sovereign in the uncapped weight set). I'll PM you a couple screenshots demonstrating what I mean, including the Compare window showing relevant stat weights. I would also consider it "odd" that when it found several gems with equal weight the socketing UI tip just says "1 Blue" (giving stam a pittance value to make it float to the top is a valid workaround, however).

(Click Export on the Scales tab and copy/paste here.) I'm trying to figure out what's going on here, but I don't have all the data; I can't see why Vivid Eye of Zul would be suggested because I don't know what value you have assigned to hit. But certainly something seems off.
