Pawn

Version: 2.9.11

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 2.9.11

Cataclysm Classic: More updates to correctly read numbers larger than 999 on items when playing in French.

Version 2.9.10

Cataclysm Classic: Fixed a problem where the default stat weights for expertise were incorrect for all classes and specs.

Version 2.9.9

Cataclysm Classic: Fixed a problem where certain items with mastery and certain haste enchantments had those stats ignored when playing in Russian, European Spanish, and Latin American Spanish.
You can now click an item link in chat and then Alt+LeftClick the popup that appears to get a window that lets you copy all of the text on that item to the clipboard. (This is mostly only useful to me when I need to type Искусность but my keyboard doesn't have those letters.) Previously this feature only worked on Pawn's Compare tab.

Version 2.9.8

Fixed a problem introduced in Pawn 2.9.7 that caused the "Show icons next to tooltips" feature to cause an error. (Actually, Ulidan did. Thanks Ulidan and Kraturnus!)
Cataclysm Classic: Ranged Attack Power no longer appears as a distinct stat you can give a weight to; just use Attack Power for both melee and ranged.
Cataclysm Classic: Updated the default stat weights for retribution paladins.

Version 2.9.7

The War Within: Pawn now works on The War Within beta and WoW 11.0.
Mists of Pandaria Remix: Fixed another case where the socketing advisor could appear and give dubious advice.

Version 2.9.6

Mists of Pandaria Remix: Pawn's socketing advisor is now disabled in this mode, since gems work differently.
Cataclysm Classic: Updated default stat weights for all specs and classes are included, thanks to the WoWSims team. Simulations are still in their early stages, so expect some oddities—let me know if you find something egregiously wrong. Simulating your character with WoWSims (or any other favorite sim) will get you the most accurate results, and you can export custom stat weights to use in Pawn for quick in-game advice.
Cataclysm Classic: You can now set a weight for the non-stat effect of meta gems like you could in Burning Crusade Classic and Wrath Classic.
Cataclysm Classic: The deprecated stats Defense Rating and Block Value will no longer show up in Pawn.
Classic Era and Season of Discovery: Fixed a harmless error message about gem data.

Version 2.9.5

Fixed some problems introduced in Pawn 2.9.4 where Pawn could give you an error when socketing an item.
Cataclysm Classic: Added support for the armor specialization skills such as Mail Specialization.

Version 2.9.4

Cataclysm Classic: Cogwheel sockets on engineering goggles will now be considered in the item's value like any other gem socket.
Cataclysm Classic: Fixed a bug that caused gems with bad secondary stats to be valued more highly than they should have been (it was calculating things as if you could reforge the gem's bad stat into something better). The bug shouldn't have affected the values of existing items unless you were using gems that are bad for your spec.

Version 2.9.3

Cataclysm Classic: Fixed a problem where the "track for each scale (advanced)" option could cause an error.
Cataclysm Classic: Pawn will no longer display a warning when logging in if you play in French.

Version 2.9.2

Cataclysm Classic: When visiting an Arcane Reforger, Pawn will now display advice on how to reforge the item to maximize its power. (You can turn this off with the "show reforge advisor" option.)
Cataclysm Classic: Pawn's Compare tab will now show you how much an item's score can be improved by reforging it (assuming you make the change that Pawn suggests).
Cataclysm Classic: Pawn will now take reforging into account when determining an item's score and whether or not it's an upgrade.

Version 2.9.1

Cataclysm Classic: Pawn will now recommend the proper gems based on the new colors and stats of existing gems.
Cataclysm Classic: Fixed a bug that caused a few stat weights to get reset to 0 when editing in the Weights tab and then reloading.
Cataclysm Classic: Added support for all of the new Cataclysm gems, which Pawn will start recommending as you get Cataclysm gear.
Fixed a bug that caused gems to always appear as upgrades.

Version 2.9.0

Cataclysm Classic: Added basic support for Cataclysm Classic. The following important work is not yet done:
Updated stat weights (if you know of a good source, please let me know!)
Reforging support
I'm not playing Classic, so I'll need your help pointing out remaining things that are broken!

VgerAN A Cyclonian Forum posts: 40 File comments: 253 Uploads: 6	Pawn 1.4 is out to coincide with the release of WoW 4.0. There aren't really new features per se, but it's fully updated for the new stat changes in this patch. Consider this a "required" upgrade.

VgerAN A Cyclonian Forum posts: 40 File comments: 253 Uploads: 6	Yeah, I don't think that would be too hard. I've got a pretty big feature in the works that I hope to have done before Cataclysm launches that will take priority, but I can probably get some reforging stuff done pretty soon. The math for deciding what to reforge is pretty simple, but there are some cases where it's going to be hard to do on the fly: if you have a little of a bad stat and a lot of a mediocre stat, it's not obvious which of the two to reforge for the maximum benefit, since reforging works on a percentage of the original stat number. Pawn could definitely help with that.

Talryn A Fallenroot Satyr Forum posts: 27 File comments: 25 Uploads: 9	Vger, not sure if you've thought about it, but adding in an option to show the optimal reforging for each item seems like a great idea for 4.0.1/Cataclysm.

I can send you the information in a PM if it'd help.

Yeah, any details would be helpful. Pawn depends on reading text on the tooltips to function properly, so anything that changes them is problematic.

I haven't been able to reproduce this under any circumstances. Can you try with just Pawn enabled? And assuming the error doesn't happen anymore, can you try to identify which other addon is conflicting with it?

Pick up the alpha version from here:
http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/pawn/files/

I've fixed almost all of the Cataclysm-specific issues in that version.

VgerAN A Cyclonian Forum posts: 40 File comments: 253 Uploads: 6	Thanks for the report and the extra details. The typo that caused this is fixed in Pawn 1.3.11, so pick that up as soon as it's approved and you should be good to go! This problem would occur for staves and polearms (weapons that only have two-handed versions) for any class that can't also equip two-handed axes, maces, and swords (everyone except warriors). I unfortunately didn't catch it because I do most of my testing on my bank alt... who is a warrior.

juhakosk A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 32 Uploads: 0	For some reason Pawn is not showing any values in tooltip for staffs for my mage. Using default arcane and fire scales, and on values tab Staff does not have that (unusable) text after it, so it should show me the values in tooltip. -- Did some testing of my own: I took a copy of the default arcane scale, took the (unusable) away from Sword: 2H and i can see the copied scale on tooltip. The staffs i tested this are Engraved Gargoyle Femur and Unspeakable Secret. So there might be something wrong in weapon types or something? This is one of my "must-have" addons, thanks for keeping it up to date!

VgerAN A Cyclonian Forum posts: 40 File comments: 253 Uploads: 6	Alrighty, more new goodness in Pawn 1.3.10. I'm now 99% sure that I've fixed that accursed issue with some people not being able to select scales. I SWEAR. Also, now you don't have to see item values on items that you can't equip -- for example, priests don't see values for priest scales on shields, even if it's a caster shield, because priests can't hold shields.

VgerAN A Cyclonian Forum posts: 40 File comments: 253 Uploads: 6	Thanks for the report; I haven't seen this yet. What items and enchantments are you hovering over? Are they low-level +damage enchantments? (Or can I just get an Armory link?) And, do you still run into this problem if Pawn is the only add-on enabled for your character?
