Version 0.7.2 fixes the problem of special weapon DPS stats not appearing on weapons. Existing scales that were created in previous versions will be automatically corrected.

I released a quick 0.7.1, mainly to add the spell hit and spell crit stats to the UI, which I forgot in the 0.7 release. (Oops.) Also in this version, Pawn values on item link windows will automatically update as you make changes to your scale, so you can immediately see the effects of your changes.

Heart.

The big day is here: Pawn 0.7 is released, along with a configuration UI so you can make all your changes in-game without ever manually editing your SavedVariables again. As if that weren't enough, I've finally squashed that annoying bug where unenchanted values would go away after a while. There are other random little fixes and enhancements here and there in 0.7 too. I definitely recommend checking it out. Upgrade to 0.7 and type "/pawn" to get started.

There's a German translation on WoWUI.IncGamers.com that goes by the name "Pawn(ger)". I don't know what state it's in, but I think that the author is still maintaining it. There's a ton of work involved in translating Pawn to another language, but everything necessary is kept in the file Localization.lua.

I just posted beta 2. It has a few bug fixes, by far the most notable of which is that that the long-standing problem where unenchanted item values would stop working after a while is finally gone. I think.

Pawn 0.7 beta 1 has arrived! What's new in this version? Oh, just a brand new configuration UI for creating, sharing, and modifying your Pawn scales. You never have to edit those SavedVariables files again. To open it, just type "/pawn" in chat. (To get to the old help text that used to be there, type "/pawn help".)

* Since it is a beta, before you make changes to your scales in Pawn 0.7, I highly recommend that you back them up by either making a copy of your SavedVariables\Pawn.lua file, or by exporting each of them and saving the scale tags in a file on your computer.

ExpertiseRating and ArmorPenetration are the names of the stats you're looking for. All recent versions of Pawn support these stats. If you see asterisks (*) next to those stats on items, you should update to 0.6.3. If those stats don't get asterisks, then your version of Pawn is probably recent enough, and you just need to add ExpertiseRating and ArmorPenetration to your scale. ExpertiseRating is (theoretically) as valuable as any of the primary stats except Stamina, and based on what I see on WoWWiki, Blizzard seems to value ArmorPenetration as about 1/10th as much as a primary stat.

It's best to always be using the most recent release of Pawn, as I need to update it whenever Blizzard changes the way that item tooltips look and work, which is just about every patch. Patch 0.3 made a ton of changes that require a new version of Pawn.

"Soon," using the Blizzard forums definition of "soon." :)

Pawn 0.7 beta 1 now has a configuration UI. Feel free to try it out, or wait until the final non-beta release of 0.7.

What are your values for CritRating, Stamina, and BlueSocket? When you put those gems into the sockets, the item loses the 1 BlueSocket stat and gains 4 CritRating and 6 Stamina in its place. So, if the total value of the stats on the gem you socket are less than the value of the socket, the value will go down and thus the unenchanted value will be higher. I do it this way so that if you come across two drops in a dungeon and one is socketed and one is not, they're still comparable. I recommend that you value a socket based on your favorite gem of that color.

I realize that WoW patch 2.3 hasn't been released yet; I'm doing this because I might not be able to post the new version in a timely manner tomorrow. If new issues arrive, I'll release a quick Pawn update to resolve them as soon as possible. Much of Pawn's functionality is affected in some way by 2.3, though, so this is an important update.

I've posted the WoW 2.3 version of Pawn, Pawn 0.6.3. There have been some significant changes since the 0.6.2 release and the early versions of 0.6.3. Highlights:

* Pawn support in guild banks and the socketing UI
* More support for the "free spell damage for healers" and additional gems in patch 2.3
* Several updates to accomodate item changes that were made in 2.3, such as the new display of meta gems and set items
* In many cases, (finally) support for fake item tooltip mods like AtlasLoot and ItemSync in conjunction with tooltip-mangling mods like Rating Buster
* Fixed that annoying bug where some items like Stalker's Helm of Second Sight and other items with both durability and special non-standard stats got asterisks on the wrong line

That "unenchanted item should not be nil" error that people were seeing in early 0.6.3 betas is disabled.

That error has been disabled for the final release of 0.6.3, though I haven't been able to figure out what was causing the problem it's complaining about. In the meantime, you can still use 0.6.2, which should work just fine on the live realms. I'll release a final non-beta version of 0.6.3 when patch 2.3 hits.
