Pawn
Last Updated: Feb 3, 2018 Game Version: 7.3.5
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.
Language support
Pawn works with English, French, German, Italian, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish (European and Latin American), Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. Unlike most addons, Pawn's language has to match the language you play WoW in.
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.
Prerelease alpha versions of Pawn are occasionally available on CurseForge.
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. 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.
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) the specific items that don't work as expected, and (3) 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.

I've been wishing for a while that there was an option to show the downgrade % for an item vs something already equipped, usually in the context of evaluating an item for multiple stat scales for the same spec - for instance, a 2% downgrade for AoE but a 3% upgrade for Single Target would generally be worth doing but right now I'm having to math out the 2% downgrade % myself. I'd just like to see a red arrow with a % the same way I currently see a green arrow with a %.

Posted Nov 2, 2017I'm going to put this in the description at the top, but just because it bears repeating:
Sorry for the inconvenience—I don't expect to be checking Curse during the month of November. Please contact me via Facebook and I'll try to provide limited support when I can.

Posted Oct 31, 2017Why does the socketing adviser only show +150 gems while the addon itself shows the +200s?

Posted Nov 1, 2017Hi! It depends on the item level of the item; if it were a Wrath item then it might suggest like a +8 gem or something. The Gems tab by default just lists the best gems for any level of item, but you can see gems for a specific ilvl of item by typing that ilvl in the box at the top.

Posted Oct 25, 2017Thanks Salty! I've included that change in Pawn 2.2.15, so Pawn should be working on German 7.3.2 for everyone now after updating.

Posted Oct 25, 2017Line 1841 handles weapon speed. Comparing with older screenshots they changed the weapon speed name 'Tempo' to 'Geschwindigkeit'.
Bei mir half diese Änderung:
Pawn\Localization.deDE.lua öffnen, line 285 suchen (ungefähr in der Mitte der Liste).
alt: ["Speed"] = "^Tempo ([%d%.,]+)$",
neu: ["Speed"] = "^Geschwindigkeit ([%d%.,]+)$",

Posted Oct 24, 2017After the EU downtime I logged in and now, whenever I open my bags after a loadingscreen, a lot of "ERROR"s appear in the chat. I attached a screenshot to see what it looks like. I use a german client and just checked it on my arms warrior.

Posted Oct 14, 2017Pawn forgets what sets items are assigned to. I keep seeing upgrade indicators on items that are already assigned to sets for the specs that the indicator is indicating they're upgrades for.

Posted Oct 15, 2017Hi! Are you using the "Track upgrades for each scale (advanced)" option on Pawn's Options tab? That one might give you behavior a little closer to what you're looking for. By default, Pawn compares the items that you hover over to whatever you currently have equipped.
