Pawn
Pawn helps you find upgrades for your gear and tell which of two items is better for your spec.
- Comes with a bunch of presets from AMR
- Puts a number in your tooltip that shows both the overall value of the gear piece, as well as the percentage upgrade over what is currently equipped (if applicable)
- Scale
- Allows you to choose which scales to show in tooltips
- You can import or export, and create new scales here
- Weights
- Shows you the weights assigned to each stat for each scale
- Compare
- You can drop an item in this tab to get an in-depth look at where the upgrade numbers are coming from
- Gems
- Gives two options, best gem available or gems for a specific item level
- Options
- Choose between displaying only scale values, only % upgrade, or both
- Change how upgrades are displayed (arrows in bags, green outline on tooltips)
Tips and Tricks
- Pawn is very widely used, so you can find stat weights and import strings quite easily
- You can generate your own stat weights on AMR by running a gearing strategy simulation, which is much more advanced but also specific to your character and currently equipped gear
- Can also use Simulationcraft and Raidbots (covered in FAZ ep #36)
- Pawn will not work with Titan Panel Artifact Power or Combat Numbers Separator.
