so i found a video to use the pawn addon to identify upgrades for that character…its a paladin tank. according to icy veins, my stat priority is haste>mastery>Versatility>critical strike.
I had a helm on that gave to 66 crit and 33 mastery…just ran a heroic and got a helm that gave 42 to haste and 59 to versatility. same ilevel
if haste is my top stat why is pawn saying my old helm with crit and mastery is an upgrade?
its done this to a few pieces now…im having a hard time trying to understand why
You are simming DPS, not tanking.
Tanking can be about DPS. However there are many other factors.
That’s why you don’t want to use pawn or any other addon/sim to gear for tanking.
According to IV, prot pally stats are really
haste = mastery = versatility >> crit.
It’s really important to read the explanation if you’re going to blindly follow a guide.
It is important to take into account that Haste, Mastery, and Versatility are all extremely close in terms of value, and item level is by far the most important aspect of gear upgrades.
AskMrRobot is the only site I’m aware of that can help you calculate tank gear.
love these forums on how there always someone who cant help themselves being a prick
thx for the info i wont use pawn for tanking sim
pawn is only for dps. doesnt factor in healing or tanking ability. also it doesnt have updated stat list. for some reason it thinks crit is best unholy stat… even better than str for some dumb reason. dk stats are completely useless. you need to create your own stat weights in the addon.
