Pawn

51 - Inappropriate upgrades suggested when doing low level quests

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Have a level 85 toon with all cataclysm epic level gear
2. Go questing in low level zones (eastern plaguelands for example)
3. Look at the suggested quest rewards.  

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Usually it is correctly marked the reward choices coins, but on at least 2 occasions, it suggested I should replace my cata epic rings with quest rewards that were about 40 levels below what I was wearing, and not epic...

What version of the product are you using?

1.5.16

    That specific suggestion is because that weapon is better than one of your two best ONE-handed weapons. Upgrades for one-handed and two-handed weapon sets are tracked separately, and so Pawn will mark those upgrades with something like "for 1H set" or "for 2H" to hopefully make that a bit more clear in the future. I agree that it's not really obvious though what's going on, and I'm still looking for good ways to improve this in the future.

    If you see this again in the future for rings (or anything besides 1H/2H weapons) I'd definitely still like to see a screenshot.

    Luckily, turning off suggestions for frost is easy—open up Pawn, and then shift-click "DK: frost" in the list at the top. (Or click it and then uncheck "show scale in tooltips" at the bottom of the list.)

    Hi,

    I've attached an excellent example of what I'm seeing. Note the primary stat on that weapon is Agility, which isn't even a DK stat...

    I figured out what the issue is: It is suggesting items for my "Frost" set. The problem is, my specs are "Blood" and "Unholy". Why is it suggesting gear for a spec I don't even have? I took a quick look at the options, and I didn't see an option to tell Pawn which specs to specifically track upgrades for.

    I've re-enabled pawn, as my other issues weren't related to it. I'll post a screenshot next time it happens.

    @VgerAN: Go

    The rings I'm wearing are all 365 item level, I can look up what they are specifically in a bit. The quest reward rings are all about item level 40-50, given the fact they are in the plaguelands. I've disabled Pawn for now given all of the bugs I hit when it's active. If I decide to re-enable it, and I am doing low level quests, and I see this again, I'll submit a screenshot.

    Can you give me some specifics? I have not seen this happen. For example, what rings were you wearing, what ring was a possible quest reward, and which scale were you using to compare them?
