As an example, with RB you'd see something along the lines of:
+ 940 spirit
- 560 crit
- 560 haste
which you would then need to use your understanding of your stats to understand.
Pawn, however, gives you a score for each item, similar to the WoWhead scores you can generate by plugging in stat weights. As an example:
You may have 2 588 pieces with int. Equipped you have 1831 spirit/ 1753 crit, which yields an example pawn rating of 1047. The second is 1968 spirit / 1520 haste, which yields an example score of 1068. Pawn, in the same place rating buster is in your tooltips now, will show "1051 (1% upgrade)". Pawn factors in all stats, gem slots, gemming bonuses, and reforge possiblities on items & has default stat weights you'll want to edit to get your own (but it's nice to have for alts you dont optimize). It's worth noting that, like rating buster, pawn is pretty useless when looking at trinkets or tier bonuses.
