Hiya. Firstly thx for such a much needed mod to help with the calculations for a paly tank build :]
I just wanted to give some friendly advise for improvements to the mod.
It's good that your mod gives the necessary stats and calculations for us, but there does not seem to be any instructions what these points are or how to use them.
Would it be possible to add in a better menu system where people can view the target def rating and avoidance point needed to be uncritable and uncrushable ? That would really help noobies such as myself that have no clue how to use these stats to improve their tanking abilities.
I understand, that depending on the racial, the tank stats needed may be slightly different. So maybe add in an information tool tip in the option menu people can see based on what racial they select in the options.

Unlike Shield Block, Holy Shield does not push Crushing Blows off the table by itself. Additional prevention is required. Their main priority is to get their Defense Skill up to 490. If they have the Anticipation talent, then this requires 288 Defense Rating, else it takes 336 Defense Rating. Human Paladins with Holy Shield up and 490 Defense (with or without Anticipation) have the following Crushing Blow prevention against a level 73 mob:
68.53% + (Defense Rating beyond 490 Defense / 15)% + (Dodge Rating / 18.9)% + (Parry Rating / 23.7)% + (Block Rating / 7.9)% + (Agility Bonus / 25)% (+5% with Deflection) (+5.31% with Libram of Repentance) (+30% with Redoubt)
Human Paladins need an additional 31.47% chance to prevent Crushing Blow and Regular Hit. To upgrade Crushing Blow prevention by 1%, you need:
- 7.9 Block Rating
- 15 Defense Rating (Warrior and Paladin)
- 18.9 Dodge Rating
- 22.4 Parry Rating
- 25 Agility (Paladin)
For the sake of simplicity, let's assume you have the Anticipation and Deflection talents maxed out and have the Libram of Repentance equipped (these are mandatory in your early days of fighting Crushing Blow, though you can possibly replace these later on). Since Redoubt is unreliable, I'll stop including it into calculations. If you managed to get 288 Defense Rating from gear, your avoidance will be:
78.84% + (Defense Rating beyond 288 / 15)% + (Dodge Rating / 18.9)% + (Parry Rating / 23.7)% + (Block Rating / 7.9)% + (Agility Bonus / 25)%
That is 21.16% short of Crushing Blow immune. To reach 100% prevention of Crushing Blow and Regular hit while remaining immune to Critical Hits, you need:
- 288 Defense Rating + 168 Block Rating
- 288 Defense Rating + 318 additional Defense Rating = 606 Defense Rating
- 288 Defense Rating + 400 Dodge Rating
- 288 Defense Rating + 474 Parry Rating
- 288 Defense Rating + 529 Agility Bonus
Of course, you can use a combination of Block Rating, additional Defense Rating, Dodge Rating, Parry Rating and Agility Bonus, as long as the following formula gives a result of 21.16% or higher:
(Block Rating / 7.9)% + (Defense Rating beyond 288 / 15)% + (Dodge Rating / 18.9)% + (Parry Rating / 22.4)% + (Agility Bonus / 25)%
I found this information from this Allakhazam forum thread. I am not sure whether it is up to date or not. Today wow just released a new patch.
They are optional plug-ins as I designed Tankadin2 to be a lot more flexable than the original, and even able to run on other tanking classes. Keep a look under the Optional Files tab for new toys to play with.
so, i found it important (and thus tested it) to determine if a positive value on "critable" was good or bad given the lack of the awesome coloring in older versions. (negative is bad if you're reading and did not realize... i checked with my Fire Resist set). great mob with much more configuration than before... will the RD and AD files be attached in the future?
