TankPoints 2.0 - A benchmark for tanking gear

Localized in: English, French, German

** About TankPoints **

TankPoints was created to help myself compare different pieces of tanking gear, because it was difficult to decided at a glance like whether +12 defense is better then +1 dodge.

TankPoints can be seen as how much damage you can take before damage reduction, it considers your max health, armor, defense, dodge, parry, block, block value, resilience, crushing blow chance, miss, crit reduction, talants, buffs, stance/forms, and more.

Keep in mind though, that higher TankPoints does not mean a better tank just maybe better gear, it is only a benchmark for "tanking GEAR" but not "tanking".
It can not decide for you what you should wear on what boss, but it can provide you with a wealth of information what will hopfully be useful for choosing gear.

** About TankPoints 2.0 **

TankPoints 2.0 is a complete rewrite of my original TankPoints for the 2.0 WoW using the Ace2 framework.

It has a much improved TankPoints algorithm, intergrates nicely into the character stats dropdown menu, and shows a lot more information then the original TankPoints.

2.0 introduced a new combat ratings system which made it even harder to compare gear, in order to code combat rating support for TankPoints, the exact rating to percentage formula is required which Blizzard didn't give us.
Luckly, I have suceessfully reverse engineered the rating formula for all levels and coded an addon called "Rating Buster" that converts ratings on item tooltips into percentages, you can try it out here.

** TankPoints 2.0 Features **

In addition to the original formula, the Imporved TankPoints 2.0 formula now has:

Support for all combat ratings including the new resilience stat
Support for block% and block value
Support for various class specific talants and buffs
Support for crushing blows
Support for combat table and correctly caps off at a total of 100%. Using Hit < Crushing < Crit < Block < Parry < Dodge < Miss
Support for mob stats:
- Mob level - defaults player level +3
- Mob damage
- Mob melee crit chance
- Mob melee crit bonus
- Mob melee miss chance
- Mob spell crit chance
- Mob spell crit bonus
- Mob spell miss chance

Improved TankPoints Calculator

TankPoints User Interface:

Intergrated in to the Character stats dropdown menu (See Screeshots)
When TankPoints is selected it displays:
- TankPoints
- Melee Damage Reduction
- Block Value
- Spell TankPoints
- Spell Damage Reduction
TankPoints tooltip:
- Your stance
- Mob Stats
  - Mob Level
  - Mob Damage (after damage reduction)
  - Mob Crit Chance
  - Mob Miss Chance
- TankPoints per StatValue - Shows how much TankPoints you gain for each stats with equal item values, because the values below are equal in the item value formula, you can use this data to see what gives the most bang for the buck in terms of item budgets.
  - 1 Agility =
  - 1.5 Stamina =
  - 10 Armor =
  - 1 Resilience =
  - 1 Defense Rating =
  - 1 Dodge Rating =
  - 1 Parry Rating =
  - 1 Block Rating =
  - 1.54 Block Value
- Option to hold down ALT key will show how much TankPoints you gain for each stat point
  - 1 Agility
  - 1 Stamina
  - 1 Armor
  - 1 Resilience
  - 1% Defense
  - 1% Dodge
  - 1% Parry
  - 1% Block
  - 1 Block Value
Melee Damage Reduction tooltip:
- Armor Damage Reduction against mob level - Useful because the default armor tooltip only shows the reduction for the same level
- Mob Level, Player Level
- Combat Table - Hit < Crushing < Crit < Block < Parry < Dodge < Miss
  The total of these chances must be capped at 100%, if you exceed 100% then lower priority values will be pushed off the table.
  For example, when you press shield block (+75% block chance), hit, crush and crit will all be pushed off and will be 0, your real block chance will also be capped at (100% - Parry% - Dodge% - Miss%)
Block Value tooltip - Block Value should have been included in the default UI, but they didn't so I coded my own function that does it, strength, items, talents(warrior, paladin, shaman) are all considered in the algorithm.
- Mob Damage before Damage Reduction (armor and stance effects)
- Mob Damage after Damage Reduction
- Blocked percentage = Block Value / Mob Damage after DR
- Block Chance
- Equivalent Block Mitigation = Block Chance * Blocked percentage
  This can be seen equal with the same amount of dodge or parry.
Spell TankPoints Tooltip - Shows your strongest school by default
- Your stance
- TankPoints at the following Melee/Spell Damage Ratio
  - 25% Melee Damage + 75% <school> damage
  - 50% Melee Damage + 50% <school> damage
  - 75% Melee Damage + 25% <school> damage
- Can manually cycle through all schools by left clicking the stat
- Reset back to showing the strongest school by right click the stat
Spell Damage Reduction - Shows your strongest school by default
- Shows damage reductions for all schools
- Same click functions as the Spell TankPoints Tooltip

Supported class talants and buffs:

Warrior: Improved Defensive Stance, Shield Mastery, Shield Wall - Buff, Death Wish - Buff, Recklessness - Buff, Toughness, Vitality
Druid: Survival of the Fittest, Natural Perfection, Thick Hide, Balance of Power, Heart of the Wild

** TankPoints Formulas **

TankPoints

tankPoints = playerHealth / (1 - totalReduction)

Melee Total Reduction

totalReduction[MELEE] = 1 - ((mobCritChance * (1 + mobCritBonus) * mobCritDamageMod) + (mobCrushChance * 1.5) + (1 - mobCrushChance - mobCritChance - blockChance * blockedMod - parryChance - dodgeChance - mobMissChance)) * (1 - armorReduction) * meleeTakenMod

Spell Total Reduction

totalReduction[SCHOOL] = 1 - ((mobSpellCritChance * (1 + mobSpellCritBonus) * mobSpellCritDamageMod) + (1 - mobSpellCritChance - mobSpellMissChance)) * (1 - schoolReduction[SCHOOL]) * spellTakenMod

Armor Reduction

Code:

levelModifier = attackerLevel
if ( levelModifier > 59 ) then
  levelModifier = levelModifier + (4.5 * (levelModifier - 59))
end
armorReductionTemp = armor / ((85 * levelModifier) + 400)
armorReduction = armorReductionTemp / (armorReductionTemp + 1)
if armorReduction > 0.75 then
  armorReduction = 0.75
end
if armorReduction < 0 then
  armorReduction = 0
end

Defense Effect

defenseEffect = (defense - attackerLevel * 5) * 0.04 * 0.01

Block Value From Strength

blockValueFromStrength = (strength * 0.05) - 1

Block Value

blockValue = floor(blockValueFromStrength) + floor((blockValueFromItems + blockValueFromShield) * blockValueMod)

Mob Damage (default formula)

mobDamage = (levelModifier * 55) * meleeTakenMod * (1 - armorReduction)

Resilience Effect

resilienceEffect = ReverseRating(resilience, playerLevel) * 0.01

Mob Crit Chance

mobCritChance = max(0, 0.05 - defenseEffect - resilienceEffect)

Mob Crit Bonus

mobCritBonus = 1

Mob Miss Chance

mobMissChance = max(0, 0.05 + defenseEffect)

mobCrushChance = 0.15 + max(0, (playerLevel * 5 - defense) * 0.02) (if mobLevel is +3)

Mob Crit Damage Mod

mobCritDamageMod = max(0, 1 - resilienceEffect * 2)

Blocked Mod

blockedMod = min(1, blockValue / mobDamage)

Mob Spell Crit Chance

mobSpellCritChance = max(0, 0 - resilienceEffect)

Mob Spell Crit Bonus

mobSpellCritBonus = 0.5

Mob Spell Miss Chance

mobSpellMissChance = 0

Mob Spell Crit Damage Mod

mobSpellCritDamageMod = max(0, 1 - resilienceEffect * 2)

Resistance Reduction

schoolReduction[SCHOOL] = 0.75 * (resistance[SCHOOL] / (mobLevel * 5))

darkra A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 11 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	calculator bug The stats TankPoint Calculator shows for my char are off by 36 defense rating compared to Blizzard's "defenses" tab (meaning dodge, parry, block values are all wrong). I tried unequipping all my gear and seams the bug persists, it's not caused by a miscalculation in one of my items stats but rather my base stats. Does anyone else got a similar problem? As you can see only when I add 36 def rating do the calculator values match Blizzard's Last edited by darkra : 10-06-2007 at 05:25 PM.

Romie A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 10 File comments: 5 Uploads: 0	Hi i love this mod but one small issue, im a paladin tank and after updating to the newest version my i have gone from 3% to 5% to be crushed with holy shield active in the same gear. Just wondering what has caused this? All i can think of is either the older version i was using had problems with doing the maths correctly or the newer version has a problem doing the maths correctly. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks Jerome

This seems to stay consistent when swapping out gear as well, doesn't fluctuate. Maybe something odd with Pally talents somehow?

Link to my Armory data if you want to use me as a guinea pig to figure out what might cause that.

TankPoints shows your stats against a +3 level mob by default(you can change this in options), Blizzard shows your stats against a same level mob.

The amount of parry rating needed to get 1% parry has been reduced by 25%.
ie. parry rating is now(will be) worth 25% more.

Got it

Unlike other benchmarking points like AEP and others, TankPoints is a dynamic points system, that is calculates how many points each stat is worth according to your current gear setup, it does so to help you obtain the best balance between all "defensive stats".

For one person, TankPoints may say that Stamina is worth more points then Dodge Rating, but for another tank that has a too much Stamina it will show that Dodge Rating is worth more then Stamina, this balance is calculated mathamatically using well known game dynamics.

In other words, I didn't set the points for each stat, you already did that yourself
