Tanking Calculator (Easily find out how good your spec/gear is)

Tanking Calculator

I linked this in another thread, but I just want to make sure those of you that have been looking for something like this have it handy.

There are some general instructions on there. Make sure that you're entering each mitigation talent/buff in their own line.

Don't care how you use it, etc. Just download it and let me know if there's anything I should add. Thinking about adding trinkets/greaters with their average mitigation output. Good luck.

Redid format to make it easier on the eyes.

added avoidance

Added advanced combat calculations at the bottom. This will allow you to figure out what the mobs unmitigated damage is as well as calculating for you what your chance of survival at low health is.

EDIT: Also fixed a cell formatting error that wasn't using percentages - although it was displaying them. Sorry! You'll probably need to re-download if you've downloaded already.

Added a magic damage "point of no return" as well. All result boxes will change color based on a mitigation threshold.

Added Effective Damage Reduction (the real damage taken adjustment based on your own personal mitigation). Fixed an error that did not consider chance to resist a spell based on resistances for reaver specs.

fixed (probably unnoticed) math errors.

Isn't it obvious Onzo? No one cares. :P

aaaaaad benched.

Added adjusted stat values which will recalculate your average physical mitigation and avoidance based on the percentage of attacks that are unavoidable (cannot be dodged/blocked/parried).

This is the type of deep analysis that will show warrior tanks that 51vk is almost always the best tank spec to use.

Anyway, this is the last update unless someone finds a glaring mistake in the calculator. Good luck!

Thanks! I'll give it a go when I get home.

I like that someone has come up with a tool we might be able to use.

Great work man, hope you keep refining it. It woudl be great if it could be turned into a ingame addon. Ypou might like to track down a addon writer to see if its viable?

The one thing I noticed with Rift community is the one upman ship people post in forums, and the assumption that you aint as good as them, just cause you are questioning a mechanic after a pacth.

There are a few people who do actually try and contribute to the community in a productive way. I think thats great.

For the record no I'm not one of them.
