diminishing returns on parry to?

[steadypal]

i knew it was drastic for dodge and yes yes it is, it sucks, almost knocks the moroes trinket use in half for me


i didnt think it affected parry tho and i tried the parry trinket off zul'jin and it lose .46% parry... hmmmmm


and it doesnt look like BR is affected


i was surprised cause my parry is low and it is also getting DR on it... hmmmm

so stack BR instead of dodge/parry eh?

Isn't DR on avoidance basically stealing Ilevel from tanking gear that has it? It seems like a bad mechanic to me. Also, I think that on use trinkets should be exempt, but oh well.

Yeah, I suppose better itemization in the first place would be a better choice, but hey, it's better than Sunwell Radiance.

What's your current dodge %? What happens when you use moroes on beta or PTR? Are you on PTR or BETA? WHere does it go to on real?

31 % dodge use moroes trinket get 8 dodge instead of 15.8


on ptr


i never read dr on parry tho

For you too here is the thread on DR. Also has a link to EJ on the formula.

[Embher]

Ok, let me attempt to summarize from this elitistjerks post:

7. The DR formula:

\frac{1}{x'} = \frac{1}{c}+\frac{k}{x}}

x' is the diminished stat before converting to IEEE754.
x is the stat before diminishing returns.
c is the cap of the stat, and changes with class.
k is is a value that changes with class.

k C_p 1/C_p C_d 1/C_d Lv80 Dodge/Agi Lv80 Agi/1%Dodge Base Dodge
Warrior 0.9560 47.003525 0.021275 88.129021 0.011347 0.013600 73.52941176 3.463600

Deathknight 0.9560 47.003525 0.021275 88.129021 0.011347 0.013600 73.52941176 0.758000

Druid 0.9720 0 0 116.890707 0.008555 0.024000 41.66666667 4.951000
.
..


D'=Total Dodge% after DR
D_r=Dodge from Defense and Dodge Rating before DR
D_b=Base dodge (This is what you have with 0 Agility, independent of level, can be looked up in my first post)
A=Total Agility
A_b=Base Agility (This is what you have with no gear on)
A_g=Total Agility - Base Agility

Let d be the Dodge/Agi (before DR) value we are going to calculate(this value is constant for a given level and class).

\frac{1}{x'} = \frac{1}{C_d}+\frac{k}{x}}

x'=D'-D_b-A_b*d or D'=Dodge% on character sheet=x'+D_b+A_b*d
x=A_g*d+D_r

Ok, using the equation and arranging it to find x' diminished value comes out to:
x'= 1
_________________

(1/c + k/x)


Ok, using these constants for paladins and assuming he means C_p is c for parry and C_d is c for dodge, functions of x to x' are

x'd= 1
__________________

(0.011347 + 0.9560/x)

x'p= 1
___________________

(0.021275 + 0.9560/x)


Moroes trinket theoretical on use value is derived as followed. He reported that the 300 dodge rating increased his dodge from 31% to 39% insstead of 31+15.8%=46%


According to his examples, x and x' are % values and they are % contributions from GEAR ONLY.


so Total Diminished Dodge from gear and base =31%
Dodge (base)=3.2+77 base agi/25+5%talent=~11
Dodge (base) % = ~11 %

Diminished Dodge from gear = 31%-11%=20%
Diminished Dodge % from gear =20%
which implies Undiminished dodge% from gear=x=25% when x'=20%
Undiminished dodge% from gear=25%
but
Dodge from gear and moroes 300 on use=25%+300/18.9=14%+15.87%=40.87%
Undiminished Dodge from gear and moroes 300 on use=40.87%

x'd= 1
__________________

(0.011347 + 0.9560/40.87% )
Diminished dodge from gear and on-use Moroes (without base)=x'd= 28.78%

Diminished Dodge % with moroes =26.3%+base dodge%=28.78.3%+11%=39.78%
Diminished Dodge % with moroes =39.78%
which is what he found on PTR

Simplifying the equations for finding the increased % when changing gear:


Undiminished Dodge % From Gear Only=
[(Defense rating with original gear)*defense modifier+(Dodge rating with original gear)/dodge modifier]+
[Increased Defense rating from the gear change*defense modifier+Increased Dodge rating from the gear change/dodge modifier]

You cannot take the character sheet %-base dodge % because it really does show effects of diminishing returns.

where dodge modifier converts to dodge rating to dodge%, e.g,. 18.9 at 70
where defense modifier converts to defendse rating to dodge%, e.g,. 0.04 at 70

Diminished Dodge% from gear only=
x'd= 1

Depends. It could just mean they can safely put gem slots on gear without having to worry about something down the road where people stack tons of dodge rating gems. I don't see it as stealing item level. I see it as a curved PPF (as it should be).
(production possibility frontier line... cost of one good to produce another... in this case one stat or another).

It also makes them add in non-tier gear that lets people 'shore up' an area of mitigation without worrying about overdoing it all together. Everyone wants the 80 dodge piece right now. In wotlk you'd want the 80 dodge piece till you got the right gear to use a better overall piece.

Also... DR isn't exactly all-or-nothing. It's just reduced efficiency. 100 dodge rating giving 5% dodge is better than, say, 200 block value. Now if it was 2.5% dodge, would it beat 200 block value? 1.25%? etc..

[steadypal]

again just thought dodge was affected, not parry

and BR seems to not be affected by DR

[majiben]

Miss is also affected by DR. BR seems to be the only one not affected.

[Worldie]

They left BR outside DR since you don't get unhittable by stacking BR, and you cannot gem/enchant for BR, and most of all, nontanking classes cannot benefit from BR

Havent seen this proven yet...if it is, no one has published what the miss cap is...

But BR is definitely not affected by diminishing returns

[Embher]

Here is the effectiveness of adding another 1% dodge from dodge rating or defense every 1%, e.g., adding 18.9 dodge rating to your gear.

I'll give you an example. Say your character sheet says 27.0% dodge. That is the diminished dodge%. (We have proven that dodge rating increases to gear actually show diminished changeson character sheet. We are convinced the character sheet dodge% is indeed the diminished total dodge%=basedodge%+diminished dodge% from gear)

Now, we know that 18.9 dodge rating produces 1% dodge undiminished.
If we added 18.9 at level 70 or 1% undiminished dodge from a gear piece, it would worth really only 0.7%. That is how you read this chart.

19 16.2 27.2 0.703

What is interesting is that if you have 100% undiminished dodge from gear, your total diminished dodge is 58.8% and the effect of another 1% undiminished dodge from gear is only 0.2%.
At 20% total undiminished dodge on character sheet, each 1% undiminished dodge% is worth 0.8;
at 30%......... 0.64;
at 40%......... 0.477;

The defense, parry and dodge mouseover tooltip all states "Before DR". Block doesnt.

Granted, and not disagreeing...just saying the only evidence we have that miss is affected by DR is a post from a blue and it wasnt specific.

There is no current way I am aware of to determine your chance to be hit via the WoW API. So determining that there actually is DR on Miss chance from defense is pretty much impossible at present.
