Pre-raid Tanking: Theories, Goals and the Gear to Get There

(crosspost from Paladin forums)

Several hours of browsing Wowhead came up with this: a list of combined mitigation values for pretty much every mitigating tankadin-useful item in the game. Gear searched was plate(for applicable slots) with at least one of defense rating/dodge rating/block rating/parry rating. Gear with none of the above but with high agility weren't included. Then, the estimated avoidance from putting on that gear was calculated, taking into account all the ratings plus the dodge chance gained from agility. Values are approximate due to the fact that defense skill rises in steps according to defense rating; 1 or 2 additional rating may or may not increase the skill level by 1, depending on how much rating one has.

I decided to write this up after being uncrushable, but just barely, and wondering which pieces of gear I could upgrade that would afford me to drop an avoidance trinket for a stamina trinket. These values aren't a measure of the overall value of an item; simply how much it contributes towards the 102.4% uncrushability total. Hence, some rare items are listed above epics (see: Shield of the Wayward Footman, due to relatively massive amount of shield block rating). Doesn't mean those items are better overall, it just means they contribute more towards 102.4%.

All of this assumes you're past 490 defense and uncrittable already, so the net effect of any resilience on gear is presumed to be 0, and the contribution of a point of defense skill is 0.04 each of miss/dodge/block/parry, not miss/dodge/block/parry/anti-crit. Also, one of the interesting things I found out during this is that Necklace of the Juggernaut, from heroic badges, is actually a good upgrade from Strength of the Untamed (albeit by a small amount), due to the agility+def on it translating into slightly more avoidance than the dodge+def, and it's got more stamina.

That is one impressive list!

I think the only reason I clicked on any links, was to see the drop rate (if it drops), and to compare stam values.

I am nowhere near the number cruncher that many people here are but does the Vindicator's Armor Kit really provide that much of a benefit as compared to the other slot enhancements?
_________________

Vindicator's Armor Kit = 8 defense rating

1 defense skill
---------------------------
2.3660714 defense rating

= 3.381132 defense skill

3.381132 * (0.04 * 4) = 0.54098112 miss/dodge/parry/block

However, in-game you don't get an increase of 3.38113 defense skill. You get 3 or 4. Actual values will be:

3 * (0.04 * 4) = 0.48% miss/dodge/parry/block
4 * (0.04 * 4) = 0.64% miss/dodge/parry/block

With the former occurring slightly more often than the latter.

Cracking List btw...

Thanks a lot

That's a pretty amazing list, very well done.

I made a similar list a bit ago (actually, it's work in progress). Check my signature for it.

All the gear is on the 2nd page. The "Paladin CB" values is what you're looking for.

Nice list, though. Might skim through it, to see if I forgot about any items, though items like Stockade Pauldrons? :O

I remember running around with that and the ZG spell damage enchant on it, but that was on level 60. Line anyone would seriously use these on level 70...

..... Or you could download Eloff's Excel spreadsheet with all the same information. Although it is nice to have links to the actual items. Maybe I'll combine your list with mine and insert hyperlinks to wowhead into my spreadsheet!

Or maybe I won't! Who knows how much free time I'll be able to find...

(I'm totally open for anyone else to contribute. Adding hyperlinks would be a great help!)
