does the chart go out for progression fight ... fight length. ie 6-9 minutes.. just checking I cant see it for a couple more hours.

EDIT: 6 OCT 07. I can't stop reading this post. I check it 2 times a day and it is awesome.

Wait, a dwarf gets 19 more stamina, 19 agility, and 25 strength than a human for... being a dwarf?
Man... I want that racial.

No, its more like an average over an extended time period. In theory this could mean longer cooldowns, but I don't feel they'll be punched as they rise, unlike the 3 shorter ones.

It's basically effective health, as Psiven said, but given a time portion so I could track the effect of haste buffs and debuffs (expertise for example). It's not functioning here for simplicity, but I use it elsewhere.

I've updated the OP with the current spreadsheet and graphs, will do closer paladin/warriors analysis asap.

Warriors have higher baseline stam/str/agi.

Yeah I completely read that as dwarf pld vs human pld. My bad.
(still... wtb).

Awesome, looking good ziggy. The blocking is still a little off though. It looks like you're factoring in the blocking from strength twice. Also the shield block stuff still doesn't seem to have the doubled value, unless I'm missing it.

Finally, if you're counting 1 min cds, you should probably include Barkskin .

Spirit is ossom™!

Great job so far ziggy... i've PMed a guy i know on another forum who has a lvl 80 DK, waiting to see if he replies.

To account for the odd nature of shield blocks doubling effect, the sb blocking formulas calculate bv before the 1.3, rather than add a new line of stats. It does look a bit clumsy to be fair. Thats also where the doubling is, it adds full BV to unaltered BV.

Good point, I'll look into it.

Ok, I think this'll be my last nitpick/question. What's the deal with the 1.1 in the warrior block value calcs?

That'd do it.

So, if I'm interpreting what I'm seeing correctly, most of our mitigation difference is getting swallowed up by diminishing returns on avoidance(EDIT:sometimes i think dumb) and our superiority agility->dodge ratio?

Block value has diminishing returns? O_o
