Crushing Blows, the Attack Table, and How it All Adds Up

For reference here is a post on the values of the stats for uncrittable / uncrushable

Although I'm a bit late, I wanted to add my thanks for this post. Tanking is simple - get hit so others don't - but Tanking correctly (and thus successfully) takes work. Having the attack table explained in a "for dummies" way is perfect for me.

Thanks again,

Defense lists reducing crits and increasing miss. What it does is pretty much just that

table has 100 points, 2 are miss and 5 are crit, for example
then your defense says "adds 5% miss and reduces crit by 5%".
There the table gains 5 miss and loses 5 crit., becoming 7 miss, 0 crit.
Adding another 5% miss and reducing crit by 5% means it gains 5 miss and loses 5 crit. Since there's no crit left, nothing happens on the crit side. Table becomes 12 miss, 0 crit.

Right, your chance to be missed is 5% base + extra miss from defense.

Definetly the best explenation on how it all works, it helped to clear out some confusions for me, tnx for putting it here for us.

WowWiki has a good page on this as well, I found it when I was trying to understand the magic "350" number in the OP. The WowWiki page also explains how resilience works against crits from mobs.

ok thanks to lore i think i have it so if my reg. tanking set is

10miss
20dodge
18parry
18block
HS

ill in theory take less dmg and generate normal threat but if i wore a block set..
10miss
18 dodge
18 parry
22 block (or more)
HS

i would generate a more threat, but with block value wouldnt i still take less dmg?

Very nice breakdown. Really helped me understand what it means to be uncrushable

Okay, a question about all this.

I've been reading about it, discussing about it, looking for more information, but I still can't find one important tidbit of information.
Why bother with crit immunity at all?

Here's why I ask the question.

Let's say I want to be uncrushable. So I stack 25.6% dodge, 25.6% parry, 25.6% block rate, equip that nifty libram and keep my holy shield up.
(Which is exactly what people tell me to do, basically.)

The attack table would then look like this.
