Data sample for boss dodge/parry/block rates

Saw this (2-3 month old) post over on elitist jerks which I thought was interesting:

Basically, it's over 35000 swings worth of data from Kara to get boss dodge/parry/block rates. Nothing to surprising here, but it's nice to have some good numbers in one place: it looks like 6% dodge, 12-13% parry, and just under 5% block is typical for a raid boss.

good to know.

Good to see in one spot, however I'd expect those figures to be a little low, because the bosses sampled (in particular Maiden and Prince) spend a reasonable amount of their time with their back turned or casting things.

Still good to see again that Parry happens a lot more often than Dodge

I yet have to understand how exactly, let's say, Supremus dodges one of my attack.

The data is misleading because you don't know how much hit rating/expertise the warrior has.

Boss's parry % could be that high because he has low hit and expertise

Also, over the course of the data collection could the warriors gear have changed to allow more avoidance or maybe he changed from being an avoidance tank to a stam tank, etc.

Expertise or no expertise parry seems to be drastically higher than other forms of avoidance.

most of the data was collected pre expertise, so just assume that is baseline.

Maranus, you need to work on your tone and use of the caps lock key. You've already been warned once.

edit -- I also saw some of your other "contributions" to general. It needs to stop. Now.
