Block Cap macro, anybody care to test it?

/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Need 102.4 combined avoidance. Currently at:",0.8,0.8,1)
/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(GetDodgeChance()+GetBlockChance()+GetParryChance()+5+(GetCombatRating(CR_DEFENSE_SKILL)*0.20333)*0.04,1,0.5,0)

So this is my amended uncrushable macro with the aim to check how close I am to the block cap. I removed the + 20 Defense from Anticipation. Then converted the old 150/355 (1/2.365 = 0.42283) skill:rating ratio at level 70 to the 1/4.918 (0.20333) ratio at 80.

Anyone doing raids want to give this a try and see if it matches their results?

I'll compare numbers with the numbers I get from tankadin

Score! Thanks um... Dork.

DR on miss are not picked up macros or addons yet FYI, you'll need to have 1.5-2% more than the macro displays to be at the true cap.

I've been using a macro for this for a long time now, and haven't changed it since 3.0, but I noticed that it's slightly different to the one in this thread, so now I'm not sure if it is right or not. The one I have is:

Yeah, I was wondering about those 100s... I'd not looked closely at it before, just cut-and-pasted from somewhere (I think a thread on this site, but not sure, might have been wowwiki).
So, the differences just make it work whatever your base defense is at? Good to know.

Makes sense. I'll be running Naxx soon so that'll give me a chance to gear up and see just how accurate the modified macro is (if it is 1-2% or wildly 4-5% for example). Thanks everyone.

Janduin, I modified the macro like you suggested:

/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Need 102.4 combined avoidance. Currently at:",0.8,0.8,1)
/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(GetDodgeChance()+GetBlockChance()+GetParryChance()+5+(GetCombatRatingBonus(CR_DEFENSE_SKILL)*0.04,1,0.5,0)

It seems to not give an output for %. Could you take a look and see what's missing?

I've been reading more and more of these macros threads looking for one that includes miss% and works with DR. I've come to understand that DR doesn't get counted yet due to macro/addon limitations, and I understand that. What I'm trying to figure out is, is the base miss% included in these macros in the section dealing with defense? And it would also be impacted by DR? (I understand our defense values really suffer DR in miss% just from getting to 54))

Thanks!

Macros don't handle non linear equations well. Let me give you some points of reference.

At 810 defense rating you will have 6.59% miss from defense before DR and 4.59% post DR. A 2% lose.

At 690 defense rating you will have 5.61% miss from defense before DR and 4.11% post DR. A 1.5% lose.

Using those numbers you could create a macro that approximates the DR with a linear for people with defense rating between 690 and 810.
