Tanking macro

[JohnnieRat]

Well... after the whole Wizards Council thing came up I tried browsing their forums to see what they had to say. Anyways, I found a sweet macro for tanks that will tell them exactly how much avoidance they have just copy and paste the following for 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+(GetCombatRatingBonus(CR_DEFENSE_SKILL) + 20)*0.04,1,0.5,0)

So apparently those scrubs do have a use.

it's a copy+paste from several posts on the WoW forums.

=)

The Druid one is a bit different:

/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(2.6-(GetCombatRatingBonus(CR_DEFENSE_SKILL)*.04+GetCombatRatingBonus(CR_CRIT_TAKEN_MELEE)),1,0.5,0)

WC Unoriginal post is incomplete...FAIL!

Yeah druids, pallies and warriors have different math, and even in the same class, some talents and items are part of the formula

Imo for  tankadins the best forum is  http://maintankadin.failsafedesign.com/ with math, guides, gear, etc

yeah I read those forums daily, really good source of information for prot paladins.  There's few there that post alot there that have tanked Illidan and such.

The macro I use to check on my pali is:

/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)*150/355 + 20)*0.04,1,0.5,0)
