10 New Formula Calculators for Tanks

Well I’ll be honest guys when it comes to the mathematics of this game, I like to be lazy. (Although I’m willing to invest a lot of time to allow myself to be lazy though lol)

So what did I do?

I created 10 New Formula Calculators on the Formula page. (now known as the Formula Calculators page) This page now includes:

  • An Expertise Calculator
  • A Defense Calculator
  • A Resilience Calculator
  • A Dodge Calculator
  • An Agility Calculator
  • A Parry Calculator
  • A Block Calculator
  • A Hit Calculator
  • A Crit Calculator
  • A Haste Calculator

So now you can be lazy like me too.

Want to spread the Lazy Word?

    now this is really cool!

    I like the resilience calculation, it helps to have it shown as uncrittable instead of me flipping thru websites for the formula!

    I am playing with a fury build cant figure out where I should be at with my +hit to not miss so much on a skull level boss. +90 hit missed way too many times.

    Thanks again, you rock,
    Fubs

    I can only agree with the above! Great to have this collected in one place!

    What would be even more cool is to be able to compare different stats against each other. With this I mean for instance 30 agi means 1% dodge which means 18,9 dodge rating and 20 crit rating but how much defence rating in terms of avoidance? Stuff like that come up every now and then.

    Also, doesn’t agility give you armor as well?

    Last but not least, is it remotely possible to have a “aggro calculator”? That is compare hit vs expertise vs block value (shield slam and normal weapon, say king’s defender as the base weapon).

    Keep up the work!

    You need 140 hit rating on L73 mobs. 9% Chance to miss.

    If life was only that easy :-)

    The 9% chance to miss a lvl 73 mob is not only reduced by hit but also by expertise. Hence it would be very good to be able to use multiple stats together to see where you are at.

    Ya I figured the Resilience calculator would be a big hit Fubar.

    Kav, I thought it was 142?

    Ya Erik this is definitely just the beginning. Once I organize just how I want to do it, these calculators will expand. That being said, I’ve got to weigh the progression of them against writing, playing, and real life.

    Just not enough time in the day! lol

    Ya, 142. That’s what I get for doing the math in my head at 8 am.

    Expertise doesn’t effect miss. It only effects dodge and parry. So you’d need 142 hit rating and 88 expertise rating to drop dodge & miss off the table, although you’d still have some parry left over. Makes for a nice high, constant TPS set for trash.
