i searched for this and had no luck, is there an updated version of the old Mitigation macro with the new calcs impemented?

[tlhovis]

no one has this?

If by "mitigation macro" you mean the one that calculates your total avoidance, the ones that exist will work just fine.

The only reason you'd care about the diminishing returns calculation is for predicting what the difference helm X will have against helm Y in the context of your overall gear (in which case, just get RatingBuster and be done with it). The avoidance macro calls functions that as of 3.0 already return the diminished values of your avoidances. Add em up and it's all good.

Yes thats what i am talking about, i just remember reading in the past that the macro assumed you had the +Def talent in Prot tree and if so was afraid that would make a diff now.

Hm yeah, several of them were written with anticipation hardcoded. This one (from here: http://www.tankspot.com/forums/f63/3...crushable.html)

/run local a,b=UnitDefense("player") a=(a+b-UnitLevel("player")*5)/25 ChatFrame1:AddMessage(format("Need 102.4%% combined (miss+dodge+parry+block). Currently at %.2f%%", 5+a+GetDodgeChance()+GetBlockChance()+ GetParryChance()))

Doesn't assume anything about anticipation or your level and should work all the way to 80.

We can rewrite the text a bit since crushable is pretty much a moot point:

/run local a,b=UnitDefense("player") a=(a+b-UnitLevel("player")*5)/25 ChatFrame1:AddMessage(format("Total avoidance is %.2f%%", 5+a+GetDodgeChance()+GetBlockChance()+ GetParryChance()))

i pasted that one in but its doing nothing when i clcik it

[Satrina]

Try again, the forum for some dumb reason was putting a space in GetParryChance (or, just remove the space so GetParryChan ce is GetParryChance)

[tlhovis]

i didnt even catch that, works great now ty

What does the 5+ account for?

Crushing blows aren't much of an issue anymore, but the math is explained there.

To avoid others reading an outdated post:

Are you referring to this?

- You have a basic 5% chance to be missed by an opponent of the same level.
