How to calculate block and Critically Block?

we know that for warrior:
Mastery = +12% Block/Critically Block
1 Mastery = +1.5% Block/Critically Block
Sentinal = +15% Block

but，how calculate total block among them?

Block = 12+15+Mastery*1.5 or
(15+Mastery*1.5)*1.12 or etc??


armory for kungen
url = http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/characte.../kungen/simple

his data : mastery=17.92, shield + 40block rating(=0.44% block)

1. 17.92*1.5%+0.44%+12+15 = 54.32%
2. (17.92*1.5%+0.44%+15)*1.12 = 47.39%
3. (17.92*1.5%+0.44%+12)*1.15 = 45.21%

Oh..no...all not ...His block = 47.33% T-T

plz,who can help me~ how to calculate the Block = =~

[klausi]

20% basic chance to block
8 basic mastery -> +12% chance to block

You can either use

17.92*1.5+0.44+20=47.32
or
(17.92-8)*1.5+0.44+20+12=47.32

[Bigbad]

You start of with a standard 8 mastery so for Kungen it would be
5% standard block
15% block from sentinel
12% base block from mastery
9,92*1,5=14,88% from additional mastery
0,44% from shield enchant
total: 47,32%

OK,thx~~^-^

[kakalu2000]

add a question *^-^*

Does Dodge/Parry has basic chance ,then also 5% ??

[Airowird]

Parry is 5% base
Dodge is 3,758% iirc

[Bigbad]

What wartotem said just have to add base agi/430 to dodge resulting in about 4,03% dodge not effected by diminishing returns. Don't quote me on the numbers though

[Airowird]

Actually, the base Agi doesn't give Dodge (atleast not on DR), so the 3,758% was included.

But essentially, you can check ingame by going totally naked and read the tooltip :P

As it turns out this is an acceptable solution to most of life's problems, though perhaps under utilized.

That's because this is also the cause of a lot of problems. Ever tried to tank your boss naked?

Keep in mind that block is fundamentally bound by chance to be hit. While you aren't likely to be reaching that threshold this early in the expansion, it is part of the formula.

Block can not exceed...
100% - Missed - Dodged - Parried
This is simply because you can't block attacks that don't hit you.

[kakalu2000]

Actually, in this days, i analyse which is better in Dodge/Parry/Mastery when we Reforged in the current Armory data

So,i want to know these attributes's basic value and they how to calculate , which facilitate analyse the deminishined proceeds in +1%

Thx for all replys ^-^ Merry Christmas

Basic Parry =5% it may be wrong

still this armory
armory for kungen
url = http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/characte.../kungen/simple

his parry = 14.74%

706str = 1%parry before deminishing ,so,his 3410 str = 4.824 parry (before deminishing)
1932 parry rating = 10.93 parry before deminishing

and 1/y=1/c+k/c y=deminished, x =before deminishing K=0.956，C=65.63

now
if basic parry = 5%, so that x=5+4.824+10.93 = 20.7565, y=16.3147 ≠ 14.74

if basic parry =0%,and parry from str doesn't deminish, y = 14.56% it approximate 14.74

or parry from str deminish,and doing reverse derivation, y=14.74, so x =18.17, 18,17-10.93-4.824 = 2.4163 = basic parry??

how to calculate the parry? Help~

how to calculate the parry? Help~

Strength provides parry rating so you shouldn't calculate parry from strength separately. Just calculate for parry rating:

x = 10.93% parry before DR.

1/x' = 0.0152366 + 0.956/x

x' = 9.74% parry after DR, plus 5% base = 14.74%

Oh, i see
Thanks for your help~

Is there a macro that exists to show a in game calculation of miss/dodge/parry/block and critical block?

Is there a macro that exists to show a in game calculation of miss/dodge/parry/block and critical block?

Not possible in a macro because it would exceed the 256 character limit, you would have to use multiple macros or an addon script.

Chance to be missed is a function of relative level and race. Dodge is function depending on chance to be missed, bonus agility (which also requires you to store a data table of base agility values), dodge rating, talents, ability usage and relative level. Parry is a function of all of that and bonus strength (which also requires you to store a data table of base strength values), parry rating, talents, ability usage and relative level. Block is a function of all of that, block rating, mastery rating, talents, ability usage and relative level. Critical block is a function of everything prior and mastery.

When dealing with avoidance, calculating one piece is actually dependent and bound by the value of the other parts because their is an order to the combat table and block is lower on the table so gets pushed off first.

[Trigsten]

Maybe I didnt ask the question correctly, or just dont understand your answer.

But there was a macro I used in BC tanking with my pally to show dodge+parry+block. I actually saw it on one of the older posts around here awhile ago but dont have the time to dig it up atm. Im after a updated version which also includes critical block.

From memory it had "get dodge" type stuff in it.

[Quinafoi]

There are differences between values on the character sheet and actual values in practice.

In short to answer your question, there is no direct API call which will tell you your critical block chance. There is a direct API call that will tell you your block chance, relative to a same level mob (character sheet data). Critical Block however is a calculated value, you actually have to run the numbers to determine it. You could approximate it by simply pulling your mastery value and multiplying by 0.015, however that approximation doesn't take into considerations limiting factors and threshold values. For example, the block cap for a Night Elf Warrior in identical gear is 2% lower than any other warrior because of the 2% increased chance to be missed and miss is evaluated first of all avoidances (then dodge, then parry, then block).

[Quinafoi]

Here is a dumbed down approximation of Critical Block at level 85.

/run bp=GetBlockChance() m=GetMastery() cbp=12+(m*1.5) DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(bp.."% Block, "..cbp.."% Critical Block ("..(cbp*(bp/100)).."%)")

I am also not completely sure but I believe Critical Block is a double roll i.e. 30% critical block and 50% block means 15% of incoming attacks are critically blocked, correct?

Could also add aura checking for Hold the Line and add 10% to Critical Block chance, but this is already just an approximation.
