TankPoints 2.0 - A benchmark for survivalbilitygear
Localized in: English, French, German
** About TankPoints **
TankPoints was created to help myself compare different pieces of tanking gear, because it was difficult to decided at a glance like whether +12 defense is better then +1 dodge.
TankPoints can be seen as how much raw damage you can take before damage reduction, it considers your max health, armor, defense, dodge, parry, block, block value, resilience, crushing blow chance, miss, crit reduction, talants, buffs, stance/forms, and more.
Keep in mind though, that higher TankPoints does not make a better tank, it is only a benchmark for survivalbility gear but does not calculate threat.
It can not decide for you what you should wear for what boss, but it can provide you with a wealth of information what will hopfully be useful for choosing gear.
** About TankPoints 2.0 **
TankPoints 2.0 is a complete rewrite of my original TankPoints for the 2.0 WoW using the Ace2 framework.
It has a much improved TankPoints algorithm, intergrates nicely into the character stats dropdown menu, and shows a lot more information then the original TankPoints.
2.0 introduced a new combat ratings system which made it even harder to compare gear, in order to code combat rating support for TankPoints, the exact rating to percentage formula is required which Blizzard didn't give us.
Luckly, I have suceessfully reverse engineered the rating formula for all levels and coded an addon called "Rating Buster" that converts ratings on item tooltips into percentages, you can try it out here.
** How to use **
Gravity has writen an awesome 7 page guide to using TankPoints on his blog: http://pwnwear.com/tankpoints-user-guide/
** The value of Block **
The value is Shield Block Value and Block Rating is highly dependent on what you are tanking.
Its very good for mobs that don't hit very hard like in heroics, but is worth much less on hard hitting bosses in 25 man raids.
At level 80, TankPoints' default mob damage is tuned to 25 man raids, with a value of 24365 damage before mitigation.
You can change this value to match what you plan on tanking by using the "/tp mob damage" command in game.
A mob damage of 10505 for example is a good value for level 80 heroics.
TankPoints also calculates the value of Shield Block for Warriors, and Holy Shield for Paladins.
You can use the "/tp player sbfreq" command to set a shield block frequency that matches your rotation (in how many seconds AFTER cooldown finishes).
For most tankadins rotations, you will have a 100% Holy Shield uptime, using "/tp player sbfreq 1" will tell TankPoints that you will use Holy Shield 1 second after cooldown finishes (every 9 secs).
** TankPoints 2.0 Features **
In addition to the original formula, the Imporved TankPoints 2.0 formula now has:
levelModifier = attackerLevel if ( levelModifier > 59 ) then levelModifier = levelModifier + (4.5 * (levelModifier - 59)) end armorReductionTemp = armor / ((85 * levelModifier) + 400) armorReduction = armorReductionTemp / (armorReductionTemp + 1) if armorReduction > 0.75 then armorReduction = 0.75 end if armorReduction < 0 then armorReduction = 0 end
For every swing of the mob (see mobAtkSpeed) until you are out of health if time to press the shield block button given timeBetweenPresses refresh charges on shield block if mobHitChance + mobCrushChance + mobCritChance == 0 or (charges left and mobHitChance + mobCrushChance + mobCritChance <= 75%) use a charge on shield block min(healthLeft, take raw damage from the monster per mobDamage - blockValue) else min(healthLeft, take raw damage from the monster per mobDamage) end end

Are those tankpoints accurate for a druid tanking gear, knowing armor has a much greater value than for warriors ?

Thanks for Bear update, Whitetooth. I could help localizing the tooltip to German, would just need to know where to find the variables/english strings.

Sadly, Tankpoints aren't showing in my item tooltips. With how many addons I run, it's most likely another one blocking it... or just something I completely missed. Not too worried about it, I'm fine with using the calculator.
I'm running a mix between Cosmos, Auctioneer, and a standalone sell price addon that I completely forget the name of, if that helps any. I also use OneBag, though due to its implementation I'm pretty sure it's not the culprit. English localization. Absolutely love the mod, Whitetooth. It feeds my information addiction like none other. ^_^ |

Great mod whitetooth. I just downloaded it a few hours ago and love how easy it is to see how different stats compare. One thing I noticed is that Blessing of Kings makes your point total go up. I assume that this is due to the gain in both stam and agi as it translates into dodge and HP. However it would be cool for comparative purposes if you were able to institute a formula to give Blessing of Sanctuary a value too. While the damage dealt when blocking wouldn't have any effect on the point total I would think the flat x amount of damage reduction would be worth quite a bit. Again I love the mod the way it is and use kings versus sanctuary depending on the situations but I was just thinking if you were looing for ways to improve the mod this might be something you could look into.
