Test to see if your defense is good as a tank.

[Ginchy]

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

this will post a line in your chat window with a number in it. If its positive, you need more defense or resil, if its negative, you can afford to drop some defense or resil.


Good luck guys

I am a tank myself and I think most of tanks out there have read all (or one) of those how-to-tank article and stumbled across this kind of macro.
Is the above macro generic? can all kind of tank classes use it for testing?

And since i am a pally tank, I have been using this to see whether I am crush-able or not:

/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);

Note: u can cast spells before pressing the macro to see different effect (e.g: Holy Shield)

But, thanks for sharing!

Yes, that is a generic macro. Every tank class can use it

When posting something like this you should give link to the original source, at least where I found it was on wowwiki on the defence page.
