In case you haven’t checked, the new TankPoints is out a few days ago. It works correctly with 3.2 mechanics, but you have to edit the TOC file (to 30200) since he forgot to do that. It’s safe to edit the TOC file, and will make it load without having to enable ‘out of date addons’ in-game. TankPoints is correctly calculating avoidance, but I do not think it fixed the Frigid Dreadplate bug I found (so DKs should add August 25th, 2009 | Leave a comment |
 From: Addons |  Tags: 3.2, addon, avoidance, tank, tankpoints, tanktotals Aug 18: TankPoints r108 released (it includes the new 3.2 RatingBuster maths so it will calculate avoidance correctly), but not pushed with correct TOC yet. Just edit the TOC yourself, this is safe. I tested it, works with 3.2. Update Aug 17: Whitetooth’s released an updated RatingBuster which means TankPoints is getting closer. They share a statistics library. Update Aug 10: I got a PM from Whitetooth, he is working on the new version. Says it’ll be ready ’soon’. Original post: I’ve emailed Whitetooth twice now, author of Tankpoints. We’re corresponded in the past because I wrote the user guide. He hasn’t replied yet, and nor have the tickets on wowace been accepted (I found a bug that Frigid Dreadplate is not being added in the to-miss calculation). In 3.2, the avoidance mechanics change and so he has to update Tankpoints or we can’t use it anymore. I haven’t seen a beta version to test on the PTR. In contrast, TankTotals has been updated a few times recently and looks like the author is ready for 3.2. So what are the differences? The permanent page for the Official TankPoints user guide is over here. TankPoints is an addon that can help you make decisions about which gem you should use, how pathetic parry is from strength, which enchant is better for you, what damage reduction you get in Frost resist gear and more. The guide helps you use TankPoints for these things. I’ve had so many questions at dk.info that could have been prevented by the tank understanding what TankPoints can |
