LAKE TAHOE, CALIFORNIA — We've taken a diverse crew of Wired staffers up here into the mountains to test a bunch of winter gear. Some of us are die-hard shredders, and a few of us haven't slid down a slope since the Clinton administration.
This being the first full day of the trip, everyone was a little rusty. But after couple of early-morning muscle cramps, the team really came together by the end of the day. Well, sort of.
You should always start the season gingerly, testing the legs with a gentle run or two. Instead, some of the more excitable advanced riders (in this case, Robbie) talked the entire crew into riding Squaw's Emigrant chair lift. Photographer Ariel Zambelich and videographer Mike Ruocco hadn't been on the slopes for years (10 and 14, respectively). They clearly needed a green run to get the legs working properly.
Robbie served up a blue run.
It didn't help that the weather has been less than ideal. Over the past few days, Tahoe has seen warm days, cold nights, and plenty of rain and fog, all of which has created some icy conditions. The runs at the top of the mountain were groomed, but ice is still ice. It's a pain to ride on, and an even bigger pain when you fall. At least the fog burned away mid-morning and left us in full sun for the whole afternoon.
Ariel had some trouble getting her muscles to move in ways they hadn't felt in a decade, but by the end of the afternoon, she was riding about half as well as she did back in the day, by her own estimation. Mike Ruocco slowly picked his way down the first few runs and improved greatly after that. He skied when he was a kid and couldn't recollect how well he rode then, so we'll just assume he's now better than he's ever been.
Reviews editor Michael Calore, on the other hand, took the smarter route. He signed up for a full-day snowboarding lesson. By the end of the afternoon, he was all smiles — probably because he hadn't been dragged up a lift he had no business being on. Michael liked his lesson so much, he made a video of his experience.
Fortunately, the snow gods punished Gadget Lab writer Robbie for putting his team members in danger. He reached into his pocket while on a chair lift in order to grab a granola bar, and when he pulled his hand out, his three-day lift ticket floated away. Just like that, he was having a bad time. The relatively short lift ride to the top of the mountain became excruciatingly long as the wind began to pick up, and Robbie wondered if he could get a new ticket or if he'd have to purchase another three-day lift pass. He returned to the spot where the lift ticket was lost, and stared at the ground. It's tough going when you're trying to locate a tiny white card in a field of snow.
He did end up finding his ticket, and he even got a fun tree run out of it. So everything worked out, and all it took was a slight anxiety attack and some really intense staring. "It's a Wired Winter Miracle," Robbie said.
Nobody else lost anything from their pockets. Well, with reviews contributor Billy Brown, it was difficult to figure where he kept anything because he changed clothes at least three times. Billy called in heaps of gear, so much of it that his corner of the condo looks like a board shop. He's trying to test so much stuff over these three days that he has to change not only boards, but also jackets, helmets, goggles and mid-layers multiple times per day. That's great for a fashion show, but not so much when the rest of your crew uses visual cues to find each other on the mountain. Karissa was easy to spot in her bright neon yellow pants. Same with Jim and his electric orange Mammut jacket. Ariel's defining garment was a weird orange backpack that resembled a tiny keg.
Billy, on the other hand, was the man of a thousand outfits and we never had any idea where he was until he came skidding to a stop next to us. Who knows what he's wearing tomorrow. Hopefully it'll be another series of day-glo outfits.
We've also been using GroupMe to communicate with each other while we're exploring different parts of the resort. The group texting service is a great way to chat with a dozen people all at once, and we've been using it primarily to arrange meeting spots on the mountain. It would probably be twice as useful if the cell service was more plentiful up here, and if people actually stayed in one spot for more than three minutes.
The allure of riding the white stuff was too much for some of the crew, most notably photo editor Jim Merithew, who never keeps stationary for long. The typical GroupMe thread involved somebody asking where everyone was. Jim would reply and say he was at the top of a lift. If it took longer than five minutes to get to the top of said lift, Jim would no longer be there.
"I don't get to the mountain very often, and all this standing around staring at my phone is driving me nuts," he complained later.
Eventually we'd just run into each other out of happenstance. And Jim has a point — that's preferable to checking our smartphones every 30 seconds. That all worked out. Well, except for at the end of the day when we accidentally left Karissa on the mountain and headed back to our rooms.
Half an hour later, she chimed in on GroupMe: "Where everyone at? …It's cool, I can hang. I don't need you guys."

Excellent product with probiotics

About Me New Pet Owner

Comments about Green Dog Naturals Whole Dog Daily Supplement:
This is a review of the chewable bone-shaped tablets. My dog has had chronic problems with her food (pancreatitis as a puppy, now intermittent diarreah). She is on a homemade diet and I've worried that she doesn't get all her vitamins. I was so pleased to find this product - with the added benefit that it has probiotics. Probiotics is important to me, as she has been on antibiotics for quite awhile. (Antibiotics kill the beneficial tummy bugs, so I was looking for a product to help replace them.) My dog is doing better and better everyday, and I am more confident that she is getting the nutrition she needs. PLUS, she LIKES them!! For my finicky food disliking dog, this is FABULOUS!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

About Me Long-time Pet Owner
My 11 year old dog has always had a sensitive stomach. Since I started using "Green Dog Naturals Whole Dog Daily" several years ago, he is keeping his food down, his coat is shiny, and he is fully of energy! I've tried lots of other products, but after many years of searching, I won't give him anything else!!

From Sybil to less-publicized cases, THE UNEXPLAINED examines the causes and conflicts of multiple personalities.
They are victims of their own psyches, people forced to live with a disability that is frightening, confounding and potentially dangerous.
Sybil made millions of Americans aware of Multiple Personality Disorder, but it remains one of the most misunderstood mental problems. For some people, abuse or trauma triggers it, but in many other cases there is no apparent cause behind the onset of the affliction. THE UNEXPLAINED enters the minds of several people who have battled Multiple Personality Disorder for an intimate, personal look at what life is like for those whose bodies can be taken over by the strangers in their own minds. Physicians and psychiatrists explore possible causes and cures, while people close to those who have the disease offer their insight on what happened to their loved ones. And we?ll take a long look at the case of Sybil herself.
It's a compelling investigation into a disturbing illness that defies science and medicine.

WHAT IS IT? This special-edition Rick Johnson DVD is culled from "The Motocross Files."
WHAT'S IT COST? $29.95 (plus S&H).
CONTACT? www.motocrossfiles.com or (714) 626-0885.
Filmmaker Todd Huffman has his finger on the pulse of this nostalgia movement with his "The Motocross Files" TV show. But the shame of producing a 30-minute show for network television is that the actual content must be reduced to 22 minutes. Todd does hundreds of hours of interviews over a nine-month period and then has to cut it down to 22 minutes. It is no secret that a lot of fabulous moments in motocross history are left lying on the cutting room floor.
"The Motocross Files: Rick Johnson" DVD rectifies that problem. Todd Huffman took all of the interviews, race footage and stories and put them in a special three-hour Rick Johnson DVD. This DVD includes the original 22-1/2-minute television show, 97-minutes of scenes that were edited out of the TV show, and RJ's raw
WHAT STANDS OUT? Here's a list of things that stand out with "The Motocross Files: Rick Johnson."
(1) History. Rick Johnson is a great interview. He speaks clearly, has full command of the past and isn't above self-deprecating humor. Thanks to wonderful
family photos, archival 8mm footage and interviews with all of the main players, "The Motocross Files: Rick Johnson" covers every aspect of Johnson's career. With the help of interviews with Roger DeCoster, David Bailey, Keith McCarty, Johnny O'Mara, Ron Lechien, Cliff Lett, Dave Arnold, Jeremy McGrath, Jeff Ward, Larry Huffman and Broc Glover, the history of Johnson's career comes into clear focus. Over 20 different racers, mechanics and team managers get to contribute their opinions.
(2) Deleted scenes. Although the original TV show was good, the deleted scenes are much better. Ricky Johnson goes into detail about his feud with Jeff Ward, the 1986 Anaheim Supercross, his childhood, the MXDN, and his painful 1982 250 National Championship loss to Donnie Hansen. Great stuff.
(3) Highlights. Did you know that Scott Burnworth was responsible for the "Greatest Supercross race of all-time?" RJ explains why. How did Danny Storbeck break Ricky's wrist? RJ explains it in detail. Why did Bob Hannah give Ricky the one-finger salute? RJ tells the story with a laugh. Do you want to hear Ricky's speech at the famous Rodil Cup sandbagger race? It's in here. Why did Ricky lose the 1982 AMA 250 National Championship? He spills the beans.
(4) Language. All bad language (and there is a little) is bleeped so that more kids can watch the bleepin' video.
WHAT'S THE SQUAWK? The saddest thing about watching the three-hour Rick Johnson DVD is the knowledge that the TV show could be so much better if only they gave "The Motocross Files" more air time.
ÿ"The MX Files: Rick Johnson" is an oral history of motocross in the 1980s. This is as close to the real events as anyone can ever get.ÿ

The Spirit of the Hive
That's the title of a newly published book written by Robert E. Page Jr., one of the world's foremost honey bee geneticists.
In his 224-page book, published by Harvard University Press, Page sheds light on how 40,000 bees, "working in the dark, seemingly by instinct alone, could organize themselves to contstruct something as perfect a a honey comb."
Page, former professor and chair of the UC Davis Department of Entomology, marvels at how bees can accomplish these incredible tasks. In synthesizing the findings of decades of experiments, he presents "a comprehensive picture of the genetic and physiological mechanisms underlying the division of labor in honey bee colonies and explains how bees' complex social behavior has evolved over millions of years," according to the Harvard University flier.
Page, now vice provost and dean of the Arizona State University's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and Foundation Professor of Life Sciences, still keeps his specialized stock of honey bees at the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility at UC Davis. Bee breeder-geneticist Michael "Kim" Fondrk, who worked with Page at Ohio State University, UC Davis and ASU, manages the stock.
In his book, Page talks about the coordinated activity of the bees and how worker bees respond to stimuli in their environment. The actions they take in turn alter the environment, Page says, and "so change the stimuli for their nestmates. For example, a bee detecting ample stores of pollen in the hive is inhibited from foraging for more, whereas detecting the presence of hungry young larvae will stimulate pollen gathering."
Division of labor, Page says, is an inevitable product of group living because "individual bees vary genetically and physiologically in their sensitivities to stimuli and have different probabilities of encountering and responding to them."
Page, who received his doctorate in entomology at UC Davis in 1980, served as an assistant professor at Ohio State University before joining the UC Davis Department of Entomology in 1989. He chaired the department for five years, from 1999 to 2004.
In 2004--the year Page retired from UC Davis--ASU recruited him as the founding director and dean of the School of Life Sciences. At the time, his duties included organizing three departments—biology, microbiology and botany, totaling more than 600 faculty, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and staff--into one unified school.
As its founding director, Page established the school as a platform for discovery in the biomedical, genomic and evolutionary and environmental sciences. He also established ASU's Honey Bee Research Facility.
Page is a highly cited author on such topics as Africanized bees, genetics and evolution of social organization, sex determination, and division of labor in insect societies.

Turning a Page in Entomological History
The ESA Governing Board today announced the new fellows, who will be recognized Nov. 11, 2012 at the ESA's annual meeting in Knoxville, Tenn.
Page, the vice provost and dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Arizona State University, Tempe, since July 2011, is a pioneer in the field of evolutionary genetics and the social behavior of honey bees.
Page did much of his research at UC Davis. He received his doctorate in entomology at UC Davis in 1980, learning from his major professor Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. (for whom the UC Davis bee research facility is named). He then joined The Ohio State University faculty before returning to UC Davis as a faculty member in 1989.
He chaired the UC Davis Department of Entomology from 1999 to 2004.
Page, who studies the evolution of complex social behavior in honey bees, from genes to societies, left UC Davis in 2004 to be the founding director of the new School of Life Sciences. Arizona State University, where he built a Social Insect Research Group that is now recognized worldwide.
Page was trained as an entomologist, evolutionary population geneticist, classical animal breeder, and mechanistic behaviorist, according to a news release issued by the ESA. "This training has defined his research approach of looking at the genetics and evolution of complex social behavior. He has taken a vertical approach to understanding the mechanisms of honey bee social foraging and how it evolves."
His work is contained in more than 225 research articles. Page has also co-edited three books and authored or co-authored two. Page is a highly cited ISI (Institute for Scientific Information) author in plant and animal science. He is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and an elected member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the German National Academy of Science, and the Brazilian Academy of Science. In 1995 he was awarded the Alexander von Humboldt Research Prize by the government of Germany.
Although Page resides in Arizona, his research bees are UC Davis-based residents. Bee breeder-geneticist Michael "Kim" Fondrk, who worked with Page at Ohio State University, UC Davis and ASU, manages the specialized genetic stock, which today includes 90 hives.
Of the 90 hives, about 70 have instrumentally inseminated queens as part of their pollen-hoarding breeding research program.
Back in 2006, Page told us: "Davis is still home to me. I raised my family there, my closest friends and colleagues are still in the entomology department there. I still feel very strong attachments."
Former department chair Robert Washino remembers him fondly. He recently recalled that "Rob chose to return to UC Davis in 1989 to be with his former major professor (Harry H. Laidlaw Jr.). He later cared for him and his wife, Ruth, in their declining years. We all remember Rob's scholarly side and his humanitarian side."
Page joins three other UC-affiliated entomologists in the ESA Fellows Class of 2012: Joseph Morse, professor of entomology at UC Riverside; Henry H. Hagedorn, who received his doctorate in entomology from UC Davis in 1970; and R. Michael Roe, who trained at the UC Davis Department of Entomology from 1981 to 1984 as a National Institutes of Health fellow in cellular and molecular biology.
And interestingly enough, Page is following in the footsteps of Harry H. Laidlaw Jr., who himself was elected an ESA fellow in 1991.
With the addition of Page, the UC Davis Department of Entomology now has 16 fellows who are current or former faculty members. The first was Richard M. Bohart (1913-2007), for whom the Bohart Museum of Entomology is named. He received the honor in 1947. Fifteen others followed: Donald McLean, elected in 1990; Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. (1907-2003), 1991; John Edman, 1994; Robert Washino, 1996; Bruce Eldridge, 2001; William Reisen, 2003; Harry Kaya, 2007; Michael Parrella and Frank Zalom, 2008; Walter Leal, 2009; Bruce Hammock and Thomas Scott, 2010; James R. Carey and Diane Ullman, 2011, and now Robert E. Page Jr., 2012.

Springing Into Action at the Laidlaw Facility
It's not spring, but don't tell that to the folks at the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility at the University of California, Davis.
Today bee breeder-geneticist Michael "Kim" Fondrk mowed the lush green grass around the apiary. Bee breeder-geneticist Susan Cobey, manager of the Laidlaw facility, continued preparing for a series of specialized bee courses. She tended the hives with beekeeper and junior specialist Elizabeth Frost and beekeeper Tylan Selby, a first-year entomology student.
The conference room buzzed with ideas for an upcoming tour. Following the meeting, Extension Apiculturist Eric Mussen of the UC Davis Department of Entomology faculty talked "bees 'n almonds" with Tabatha Yang, education and outreach coordinator for the Bohart Museum of Entomology on the UC Davis campus. Yang will be conducting the first of what will probably be many tours at the Laidlaw facility.
The tours will include the half-acre Häagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven and the quarter-acre Campus Buzzway. Both are bee friendly gardens that will provide a year-around food source for the bees, and educational opportunities for visitors.
Meanwhile, oblivious to the people activity, the bees continued to gather pollen and nectar from nearby almond trees.
"The queen bees are really busy laying eggs," Cobey said. That means more workers, more drones and more queen bees.
During the peak season, a queen bee can lay 2000 eggs a day, Cobey said.
That's definitely springing into action.

Examining Almond Blossoms

Almond pollination season is approaching, and with it, come concerns.
"A concern each year...is how many honey bee visitation hours occurred during bloom," writes Extension Apiculturist Eric Mussen in his newly published edition of from the UC Apiaries.
Mussen, a former New Englander who has seen dozens of almond pollination seasons in California (he's been a member of the UC Davis Department of Entomology since 1976), says California now has approximately 710,000 acres of almonds. Each acre requires two hives for pollination.
Since California doesn't have that many bees, beekeepers from around the country truck in their colonies. The going rate per hive over the last several years has ranged from $100 to $150.
Generally, California's almond pollination season starts around Feb. 10, Mussen says, and ends around March 10. That takes into account the early, mid- or late varieties that bloom at different times. However, the pollination period for each individual orchard is around 10 days.
The flight hours of a honey bee during almond pollination season? Approximately nine hours a day over a 10-day bloom period.
And what are flight hours? Mussen defines "flight hours" as "the number of hours above 55 degrees when the wind is less than 15 miles per hour, given a sufficient level of sunlight without rainfall."
"I believe that if the tree varieties overlap well in bloom, the bees usually have moved the pollen around in the morning and early afternoon on good flight days," he writes in his newsletter. "That probably requires only about four hours a day."
Of course, poor weather can interfere significantly with "fertilization and nut set," Mussen says, "but it would not be the fault of the bees."
As a service to beekeepers and growers, a retired beekeeper posts information on the Almond Board of California Web site indicating who's renting colonies and who needs pollination.
Meanwhile, check out the images below of UC Davis bee breeder-geneticist Kim Fondrk in a Dixon, Calif. almond orchard. Fondrk manages the Honey Bee Pollen Hoarding Selection Program at the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility, UC Davis, under the direction of Robert E. Page Jr., Arizona State University. Fondrk and Page moved the bees from Arizona to California several years ago.

It All Bee-Gan at UC Davis
The "honey bee reproductive ground plan" hypothesis that originated two dec
Page, emeritus professor of entomology at UC Davis and now founding director of the School of Life Sciences at Arizona State University, and his collaborator Gro Amdam, are featured in the Oct. 23rd edition of Science, a publication of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Writing in the behavior ecology section in an article headlined, "Sex and Social Structure," journalist Elizabeth Pennisi related that the scientists' research "has shown that reproductive traits help shape a honey bee worker's role in life and that ovaries are active players in the process-even if they play little role in reproduction in worker bees."
The specialized tasks "have their basis in what Amdam and Page call a reproductive ground plan," she wrote. Their work has provided a framework and tools to study division of labor, which now "converges on two genes that may explain both ovary size and behavior."
Page and Amdam, an associate professor in the School of Life Sciences and Norwegian University of Life Sciences, believe that genes and hormones likely control social roles as well as longevity.
Their research centers on the role of the ovary in honey bee colonies, and how the worker bees partition the labor of the colony with duties that include rearing young bees, constructing the nest, foraging for pollen and nectar, and processing the food.
Page, a pioneer in the field of evolutionary genetics and social behavior of bees, has long marveled at how highly social bees are. Worker bees, or infertile females, instinctively divide up their roles to run the hive, freeing the queen to lay eggs.
The worker bees serve as nurse maids, nannies, royal attendants, architects, builders, foragers, guards and undertakers.
But why are some colonies high-pollen collectors and hoarders, while others aren't?
His research on high and low pollen hoarding strains that began two decades led to the "reproductive ground plan" hypothesis. Page continues to keep his specialized bee stock, managed by bee breeder-geneticist M. Kim Fondrk, at UC Davis.
This is exciting research.
As Page told us: "The reproductive ground plan research is integrating developmental biology into insect sociobiology. It is completing the synthesis by looking for the signatures of levels of selection above the organism, at the level of the genes, physiology, and embryogenesis. It is substantiating the superorganism."
UC Davis is the hub for the development and maintenance of the high and low pollen hoarding strains of bees "that have been fundamental in testing the reproductive ground plan hypothesis and understanding how selection on colonies affects different levels of biological organization from genes to societies," he said.
Page, who received his doctorate in entomology from UC Davis, retired from UC Davis in 2004 to develop the School of Life Sciences in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Arizona State University.
Page and Amdam are the co-principal investigators on a federally funded project directed by UC Davis entomology professor James R. Carey. Carey directs the Biodemographic Determinants of Lifespan, a National Institutes of Health/National Institute of Aging-funded program involving scientists from UC Davis, UC Santa Barbara, UC Berkeley, Stanford and seven other academic institutions in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Greece.See more information on the UC Davis Entomology Web site.

I think for human paladins it comes out to 5% oddly enough, but it changes based on race/class.
Yeah, I sorta glossed over the derivation of naked dodge in the math and just used "suppose you have 5% dodge naked". I should probably add a bit on how to calculate it.
I think a lot of people have trouble with base versus naked stats, if those are even good terms to use.
I tend to use base to mean how much of a particular stat a class in general has with no regard to race, talents, gear, or contributions from other stats. I then tend to define naked as how much of a particular stat you have without talents or gear (but does consider race and contributions from other stats). Kind of the two extremes when not considering gear or talents.
Like agility for example, I differentiate dodge like this:
Base Dodge = how much dodge you have minus all agility and without gear or talents. The only thing that affects base dodge is class.
Base Agility = how much agility you have regardless of race, gear, or talents. The dodge from this is not considered part of base dodge, but simply referred to as dodge from base agility. Only class affects this.
Naked agility = how much agility you have regardless of gear or talents. Both class and race affect this. It is simply base_agility + agility_from_race
Naked dodge = how much dodge you have regardless of gear or talents. Both class and race affect this. It is simply base_dodge + dodge_from_naked_agility.
I do the same with health defining the base_health (which is class based), base_stamina (class based), naked stamina (race&class based), and naked health (race&class based)
Again, those are my own definitions though.
I noticed in your OP, you kind of use them interchangeably (not that my method is standard). I kind of wish there was a well defined terminology to differentiate the two.
I don't really know, but on my in-game character sheet it's said that numbers do not have diminishing returns tanken into account :
So, how is it really ? Are DR taken in account and blizzard's saying wrong stuff again or not ?
Thx for the anwser and great job by the way =)
The tooltip is worded in an awkward way. Since Deathknights have funky stuff with strength converting to parry, I'll use my own stats as a warrior.
I have a base 5% chance to parry, and 5% from Deflection for 10% parry that is not on DR. I'm at 549 defense (733 defense rating). As we see here, I have some parry rating:
When I crunch out the numbers (converting defense to parry chance and parry rating to parry chance), I find that my defense before diminishing returns is contributing 5.97% parry, and the parry rating is contributing 5.96% parry, for a total of 11.93% parry.
If I add that to my base and talent parry, I get 21.93%, which is not what we see on the tooltip. So, let's put the parry from defense and rating to the DR. When we do that, they combine to make 9.85% parry, which when added to the 10% from base and parry gives the correct 19.85% parry chance.
So the answer to that question is that the number at the top of the tooltip is your complete parry chance including diminishing returns. The "before diminishing returns" part applies only to the parry chance from rating shown on the tooltip. Same thing happens on the dodge tooltip.
There seem to be a lot of confusion about whether or not the values displayed on the character sheet are correct, let me see if I can clear some of this up. If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me.
The character sheet values are correct. When you open up your character sheet, all of the numbers displayed to you as statistics for base stats, dodge, parry, crit, armor, whatever are the correct values that formulas (like satrina's) are trying to reproduce.
If your character sheet says you have 23.45% dodge chance, thats what you have.
The values that are troublesome and inaccurate are the ones displayed when you mouse over one of your statistics to get more detailed information about that stat. For example: mousing over dodge tells me that 600 dodge rating gives me 15% dodge. note that the tooltip here says "before diminishing returns." In this example 600 dodge rating is not really giving me 15% dodge, despite the tooltip, its giving me maybe 12% dodge.
The only avoidance chance that isn't displayed on your character sheet directly is Miss Chance, which you need to mouse over your defense value to see. Because it is displayed in a tooltip, it is not accurate in regards to diminishing returns. This also makes it tricky to test formulas for miss chance.
Also because miss is displayed in the tooltip of defense, and we do not have a stat to actually show us our miss chance, we don't see our base miss chance, miss chance from buffs, or any other factors affecting miss chance.
Another piece of information to keep in mind while looking at character sheet values is that these values are for fighting a mob that is the same level as you. When fighting higher level mobs, there are usually penalties (stat depression) applied to each stat, for example if you're level 80, fighting a level 83 mob, your chance to dodge is actually 0.6% lower than what your character sheet displays. Another example is in physical hit chance, where your chance to hit has a penalty equal to: 0.1% per point in difference between the targets defense skill (level x 5) and your weapon skill and if the difference is more than 10 points, a 1% penalty + 0.4% per point difference after the first 10 points
So basically if you see a value displayed directly on your character sheet, and not in a tooltip for one of the stats on your character sheet, then the information you're looking at is correct for fighting mobs your level. The stats displayed in tooltips ,on the other hand, are not always correct. Miss chance displayed in the tooltip for defense is not accurate, nor is it attempting to represent your total miss chance.
Hope this clears up some of the confusion
Is there a warrior i guess macro i can use to see what my total percentage of avoidance is and if so is it different than the paladins Thank yall for your help
I have been trying to calculate my dodge % and I've found some ambiguities.
I am a Blood Elf Paladin, and currently without talents and gear I am sitting at 5.03% dodge.
When calculating my dodge using the formulas in the OP, I always ended up right on what is shown in my character sheet, BUT that is assuming that we have 5% base dodge.
In wowwiki, I found a list of supposed "Base dodge" and they have listed 3.268500% for paladins. Adding the 92 agility from base stats should give 92/52.083333=1.76640% dodge. This adds up to 5.034900%, which is closer to what is shown in my character sheet and more logical than assuming plain 5% base dodge. Now, there are 2 things that I do not understand about this method to calculate base dodge, 1) Where do those 3.2685% come from, and 2) Why isn't the dodge coming from base agility subject to diminishing returns?
Lastly, when I calculate my dodge using 5.03% base dodge, I always end up ~0.3% higher than what is shown in my character sheet. What is the problem here?
I also just realized one more thing.
Patch 3.2.0 (2009-08-04):
If agility per dodge % was increased, how come does the formula still works just fine?
- Agility: The amount of agility required per percentage of dodge has been increased by 15%. This change required recalibrating the amount of dodge a player has with 0 agility by a slight amount as well, so all players will see their dodge percentage vary a small amount.
Last edited by fjsuarez; 08-11-2009 at 04:51 AM.
Everything comes out correctly for me using the 5.03% you see naked:
1. Agility from gear = 22. The conversion factor for this is 0.0192/1.15 per the 3.2 changes. This gives you 22*0.0192/1.15 = 0.3673 % dodge from agility pre DR
2. You have 12.31% dodge from dodge rating pre DR
3. You have 5.64% dodge from defense pre DR
Your sum dodge pre DR is 0.3673 + 12.31 + 5.64 = 18.3173% total dodge pre DR
Running that through the DR equation gives 15.7386% dodge post DR.
I am guessing you aren't calculting your dodge from agility from gear? That's around a .367% difference before DR is accounted for.
Adding in 5% from talents and your 5.03% naked gives:
15.7386 + 5 + 5.03 = 25.7686% dodge, or 25.77% on your character sheet.
I am not sure what math you are running, but everything comes out ok on this end

Thank you very much, adjusting for the change in agility it works out now. But still I am confused about the 5.03% base dodge. How do you calculate that? Or is it an arbitrary value?
naked_dodge = dodge_from_naked_agility + base_dodge.
While you can calculate dodge_from_naked_agility, base_dodge has no "calculation". It is that it is. Just like base health for a particular class is X, base dodge for a particular class is Y. Blizzard picked those values for some reason, but we don't know why.
WoW -> Patch Notes -> Current Patch Notes
Since the Changes in 3.2 to Dodge Rating and Parry Rating.
Dodge Rating: The amount of dodge rating required per percentage of dodge has been increased by 15%. This is before diminishing returns. Combined with other changes, this makes dodge rating and parry rating equally potent before diminishing returns apply.
Parry Rating: The amount of parry rating required per percentage of parry has been reduced by 8%. This is before diminishing returns. Combined with other changes, this makes dodge rating and parry rating equally potent before diminishing returns apply. Parry still diminishes more quickly than dodge.
I would like to just Double check on the topic of:
Gemming for Avoidance
The Diminishing on Parry hasn't changed, so after 540 DEF, you should not Gem for Parry
Should you NOW not gem for Dodge also, but instead just gem for Straight Defense?
Last edited by Doombringer; 08-14-2009 at 12:54 PM.
Nono, dodge and parry now have the same conversion before diminishing returns, at about 45 rating to 1% pre-diminishing returns. Parry still hits its diminishing returns far faster than dodge, as shown in Post 29
Parry is now better than it was, but it is still inferior to dodge. There is, however, a point where adding parry is (briefly) better than dodge. That point is when you have more than 1.88 times your parry rating in dodge rating. So, if you have 100 parry rating and 190 dodge rating, then adding 20 parry rating will net you more avoidance than adding 20 dodge rating. Of course, once you've added that 20 parry rating, 1.88 times that 120 parry rating is 225.6, so you're now adding dodge rating again for a while. Because of this, gemming parry is probably not worth your while even still, just because it's a pain in the ass to keep all that balanced. As soon as you swap a piece of gear around for a fight, your whole "parry balance" will get thrown away.
It's still not a very good idea to try and be an "avoidance tank" anyway.
Well the ratio of 1.875 more applies do "dodge affected by DR" compared to "parry affected by DR". Not the ratings specifically, though they obviously contribute to those values.
The general equation for paladins/warriors is *approximately*:
The general equation for deathknights is "dodge is always better".
Thanks, Jere, I didn't know the exact math that people had worked. I'll include this in the initial posts later!
