Addon for Tank relevant stats

[xebtria]

Hi,

I'm looking for an addon but I didn't find one that fits my needs.
So the idea was to write my own one. But where to start?

Ok, I have my toc and I know that I need a lua where all the code is and maybe some libs. maybe a locale as well.

but what to do then?

the basic Idea is:
- it should be a broker-lib addon. I simply want to display some stats there. what the addon should do is - it simply should display the combined avoidance for me (which is, block+parry+dodge+5%). Since I use chocolatebar to display broker addons, there should be just this number in the bar displayed.

how do I start this?

I think when I got a start, inserting the formula isn't the big deal... maybe even extending the addon isn't that very complicated then. But I need a start, where I can build up from.

maybe someone has some time left over to support me?

thanks in advance,
xeb

This can do that.

Nevermind, I thought it said Avoidance, it doesn't, but when you google addon that shows avoidance, a TON of stuff shows up.

If you are dead set on writing your own, grats to you. I use Bazooka with a broker called tankinfo I believe. It shows total avoidance factoring in block, the 5% miss chance and the 7.4% greater chance a skull raid boss has to hit you. If you mouseover it, a drop-down will display that itemizes everything by start with separations between a mob that DW's vs one that uses a single weapon. It even shows the chance to get a critical block in the itemized mouseover drop down.

/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Need 102.4 combat table coverage. Currently at: "..string.format("%.2f", GetDodgeChance()+GetBlockChance()+GetParryChance()+5))

this macro should do exactly what that addon your asking for does

A boss NPC is considered as level 88. For each level above the player, the NPC reduces the player's chance to dodge, parry, miss and block by 0.2%. The boss has, in other words, a 2.4% greater chance of hitting you, not 7.4%.

I miss tanktotals, it showed exactly everything i wanted to know about tank stats, avoidance, general EH, resistances, etc.
