So, just for fun, I'm gonna start working on an avoidance set. It'll be done on my own time, using heroic badges and whatnot, nothing else to spend on now anyways. Maybe pick some stuff off NRP if the opportunity arises. This blog will be my checklist of sorts and calculations thrown in.

The Goal: 101.8% avoidance. Which for a rogue means, Dodge, Parry, and Miss Rate only. Defense is only about 75% as effective due to no ability to block. With avoidance, it'd make 1% Dodge = 1% Parry = 1% Miss Rate = 1% Avoidance.

The Macro:: This would be the in game macro that will help you monitor your avoidance. Doesn't count for Scorpid Sting or Insect Swarm, but you can manually add that in with a +5 +2 in there if you wish.

/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Need 101.8 combined avoidance. Currently at:",0.8,0.8,1)
/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(GetDodgeChance() + GetBlockChance() + GetParryChance() + 5 + floor(GetCombatRatingBonus(CR_DEFENSE_SKILL)) * 0.04,1,0.5,0)

My Spec: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=f0eboZ0xxZxrxohuRoxsx

Agility: 20 agi = 1% dodge. Assuming Sinister Calling (15% more agi) and Kings (10% more), we essentially get that 1 agi on gear = 1x0.1x0.15) = 1.265 agi on paper. So, 1 agi = 1.265 * (1% / 20) Dodge = 0.06325% Avoidance.

Dodge Rating: 18.92307854 = 1% dodge. So, 1 dodge rating = 1% / 18.92307854 = 0.052845523% Avoidance

Defense Rating: 2.365385056 = 1 Defense = 0.04% Dodge + 0.04% Parry + 0.04% Miss Rate = 0.12% Avoidance. So 1 defense rating = 0.12% / 2.365385056 = 0.050731697% Avoidance

Parry Rating: 23.65384674 = 1% parry. So, 1 parry rating = 1% / 23.65384674 = 0.042276421% Avoidance.

With these numbers, we essentially get a stat weight for each of these values.

Gems:

• Epic - [Delicate Crimson Spinel] is also the only choice, since equivalent gems give the exact same number of stats (10 def, 10 parry, 10 dodge, etc), agility wins out point for point. So, the stat weight for this is automatically: 10 * 0.06325 = 0.6325% Avoidance
• Rare - [Delicate Living Ruby] = Just for reference if using "cheaper" gems: 8 * 0.0625 = 0.506 % Avoidance
• [Glistening Fire Opal] would be useful to fill in some meta gem requirements for yellows = 0.506658489% Avoidance
• [Shadowsong Amethyst] = Only blue color gem to fill in meta gem = 0.31625% Avoidance

Enchants:

• Helm - [Glyph of the Defender] = 16 * 0.050632911 + 17 * 0.052854122 = 1.710081073% Avoidance
• Cloak - 12 agility = 0.759% Avoidance
• Shoulders - [Greater Inscription of Warding] = 1.299999838% Avoidance
• Chest - 15 defense = 0.760975468% Avoidance
• Bracers - 12 defense = 0.608780374% Avoidance
• Gloves - 15 agility = 0.94875% Avoidance
• Legs - 12 agility = 0.759% Avoidance
• Boots - 12 agility = 0.759% Avoidance
• Weapons - 20 agility = 1.265% Avoidance

Buffs: Well might not get all these, but just considering the numbers

• [Elixir of Major Agility] - 2.21375% Avoidance
• [Warp Burger] - 1.265% Avoidance
• [Scroll of Agility V] - 1.265% Avoidance
• Mark of the Wild - 14 Agility (18 Improved) = 0.8855% Avoidance (1.1385% Improved)
  
• Grace of Air = 77 agility (88 Improved) = 4.87025% Avoidance (5.566% Improved)
• Scorpid Sting - 5% Avoidance
• Insect Swarm - 2% Avoidance

Spec:

• Lightning Reflexes = 5% Avoidance
• Deflection = 5% Avoidance

Weapons: [Rage] = 1.8975% Avoidance, [Umbral Shiv] = 2.024% Avoidance +

Stats:

Base Agility = 163
Base Dodge = 1% + 5% - 0.59% = 5.41%
Base Parry = 5% + 5% = 10%
Boss Miss Rate = 5%
Scorpid = 5%
Insect = 2%

Dodge Rating = 162 = 8.560974878%
Defense Rating = 111 = 46 defense = 1.84% dodge, 1.84% parry, 1.84% miss

Gear + Buff Agility = 628 + 181 = 809 + 163 = 972
Sinister Calling + Kings = (163*1.15 + round(809*1.15) ) * 1.1 = 1229 agi
Agility Dodge = 1229 / 20 = 61.45%

Total Avoidance = 5.41 + 10 + 5 + 5 + 2 + 8.560974878 + 3x1.84 + 61.45 = 102.9409749% / 101.8%

Just some vids at attempts at tanking, didn't quite make the kill in any of them. Need more avoidance!
