Lets hope they dont delete this one:

updates:

These are suggested defense, (d), shield (s) and absorb (a) ratings for full revenite gear.

boss_damage*squish - self _heals*heal_buff - heals_received*healer_buff*heal_buff - self_bubble - relic bubble = damage taken. Squish is the fraction of damage taken, so the lower the better. I have assumed 6,000 dps for these calcs.

Just copy the coded sections and paste into notepad or excel (and delimit for spaces). it will look alot better. or just download the spreadsheet.

I optimized the stats for the relics which provide best mitigation. Relic shorthand used:

D: Fortunate Redoubt (defense)

A: Shield Amplification (absorb)

S: Shrouded Crusader (shield and absorb)

W: Reactive Warding (bubble)

reactive warding relic best if boss dps < relic_bubble/((squish_with_relic - squish_without_relic)*cooldown). I have =ward in the tables that shows what the boss dps has to be to make the 2nd best relic for that fight better than the reactive warding relic.

Please find my errors.

Bugs

Need to sort out which abilities get multiplicative dr buff.

Need to sort out b mods and endruance stuff. i need pre mitigation damage for each boss, and the fight length. also want a spike matters term between 0 and 10 for each boss. and a post mitigation spike of interest, and an amount of health your healers would like you to have after such a hit. (x factor, spike, buffer values to optimize with)

need to find absorb minimum for some spike calcs.

Using excel solver... i try to use different seeds if i see funny data

thanks.

so with 3.0 there are now damage reductions for all damage types and attack types. i am assuming they are summed, but i can imagine that overall is multiplied after the sums of the specific types. for example:

i have 5% m/r damage reduction, 6% k/e damage reduction, lets say 20% k/e damage reduction due to armor, and 10% overall damasge reduction.

for a m/r + k/e hit would squish look like [0*d+(1-d)*s*(1-a)+(1-d)*(1-s)]*[1-(0.05+(0.06+0.2))]*(1-0.1)

or [0*d+(1-d)*s*(1-a)+(1-d)*(1-s)]*[1-(0.10+0.05+0.06+0.2)]

or they could all be multiplicative... [0*d+(1-d)*s*(1-a)+(1-d)*(1-s)]*[(1-0.05)*(1-0.06-0.02)*(1-0.1)]

i seem to remember that debuffs that provide overall damage reduction were multiplied after everything from the tree.

i seem to remember that debuffs that provide overall damage reduction were multiplied after everything from the tree.

They are, however active abilites like crushing blow armour buff is additive.

Those are close to my numbers. However you seem to have wrong values for Sparky. His shoulder Throw and his throw back are ft/ke. In my old values i assumed it would be f/T+i/e.

Interesting to see that the Juggernaut is the tank receiving the most dmg especially in fights with a high F/T+K/E amount while his def CD's are not effective against that kind of dmg except for invincible and in some rare cases saber reflect.

In case you need dmg values of the bosses for HM :

Two comments that have little to do with stat weights:

Unless I'm blind there's no way to reach some of those shield values. The upper cap for shield in 198s should be 1928.

and

The reactive warding relic is Best in Slot (BiS) if Boss_dps > 3000 in all cases, in most cases the number is between 1800 and 2500.

I think you mean "less than".

I haven't looked through the details, those are just two things that jumped out at me.

thanks, i will update the numbers for new boss damage profiles, and set it up so shield cant be more than 1928. i also have to add defense minimum from the fortitude stim. (edit:updated)

so would all of the buffs from overall dr be outside the sum and multiplied then?

Cheers for doing the math for us again dipstik

I downloaded the spreadsheet for unlettered mods and noticed some cells (on the shadow/jugg/pt tabs) can be modified with my own dsa ratings.

Do these cells need to be modified with my own numbers?

I also noticed the Endruance and Armor cell, however the Armor cell contains a formula and I'm afraid I'll ruin the spreadsheet if I put in my own armor rating (if the field is for the armor rating ofcourse).

When I change the endurance (4448), armor (rating?) (11111), defense (1492), shield (1042) and absorb (743) values for my jugg I get an error in cell F20 on the jugg tab. The error is #N/B. I'm using Excel 2013.

When I change the values to the jugg numbers (2005/1200/798) you use for malfar on the bosses tab I also get the same error.

When I change the same numbers for my shadow and sin I do not get that error.

Mags

when you are changing stuff, dont use E13:F22 block. thats just a summary block. the cell you are talking about does get weird sometimes, i think its when 2 relic combos are really close or something. you can just look at the highlighted relic combo to get that info, A17:A23 will light up, the cell next to it will tell you the best relic combo.

if you are entering armor rating, you will want to figure out the pre-buff number to put in there

So my Juggernaut has base stat 3803 separated for defence 1640, shield 1175 and absorb 988. I read in other KBN thread that ideal would be 1191, 1287 and 1322 for base stat 3800. Clearly I have too much defence now and I should go for more shield and absorb. Am I a bad tank if I don't have ideal stats?

What I did, I bought some absorb and shield mods and enhancements for balancing my stats. This lowered my base stats so I had thoughts it cant be right. I replaced my all defence augments with absorb augments but im not event close to ideal.

Does anyone has to say for this?

Just re-read your number man, good stuff. Going to use some of it in my next project. Writing something that factors in tank cooldowns, going to take a while.

good luck! ive gotten 10% of the way on that trip a few times.

Just a fast question:

Is your math based on the amount of damage going out per damage type of hit?

Or the amount of hits going out per damage type?

Ah. Thanks.

Mine is mainly based in here's the number of hits in the fight, here's how many of each Type of hit there is, and here's the stats that can be used to counter that type.

The one I'm working on for cooldowns is weighted on the side of how much they hit for, but they are about to nerf the ops so everything is going to change.

first pass at 4.0 numbers, with a bunch of missing info. the squish numbers are going to be off due to not having the armor rating figured out. very little difference between high melee/ranged and high force/tech stat distributions. this assumes unlettered purple 44 gear with sturdiness/immunity numbers.

this assumes 23 second ward duration, 20 charges, 10 stacks of bulwark.

and here are numbers assuming 4.0 changes at 6 piece set bonuses (and immunity type numbers)... please check my work. the pt nubers not changing makes me think i did something wrong, but they change if i set the stat pool to a higher value.

The defense minima on the new gear virtually eliminates gear customization, since there are relatively few effects which have a significant impact on the relative value of shield and absorb (due to the way that they trade off against each other). So it doesn't surprise me that the numbers are fairly constant.

It is worth noting that my (very preliminary!) work produces slightly different results for shadows (lowMR followed by highMR):

{{defense -> 2931, shield -> 1207, absorb -> 1495},

{defense -> 2931, shield -> 1202, absorb -> 1500}}

These results don't take into account the new Kinetic Ward or the extra Kinetic Bulwark stacks, which obviously has an impact on things.

EDIT Actually, an even bigger omission from my calculations is the fact that I'm using unlettered mods for both stat budget and defense min. There's literally no question that B mods will be BiS by a mile, so I need to make that adjustment.

i will end up making two tables again, for lettered and unlettered. my guess is that trading 400 defense for 4500 health is probably worth it after you hit 2500 defense stat.
