I updated the initial post with a few different items discovered using lootzor, I took out Elixir of Mastery as it wouldn't stack with the Elixir of Major Agility (it still gives more avoidance than the flask), I added in the Scroll of Agility V, and I discovered that I DID include the enchant "Enchant Weapon - Greater Agility" in my inital post, but forgot or something. Stats from the enchants stay the same.

I am now at 3.64% chance to be hit (blocked hit, of course). DW isn't the best option as the shield listed offers better avoidance than any weapon, even if that weapon has another +20 agi enchant on it. Also, as Malazaar mentioned above, without a shield you turn 3.64% chance to block into 3.64% chance to be crushed.


Note that if I put mongoose on the main hand instead of the 20 agility, 100% immunity will be reached every time mongoose procs.

Forgive me if I missed this but are these statistics for a level 73? The avoidance shown on your profile is higher than the avoidance you have against bosses. Did you include that into the calculation? Forgive me if you did, I just didn't notice it.

Generating threat might be easier than you think, since you can pretty much tank with only 5 points in protection and even in Berserker Stance :>

All calculations assume a level 73 mob. Level will effect how much defense effects your avoidance, so you will have more avoidance in this setup against a level 70 than a 73.

The idea is to be missed, dodge, or parry 100% of incoming attacks. You don't need a shield because you will never be hit to be crushed (or the armor to mitigate the damage either).

Fun concept. The principle of the glass canon applied to tanking.

Now, if there was some way to do this while dual wielding, it would be an interesting way for a Fury warrior to offtank 3 or 4 adds needing little to no heals.

As someone mentioned theres definate application for it for a couple of fights. Not like you need it but Al'ar phase 1 would be another example where a 100% avoidance tank could keep aggro indefinately without being hit. Pretty pointless but fun!

Another way to "abuse" whis would be in any basic tank'n'spank fight, with a enrage that only increases the boss's melee vs the tank.

Who cares bout threat gen? You stand there Auto attack for a couple of minutes first, its not like anyone else has to do anything...

When the tank has enough threat, DPS can start a bit. Sure it'll take ages, but eventually, you'll get the kill.

I can see it now ....

Guild Master: Uh guys? One of the bosses in our instance save is .... missing.
Tank: Nah, I grabbed Bob the hunter and Dave the druid and we killed him last night. Was only caster lewt. Meh.

That's a very interesting project, sounds like a lot of fun if it works!

Also, for a ring slot, if I'm not mistaken this ring, Elementium Band of the Sentry - Items - World of Warcraft, is better than the Band of the Eternal Defender, for avoidance.

Why do you need the hunter and druid? Even a warrior on his/her own will do the damage eventually, and if you're 100% immune, why risk it? :-)

That said, *are* there any melee-only bosses in the current endgame?
