monk ratios, primary and offhand choices

[Troxx]

I wonder if my old photobucket account still exists and is retrievable. Pretty sure the aggregate of all my Mayong Mistmoore parses were that somewhere around 52-53% of all received hits were for minimum damage (DI 1) and that >85% of the hits were all DI 10 and below with 100% of all hits being DIs 17 and below. Defensive parses from hp centric tanks in my guild showed max hit DI of like 10%ish, much lower percentage of DIs in 17/18/19 relative to max hit, and a minimum hit rate % of upper 20s? For DoDH the AC break point was +/- between 200 and 300ac. 2-3 hundred less and damage was spikey ... 2-3 hundred more and the tanking game was broken.

Rates of minimum hits received (DI 1) were around 70% for the nastiest group trash I could find. >90% of hits were in the bottom 5 DIs and 0% of the hits were in the highest 5 DIs.

The graphs were shockingly impressive. Unlike most tanks I almost exclusively used evasive over defensive. The hits were so low that the impact of the extra avoidance was a whole lot bigger than cutting the dmg received from the damage interval component in half. Max hits never happened and rounds with nothing but higher DIs (ie all hits landed and all landed for DIs 9-17) were so improbable that the tank killing spikes didnt occur. That ultimate safety net defensive provided over evasive was completely unnecessary.
