Assume a player has 30% crit chance, and shoots you for 100 damage.

If he shoots you 100 times, you get (100x100)+(30x100)=13000 damage. (These are melee crits).

Now resilience reduces crit chance by um 15% (is this number accurate?) and crit damage by 25%.

So now he shoots you for (100x100) + (15x100x0.75) = 11125 dmg

11125/13000 = 85.58%

So if you have 492 resilience then you take 14.5% less damage?

But I think that there's something wrong with this; it seems too simple.

30% crit:
Damage*(0.7+0.3*Multiplier).
15% crit reduction, 25% dmg reduction:
Damage*(0.85+0.15*Multiplier*0.75).
Divided, assuming Multiplier=2x:
1.3/1.075~0.827: 82.7% of incomeing damage.

General formula:
                        (1-CritChanse)+CritChanse*Multiplier
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1-CritChanse+CritRdc)+(CritChanse-CritRdc)*Multiplier*(1-DmgRdc)

Accurate numbers are 12.5 critical chanse and 25% damage reduction(here come yours 85.58%). Damage reduction=2*Critical chanse reduction(up to 25% damage reduction). 1% Critical chanse reduction=39.4 Resilience rating. Taking that in account, formula becomes this:

              (1-CC)+CC*M
------------------------------------------------------
[(1-CC)+CC*M+(1-2*CC*M-M)*X+2*M*(X^2)]

X=Resilience/3940

You can get kinda the same information at wowwiki: http://www.wowwiki.com/Resilience. I suggest you to use this resource, before asking something. Just because there you can find almost everything you need to know without any delay. ;)

No problems. It seems to me, that I'm the only guy who actually cares about WoW's math here. I'd suggest Thott to close this forum section and just put a reference to wowwiki. There's enough people retarded like me@wowwiki who calculates the same shit over and over, while the only truth is: the practice owns. :S
