The protection warrior guide

Elitist Jerks they may be, but they sure know their theorycraft. Quigon has a very detailed protection warrior guide up on the Elitist Jerks forums, for everyone who didn't know yet that 2.3654 defensive rating = 1 defense skill (which then equals 0.04% improvement on various defensive stats). Which then means that you need 140 extra defense, or 336 defense rating at level 70 over your natural base of 350 defense, to become uncritable. As I said, the guide is very detailed, with formulas and graphs, so at the end I felt I needed to program a spreadsheet to decide what gear to chose on my protection warrior. Then I got over it, and decided to play on without too much minmaxing.
