Okay I see. I was thinking that items had an equal percentage chance to drop each item suffix. Not that he means "of Nature Resistance has a 1/5 (or 20%) chance of occurring". My mistake.

http://wowwiki.wikia.com is not good source for getting vanilla hard data. Some items have only specific random bonuses they can get, while others have many more. Then there's also changes in vanilla which is why patch info was added. If one item have for example 5 types of random bonuses it can have, then i have listed it as 1/5
if the item drops, as a rough estimate.
The sheet was aimed at the average player, so i did not add more complicated numbers than it needs to be.
But if you guys want something changed, or if you can verify that some data is wrong, post it here.
I did a quick run through the MaNGOS data table posted earlier and found a few things on it.
Ex1: Green lens has a 0% chance to have "of Nature Resistance" or any resistance modifier at all. This might be me reading it wrong or Nostalrius has possibly changed this.
Ex2: Changed Gear has 0.3% chance to have "of Nature Resistance" , Archivist Cape has 0.6% chance to have "of Nature Resistance, Drakeclaw Band has 0.5% chance to have "of Nature Resistance". This would make them way more rare than it states on the spreadsheet.
I didn't want to search through everything in case I'm wrong. If someone who is better with this stuff wanted to check those examples at least though I'd appreciate it.
