So I went on a heroic run with another guildy rogue 2 days ago. He has around 1400 attack power and at the time I had 1817, unbuffed. So I though to myself, "Okay I'm gonna out dps this **** like crazy!" WRONG!! He certainly out dpsed me, but not by too much and at the end of the instance I was left scratching my head like WTF! I checked his stats again and lo and behold, he had a pretty decent amount of HIT RATING!! I always thought that more attack power would compensate for the lack of hit rating I had, but I am certainly wrong. And I wasn't the only one thinking this, as other rogues on my server thought the same thing. So yeah....to all of you end-game raiding/grinding heroics rogues out there, make sure you have a nice amount of hit rating. Attack power does not compensate for it. Flames incoming!
PS: Anyone know the hit rating cap?
