hit capping?Follow

I appolgize for posting about hitcap but I have looked through the stickies and can't find info on it.

What is a rogue's hit cap. My guild has been asking and I told them I would try to find out for them. Thank you in advance.

Hey, I have a T-shirt that says that!

You shouldn't be raiding as ShS.

Respec.

No, that's incorrect.

I can get to 363 hit in Kara gear with how much itemization is pushed towards hit.

Hell, I'm at ~280ish with red gems and stuff in my gear; hardly optimally gemmed.

Hit cap is important for rogues, and I'd suggest seriously considering it once you get into TK/SSC or start getting down the 3rd timer in ZA. Definitely something you want to reach come early-T6.
For warriors, it's the same hit cap, but it's not *nearly* as important. Beyond 9% (to cap special attacks), their hit rating doesn't matter nearly as much. While hit rating as a rogue is the single best stat until it's capped, once a warrior gets 9% every other stat is more important.

Also, if you refuse to drop hemo, go 11/28/22, grabbing all the "must-haves" (Ruthlessness, Sword Spec, Weapon Expertise, Dual-Wield Spec, iSnD). Provided the charges are being consumed, it's still pretty good until upper T5 or T6 levels. Combat/swords is the foolproof way to go, though.

Yes and no. Warriors shouldn't hit cap themselves. AP/str and Crit all provide way bigger increases to dps than hit will. After a warrior gets 8.6% to hit, they don't really need to focus on getting more hit rating to get better dps. a majority of dps for a warrior comes from BT/WW/HS rotation of skills, which don't have 27.6% miss rates.

Does anyone have the hit rating to hit percentage formula for players below level 70?

I went through wowwiki and the roguecraft 101, but they don't seem to have the answer I need and refer to level 70 players aiming for level 73 mobs only.

Get the addon RatingBuster. It adds rating->% to tooltips, as well as gives the crit % given by agility, for example.

I wouldn't worry too much about gear and stats while leveling. Yes it will improve your dps/tanking/healing etc, but really you'll be replacing your gear rather quickly especially in on the journey from 60 to 70.

Don't worry about reaching cap stat or certain level of stamina or dmg before 70. However it can be important to take it into consideration on the way because some drops and quests rewards will help you reach that goal at 70.

Look at what you want your character to be at 70 and work towards those goals. A tank will need defense and health. A healer will need +healing, int, mp5, etc. A melee dps needs hit, ap and crit. A caster dps needs spell hit, dmg and crit.

These magic numbers really come into play at level 70 because that's where most of the gear to reach those numbers become available. It's also because of the lvl of mobs you'll be fighting at 70.

Keep it in mind while leveling but it's nothing to lose sleep over. At 70 it turns more into a game of gear progression. Before that it was more of a leveling game.

Awesome! The author even had the plain formula I was after in the description.

79 hit rating for PvP, no more, no less.

Lord, I really need to write my PvP FAQ/Discussion thread.
