I previously levelled a belf mage to level 20 before i got distracted levelling a feral druid and shammy :)
Anyways I've started a new troll mage, I'm level 6 and I seem to be getting a ridiculous number of misses... one in every five spells is a miss. And this is against similar level durotar boars and scorpions.
I definitely don't remember getting this many misses when i was levelling the belf mage and I didn't even talent any +hit back then.....
Am I just unlucky or am I missing something? Is it anything to do with a troll's low starting intellect?

Intellect has nothing to do with you miss/hit chance. It deals with your mana and your "critical hit" chance.
As for your actual question, link your armory. It'll help determine why you're missing so much since it could be a number of things.

Could just be bad luck, I believe you have a 97% chance to hit an equal level mob (someone correct me if I'm wrong) and that number jumps higher after each
It may also be because you can actually see the misses now. If I'm not mistaken, it didn't use to look like it missed, it'd just miss and you wouldn't know it unless you kept your eye on your combat log (and even then, I'm not sure if it told you you missed, I just recently started watching my combat log). Now you can actually see the spell zoom by the mob and miss it.
thanks guys.
pretty funny to watch actually when the mob is right in front of you, the spell flies straight up into the air... i keep thinking that a random pigeon just got toasted with a fireball...
also by the way, my tooltip for beserking still shows a mana cost.... didn't that get removed when blizzard revamped all racials?

I could be mistaken, but weren't spell "Misses" always represented as "Resists". Since 3.0, it's actually the first time I've ever noticed "Missing" with a spell. I believe they changed miss rate in that you can actually eliminate misses now, perhaps they changed more about the mechanic that just that.
Anyhow .. to see a nice big Pyro leave your hands and immediately start off on the wrong path ... it's almost like watching a train about to hit a stranded car at a level crossing - you can see that the disaster is about to happen, but there's nothing you can do about it ;-D

That is correct. Now all there are is full and partial resists. Full represents as a miss (and flies past them) and a partial resist will still hit.
