? about hit rating. Am I bugged?Follow

To start things off, my guild and I are just beginning to get back into doing raids. I have been gearing up from heroics, badge gear, and rep while doing research from these forums, shadowpanther.net, and EJ on how to play / progress my toon. Now, IIRC, according to Vulajin the new hit caps for WotLK are ~8% for specials, and ~27% for dual wield white hits. My hit is at 11.34%, expertise is 25, including gear and talents.

Now for my problem, today I ran 10man OS, 10man VoA, and 25man VoA.... and I missed, a lot. On 10 OS and 10 VoA I have somewhat reasonable numbers on misses, but my miss rate on 25 VoA is bizarrely high, to me at least. A Recount from 25man VoA says my swings missed over 27%(129 times) and SS missed over 12%(14 times). The expertise mechanics seemed to have worked correctly as I was only dodged 0.1% from my white hits and 0.2% of my SS for all of the raids.

Here is a WWS of the 3 raids, this link goes to data from my toon covering all bosses, be sure to check out 25 Archavon by itself as well: http://wowwebstats.com/omon5oif1ses1?a=x2f3786&s=bosses

Here is my armory: http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Alleria&n=Narchost

So... why is my miss rate so high? To me, the numbers don't make sense... Am I bugged? Did I just have a bad run-in with the RNG?

Well I'm not a numbers guru, but 208 is way low for your hit rating. The poison cap (for mutilate anyway) is 315, and that is what I've picked up as to be the base for mutilate raiding. You are combat specced, which means you are more heavily reliant on white dmg, and 208 isn't going to cut it. Quick thoughts are 20 hit to gloves and getting rid of that crit/stam gem and replacing it with +hit, and picking up the Argent Crusade boots (Epic, and 66 hit), being that you are about 3 heroics away from getting exalted.

Well I just realized a big part of my problem:

1. Choking Cloud reduces hit chance by 50%.
2. I need to get the hell out of Choking Cloud.
3. I need to disable some of my addons to increase FPS, so I can get out of Choking Cloud quicker.

Thanks for your post Thomas, yes my hit is low... most of the gear I have sought out and had drop has been lacking in hit, and expertise seems more plentiful than water. The AC boots are exactly what I'm shooting for next as a gear upgrade, currently wearing their tabbard. You are right about my crit / stam gem, I got that on a whim looking for a yellow gem to cover a future meta slot that also gave me the socket bonus, I should replace it with a rigid gem.

Other forum newcomers take note.

And, uh... ditto what TM said above. Looks like you're doing a fine job so far.
