Hit Rating

[Hamil-shazzrah]

Hi.

Currently level 36 on the Horde side. Getting really tired of the endless string of parry, dodge, resist, and miss. How do I improve my chance to hit mobs?
I appreciate that higher levels mobs shhould require an even higher rating but at the moment even fighting mobs of my level or below it seems i miss with more attacks than I actually hit with. So far, I dont remember coming across a single item of gear that looked like it would increase my chance to hit. Is there a certain stat I should be looking for ?
(im playing an Enhancement shaman so I presume it would be melee hit and not spell hit I’m looking for)

Stop fighting mobs that are higher level than you are. There aren’t too many items that give hit rating while leveling.

Reroll orc.
No jokes, the only way before level 44.

It’s Classic, bro. Mobs are angry here.

You can also up your levels in dungeons. Its easier. You need only to heal in that case.

well that is the thing with a real mmorpg, to struggle with some things. of course we miss, this is not retail that you gather 100 mobs and kill them with full mana in 10 seconds.

You may find it easier to do quests involving mobs a bit lower level than you.

I mean, technically the rating system doesn’t even exist, so neither does hit rating (it’s given as a flat percentage instead). At low levels you’re basically out of luck, but there are a few small opportunities to gain weapon skill bonuses (e.g. the Defias set from Deadmines has +1 daggers as a set bonus).

The only way to gain more hit is gaining more hit % chance, be it via talents or gear. Increasing weapon skill is pseudo gaining more hit as well, during levelling the only real way is via talents. Would advise going against mobs higher level then you for that reason.
