Missing skill shots @ 8.50 hit chance

My character keeps missing cheap shots and keydney shots today in Arena. My hit is currently 8.50 and I have not changed anything since I played last time. My stats also show incorrectly with crit chance being as low as 13% with a 200 crit rating. Any suggestions?

weapon skill? Unless maxed out (even in pvp) it affects crit atleast. And what are you missing? mages? Druids? Even if ur capped or w.e you always have chance to miss

Let me guess…

Was it a Disc Priest?

hit cap for your yellow skills is 9%, and multiple classes have talents to reeduce chance of being hit (rogues for example have loads of those in the sub tree)

Wrong. Hit cap in pvp is 5% (technically thats a soft cap aka against any 70) - now if we are talking talents then most classes wont go over 7% (insect swarm) / rogue talent only works against ranged+spells and MOST mages dont go more than 3/5 into arctic winds (3%).

In theory hardcap would be 10% against those frost mages that do go 5/5 but thats unnecessary.

In short 5% for yellow against 70s and 8% for a realistical hardcap in pvp so i assume u have low weapon skill (i should know cause it happened to me as well :smiley: )

pretty sure overcap doesn’t work anymore to counter these talents

NE priests has an ability that reduces chance to hit them with melee/ranged attack by 20% for 15 seconds.

He don’t mean hemorrage, but stun so all of this can make stun fail.

for blind resist

It doesn’t work for spells! But it works for physical. E.g. you CAN negate a mages or rogues increase miss chance from talents with more hit rating but you can’t negate it for spell resists against for example unbreakable will (spriest) talent with more spell hit rating. Wushu explained it very nicely.

oh ok, thanks for clarifying

It’s been commeted that stuns and resists are way higher than they should be - Blizzard claim things match their reference client, but people like Hydra have custom adds to do the raw maths. Resist/miss chance is closer to 9% in most of his arena session.

Well he also sometimes has sessions with 0% resist (I think it happened just yesterday). And of course the overall resist chance is going to be above 1% (which should be the baseline if you’re hitcapped and they have no shadow res) since priests, rogues, ferals, and mages have extra resist chance from talents. Not saying the values are correct of course since I don’t actually know how this looked like in original TBC.
