After getting so many resist on spell like frost nova cone of cold and arcane explosion when i have 8% spell hit i check my gear and find out that when i have items equip value of spell hit is 0% and
Have you tested it without all of the AddOns you have installed?
just looks like your janky as* addon
Give me 1 sec i will disabel all addons and only save this one that is showing stats
With another addon named “extended player stats” or something alike it takes time for that addon to notice I changed anything. Would say it’s at minimum the addon problem. To test it in game you would have to use like level 63 target dummies which don’t scale that high in blasted lands 
i test that out only with addon that show my character stats and i take my belt to my bag and show me 2% but when i put it on agine show me 1% spell hit
Okay, not ruling out the possibility that those items are bugged in one way or another. But you say you have 8% hit, so I’m guessing you mean those two items, 3 points in Elemental Precision and 3 points in Arcane Focus.
The thing is, with the talents alone you are already hit capped against anything level 62 or lower. Noting, of course, that there’s a 1% resist chance you cannot get away from, so hit capped means 99% hit chance when it comes to vanilla spellcasting.
So, the items may or may not be bugged. But, unless the talents are also bugged you shouldn’t need the hit from them anyway for DM farming, which is what you seem to be doing (I doubt you’re AoE’ing anything that is level 63/boss at least).
I checked my logs on warcraftlogs:
- Bartender frostbolt ragnaros resist: 5
- Bartender casts Frostbolt on Ragnaros: 83
So it gives 6% miss where as I didn’t had any +hit items so the result should be around 11%… but it’s very few casts and resists - would need like a 1000 casts or more. Event log for other mages seems odd. 1 miss for a mage with additional +2% hit.
Edit: it’s also listed in spell breakdown, other pull has:
- 1,47% miss at 69 casts (only talents)
- 1,3% miss at 77 casts (+1% hit mage)
- 2,82% miss at 71 casts (only talents)
Hit fixes miss, not resist…you get penetration for that in later expansions
Wrong on multiple accounts. The game says resist for spells whether it’s a miss or a full resist. Also, there is spell penetration in vanilla.

I don’t have that addon you have for extended character stats but i did notice an increase of spells being resisted since last week. (like f/i frostbolts on trash in UBRS, 4 in a row were resisted)
I wasn’t quite sure what caused it, didn’t expect any changes on the server side so i blamed it on maybe a change of gear (without hitchance btw)
Also thought it might have something to do with the tiny change of spec i made but i still have Elemental Precision specced with 3 points.
Then the other mage in my guild noticed the same thing happening so i searched on the forums for maybe similar observations but i did see none.
So i don’t know what is happening here, am i seeing things or has really something changed?
Chromatic dragons are heavily resistant. Are you talking about those?
i really don’t remember, could easily be the case. I did quite a few runs in UBRS but i don’t remember being so much resisted as in that run last week. Then again, 4 in a row resisted changed my focus a bit on what does and doesn’t hit.
I habe the same stat addon, ypu sometimes have to open and close the character tab for it to change. And sometimes a reload ui fixes it.
buggy addon nothing else
