Quick Hit Rating Question….
So we all know that in the up-coming Expansion, Wrath of the Lich King, that Precision is gone.
Dead.
No more.
Extinct.
So what does that mean? I notice that Rogues and Warriors still have Hit Rating talents in their trees….?
Will we just have to find 142 Hit rating from gear/buffs? (that’s if the current caps will still
Or did I miss something with regards to Hit Rating gear in the expansion?
I know Spell Hit and Melee Hit are being rolled into one stat….will this mean gear will cater to our needs?
An interesting question that I hope someone can help me with, because I can’t find anything else about it anywhere.

So far as I know, hit rating will be scaling down again so you’ll need more per 1% chance. However, it will probably remain the same 9% as before. You’ll need more than 142, but it should still be 9% unless they’re changing something else about the way the attack table works.
Mostly this just means we should expect to be socketing things a bit differently.

I think they are pretty much taking +Hit out of talents. There are still talents in Warrior and Rogue but you will notice they are targeted at duel-wielding. The warrior version is deep in fury and there just aren’t many rogues with two-handers
Since the hit cap is so much higher for duel-wielders I can see why these talents would need to exist.
I for one am fine with this change. The precision talents are great but if you gear yourself correctly you can do without them.
Hit rating is also going to be great for us in the expansion Not only is it going to cut down on our melee misses. It will also help our spells (HoJ) land.

I suppose 142 Hit rating isnt a huge problem for me at the moment, as in theory i could drop Precision and use the 8 points elsewhere, but at the moment there’s no need to do that, and I’d have to use older gear.
Thanks for answering that for me guys!

\o/ I have a fury warrior(70) and a rogue(52), and have no idea whats going to happen in terms of nerfs and buffs in wotlk – also trying to figure out, why do i have 2 dual wielding melee classes…
I have 2 70′s (geared to go up to kara only), should I start gearing them up or will it all be a waste when new expansion comes out? I was thinking of stock piling gold for expansion rather than gearing.
Also, just wanted to drop by and say hi to fellow wow player/blogger. /hi
