Captain America and +hit

[Lieris]

IIRC this spell goes off melee +hit rating but does anyone know how much of this stat you need for it to never miss? Lets assume the Precision talent has been taken.

[Mithos]

If it's going on melee hit then it would be 9% right? If not then theres 17% chance to resist it. I hope it's 9% :p. So with precision, 6%, if you took 3/5 WE as well, 2.9%. 5/5 WE and precision leaves only 2.5% hit to be made up, as you ar enon human.

It MISSES, it can't be blocked or parried. This means it's a PHYSICAL attack, not affected by spelldamage. Much like Aimed Shot or Steady Shot from hunters.

Since we use 1H+Shield for tanking: One-Handed base miss chance.
5% + (0,04 x ((targetlvl x 5) - 350)
versus a boss: 5% + (0,04 x (365 - 350) = 5,6%

HOWEVER! When I have a look at my Avenger's Shield statistics I get a 15-17% miss chance, even with Precision.

So you can assume you need 5,6% to theoretically not-miss AS anymore. Tho don't rely to much on your and my assumtpions.

(2H **Unconfirmed** Base miss chance = 8% (8,6 on bosses))
(DW Base Miss chance = 24% (24,6 on bosses))

WE just got a whole lot more attractive... thank you

Can anyone confirm that WE really does affect the hit rate of AS? That would be huge.

10 Weapon skill means:
+0,5% hit
+1% crit
-0,5% to miss
-1% to be parried
-1% to be dodged

All and all... For melee:
+2% hit versus anything (anything can dodge & be missed)
+3% hit versus anything that call also parry

For ranged, keep in mind: Avenger's Shield can not be parried or dodge, so it's THEORETICALLY +0,5%hit & -0,5% to be missed adding up to +1% hit!

Does this affect Avenger's Shield? It should... But my avenger's shield doesn't seem to hit more often due to the use of Precision & Weapon Expertise. I could be just unlucky, so I can not without a doubt confirm if it does or does not get affected by Precision & WE.

If anyone has done extensive testing or a blue post regarding what affects avenger's shield, I would love to see it as well!

You only get the huge hit bonus of 3/5 WE against a raid boss. For trash it's only .3%.

[Whitewolf]

For some odd reason, I took 5/5 1H Specialization over WE....Oops.
Oh well, I had to respec last night for tonights Gruuls anyways...</3healing.

What are the best gems to socket for +Hit for us tanking? +4Hit&4Agi gems? That's something i've been completely ignoring. o.O

[Lev]

I doubt, that WE will do anything to AS since AS has no weapon type. So only pure +hit could help here.

I'm pretty sure on this because i very rarely noticed misses by pulling with my "The Decapitator" until now (have used it about 30-40 times)... and i have my axes skill at something far far away from 350.

Uhh... 5/5 1h spec >> 5/5 WE.

That's 5% more damage from everything you do while you have a 1h weapon equipped. AS, HS, BoSanc, etc. Not JUST white damage or seal damage with a 1h weapon.

versus a boss: 5% + (0,04 x (365 - 350) = 5,6%[/i]

Incorrect. Base miss chances with 350 weapon skill are thus:

v. Level 70: 5.00%
v. Level 71: 5.50%
v. Level 72: 6.00%
v. Level 73: 9.00%
