Realization on Hit Rating.

[Feider]

Yes, I realize that a Draenei mage (frostfire) has a few +hit talents (Heroic Presence:1% and Precision:3%). I was just using it as an example of the difference in hit needed from lvl 82 to lvl 83 mobs. It turns out it's around a 288ish hit rating difference.

Yes there really is.

You need 6% spell hit to have a 100% hit rate vs lvl 82 mobs. You need 17% spell hit against lvl 83 mobs.

As draenai mages already have 4% hit (assuming not arcane here as they have 7%) You only need 2% hit which is 26.23*2 = 52.46 hit rating (rounded up to 53)

vs lvl 83 you would need 13% from gear so 26.23*13 = 341.02 (rounds up to 342)

Yup, that's how I figure also. I'm at work so I cannot link the wowwiki/spellhit page that goes through all the math.
