    Hit rating is overrated for tanking...

    Although there was this one time in Naxx on Four Horseman, I was assigned to pull off one of the bosses as the other tank started the pull. My ranged Faerie Fire missed, and then the backup Taunt missed, and the boss outranged me and wiped the raid. I was only 1% away from the cap, so that double-miss situation shouldn't happen often at all.... but boy was it memorable.
    Cranky old-timer.

    I love how you contradict yourself here.

    This is exactly why tanks should be hit capped.

    You contradict yourself here with your own character Fur.

    171 Hit Rating. I gave you the benefit of the doubt, I thought maybe you don't raid on your tank and its just for heroics. Checking your character feed you seems to do plenty of 10 and 25 man raiding.

    Sure in an ideal world being hit capped would be lovely but its way down the priority list because 99.9% of the time you are so far ahead in threat that if you missed abilities or hell did nothing for 30 seconds your probably not going to have any pull aggro not bringing into account MD or TotT.

    Personally I thought Bolystons story was pretty funny and it made me laugh because I can imagine it happening to me and how I would feel in that oh, shit! raid wiping moment.

    And on-topic I love perving at other tanks and wishing some of those items would drop in the raids I attend rather than eleventy billion pieces of Paladin Healing gear that everyone groans everytime it drops.
