Hit

Gonna just make this the Hit thread (for all classes, post relevant info here):

As a Rogue:

No Precision:

Mob Level	Specials	White	Poison
80	164	787	105
81	181	804	132
82	197	820	158
83+	296	919	446

5/5 Precision:

Mob Level	Specials	White	Poison
80	0	623	0
81	17	640	0
82	33	656	27
83+	132	755	315

That said, our current top DPS spec is HaT, in which you'll do near 60% dps with specials, and only around 25% dps with auto attacks, meaning once you've reached the special hit cap, it becomes a very bad stat compared to AP and crit.

The best HaT spec uses only 3/5 precision, meaning you need 198 hit rating to stay special hit capped. Past that, go for AP, Crit, Expertise. Haste is in the same boat as hit, as it only affects white hits.

For druids:

haha when i asked for these forums it was because i did some research into hit cap for druids and wanted to post the info ~

so with blizzard taking away the 99% hit cap, as cloud said it's now 17%.

3% from spriest's misery (which increases their dps).
3% from moonkin's IFF (which is bad for me to have to spec into).

for all intensive purposes, you can really only count on misery and your class-specific +hit talents since spec'n IFF takes giving up a lot comparatively with other talents and in dps. as i'm a druid, i'll be knocking those numbers. we get 4% from talents.

this effectively takes the 17%-7%=10% needed in gear. 26*0.1 = 260 hit rating.

this can be obtained pre-raids with a few select pieces:

73 from Mark of the War Prisoner (trinket) - http://www.wowhead.com/?item=37873
51 from The Prospector's Prize (ring) - http://www.wowhead.com/?item=37651
25 from Encircling Burnished Gold Chains (neck) - http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40680
39 from Telestra's Journal (offhand) - http://www.wowhead.com/?item=37134
29 from Cape of Seething Steam (back) - http://www.wowhead.com/?item=36983
24 from Voodoo Signet (ring) - http://www.wowhead.com/?item=43177
20 from [Enchant Gloves - Precision]
12 from [Enchant Boots - Icewalker]

with those items, puts you at 264 hit rating. there are other options but at least this least shows that it's entirely possible and should be expected, if not already, soon in raids of all the caster dps. there are some sweet +hit pieces early nax as well (trinket, etc). hit rocks all other stats until its capped. at least picking up the easily obtainable retarded high hit items would be worth it while your gear is in transition phases to always have hit capped (the 73 hit trinket and the 51 hit ring).

40 badges - [Plush Sash of Guzbah] socketted and extra socket socket with buckle = 69 hit for casters.
