I am compiling a set of data vs dr. boom, lvl 70 vs lvl 68 with 0 hit rating and +5 bow (troll with a gray bow) and as of 10 minutes ago i was at 118 misses for 3118 shots fired which would give a roughly 3.8% chance to miss counting only the weapon skill rating and not the level difference.

Im gonna assume Cheeky verified his theory for higher level mobs but with my results it seems consistent with his 5% base miss rate and 0.24% +hit per weapon skill except the difference noted earlier.

So im going to continue compiling this.
Try the Blasted Lands mob and see if you miss at all. If you are still seeing a 3.65% miss rate then there is definitely something screwy going on with hit%. (Even the miss rate you are seeing seems too high.)

I would assume a Troll would have a 1.4% miss rate (at 0.24% skill vs. defense), or a 2.4% miss rate (1% per level difference, 0.04% per skill vs. defense) using a bow against Dr. Boom.

My numbers have not been verified by me personally. I plan to do so tomorrow, doing the same sort of tests you are. Using both a bow and a gun I'm hoping so see either a 1.2% or 0.2% difference. I figure 4K shots a piece should be enough of a sample size.
