I thought so even though most people treat spell hit like it is a magical jesus stat.
My example was going from T7.5 gloves to iLevel 245 gloves so yeah makes sense.

At that point it's up to you to decide whether 50 more DPS on average is worth the rare but possible chance of getting boned by the RNG. If you're only 1-2% away from the cap, you can fix it easily enough with a couple [Veiled Ametrine]. |
My understanding was as you describe...just increasing or decreasing your changes of getting hosed by RNG for a miss.
Until last night I had a set maxed for DPS around the one billion hit on the Intensity staff...that is a lot to overcome.
Thanks.
