[Rogue] Hit Mechanics in PVP

Fold · 05/17/07, 3:32 PM

First post here, I've seen several different answers to this question and I'd like to get a definitive answer from the knowledgeable posters here.

In PVP, what is the hit % threshold to avoid "missing" special abilities? I've heard 5%, I've heard 6% to overcome some elusive 1% baseline, and I've heard that it increases with level so the new standard is 7%.

Any information that you can share or sources that you can point me to would be most appreciated, thank you.

edit: thanks Wodin, and the increase above 6% would be useful in situations like the one you mentioned and when opponents have high defense.

6%, but in reality it's more like 12% or so due to annoying talents like the frost mage -hit one.

If I recall correctly 5.6%, but more hit certain doesn't hurt, unlike on 2hander warriors.

79hit, 5% :-)
This is a PVP forum, isnt it? Why ever bother mentioning miss chances that only refer to pve?

5.6 is only against stuff 3 levels higher than you(read:bosses), and sure, that warrior with a big 2h hits like a boss, but he doesnt have level 73 defense skill ;-)

Arctic Winds with 5/5 talent points reduces the chance melee and ranged attacks will hit the mage by 5%.

So if you want to be in a maximal efficiency, 10% would be better.

5% minimum without precision imo. Everything over that helps your white damage only.
Also remember that blind is a ranged attack so it can miss if you don't have 5% from gear.
