I see, thanks for that. But that still brings us up to 15.77*14=220.78, we'll need 221 hit rating to be spell hit capped?

I'm just confused where the 177 (11.22%?) rating came from?

Will it not be 17%cap - 1% always-miss - 3% from Misery(or alike) = 13%, giving us 13*15.77=205.01 thus needing 205 hit rating?

Or did I miss something vital in the hit rating change?
