spell hit cap not 17%??

[ElAmigo]

hi, i have a druid who is currently at 8.16% spell hit and get an get en extra 6% from Balance of Power and 3% from improved faire fire. unless my math is terrible that is 17.16% hit. now i was under the impression that the spell hit cap was 17% yet when im on the heroic dummy testing out my dps over the span of 5 mins my wrath missed 4 times and starfire once. am i doing something wrong here??

Actually Balance of Power does not give you 6% hit. It's a tooltip error and it still gives only 4% hit.

It would seem that the tooltip is wrong. You can see above, the spell effects are listed:

Effect #1 Apply Aura: Mod Spell Hit Chance (126)
Value: 4
Effect #2 Apply Aura: Mod Dmg % Taken (All)
Value: -6

So it's +4% hit, as it's always been. It's a damned good thing that I checked this out, because I was on the verge of removing a lot of hit rating from my gear.

Bug Fixes

• Balance of Power: Misleading tooltip reworded. The tooltip previously reported an incorrect value for the increased chance to hit with spells. The actual benefit of the talent is unchanged.
