Pros dont need hit cap?

[Imonition]

Question:
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...9;Ganis&n=Abni
one of the worlds highest rated mages, and she only have 51 hit rating ( 1.94% ), question is why?
she have haste neck and cloak instead of hit, is haste so good that its worth to take it over hitcap? or wtf? : /
could any mage explain that to me why she rolls with so low hit?

[Bren]

Because she's in pvp gear. You only need 1-2% to be hit capped against other 80s (I forget the exact amount offhand.)

And I'm betting she's one of the highest rated "pvp" mages seeing as her latest achievement was:
2 Lord Marrowgar kills (Icecrown 25 player). May 12, 2010

[hasteorate]

you need 5% on other players
Talents may reduce it.

Edit;
OP is clearly talking about arena rating
No idea why she has such low hit

[Shullski]

sigh. pvp gear

[Doctadrew]

This thread is filled with fail.

[Gungtah]

Interesting indeed, and I believe the melee cap is 5%, no idea about spell hit cap.

[Sub.FBI]

2% from Gear
3% from Talents
= 5% Hitcap for lvl 80 Mobs/Players

[Vongimi]

Guys he knows its pvp gear, but hes wondering why he doesnt have 5% hit for pvp. But notice what spec he is right now, arcane. Look at the top of the arcane tree and you will have your answer.

[Myrland]

To ruin the fun, he's arcane => 6% hit from talents.

[Ano]

She has both arcane focus and precision. That brings the PVP hit cap to 0%.

[Gungtah]

Arcane is arena? Pfffffft maybe.

[VanquishersFate82]

She's hit cap through talents lolololol.

[Imonition]

no, she is frost with 20 points in arcane for the imp. CS and TtW ( im talking about her frost spec! ) and its ONLY for arcane spells, in frost spec = she is 3% under the cap when playing arena in frost ( checked her gear a lot of times, she is using the same haste off-parts not hit when playing with frost ) and she dont have the frost hit talent

[Deleted]

First of all, Abni is a he i think.

Second, he's well known for actually playing arcane in arenas.

My guess is that's his arcane gear, and when speccing frosts, he puts on another hit piece or so. Or perhaps he thinks counterspell hit capped is enough, but i doubt that.

[Ano]

Abni is a she. The person who plays her, however, might be a he

[trancey]

Abni is a dude, that's for sure... he doesn't play any spec other than Arcane in arena, otherwise, if he was frost, he'd probably want more hit from gear. But, you want 5-6% hit AT LEAST in arena... Clutch spell misses are more annoying than anything possible at the top ratings.

[Imonition]

he / she whatever, i checked her gear many times while she had her frost spec "equiped" and neck and cloak, rings, everything was the same, 51 hit rating, just don't get why, i m planning to play frost on my mage, but dont know if i should go for 5% hit cap or the haste parts..

If you're not planning for your abilities to hit your target, you're planning to end the season at 1900. Always hit cap, if abni is below capped he's gear changing or dual specced.

[Imonition]

Fail... pvp gear. You're bad

we r talking about pvp...scroll up clown,and u see its the PvP forum...

[Myrland]

You always go for the hit cap - anything else is just ridicolous. And I'm sure you've just catched him in frost spec with arcane gear.
