    However, even with ICC25 Heroic gear it is impossible to get 145% hit so you can't remove misses altogether. The way to get a better hit vs miss ratio is to actually gem your gear with Spell Penetration.

    Lot of people say Spell Penetration is for PvP only, but those people have no idea that bosses have spell resist as well. So you need to try for a balance of gemmed and enchanted Spell Penetration and Hit rating. Around 50:50 is perfect.

    Also, make sure you are casting spells from behind. If you are in front of the target you will find that the enemy can see the Arcane Missiles or Arcane Barrages coming and will attempt to dodge them. The Expertise stat CAN remove these spell dodges, HOWEVER DO NOT gem or enchant for Expertise, as this will cause you to lose hit or spell penetration and you will start missing more from behind the target.

    On the topic of hit rating though. I sometimes miss. I am hit capped, but I still sometimes miss.

    Did I read somewhere that even at the hit cap, you still have a 1% chance to miss? So at any hit rating, even 100% you STILL have a 1% chance to miss a level 83 mob?

    Back in BC it was that way, but not anymore. Your target either had an extra ability to avoid spells, or You lost a buff that was keeping you at hit cap. (Boomkin/Shadow Priest)

    if no, then get it. have a few fights and see what the breakdown of your damage is. Each spell should tell you how many hits and misses and glancing blows you make, thats a good indication of how much hit you need to gem and enchant more. If you find (and I suspect you will) that there are no misses and that every spell hits then you may start geming spellpower and haste for the extra boom.
    Lol, range does have glancing blows. Ranged attacks can only miss or be absorbed. Can show up as "block" do to certain CDs but can not be dodged, blocked or parried like a melee attack can.

    For goodness sakes people, reading comprehension is failing:

    The original poster wrote "What pieces of gear do you guys recommend for reaching 100% hit?"

    WoW is all about players setting themselves personal goals and going for them. Clearly, this particular player's goal is to reach 100% hit rating on the character sheet.

    NOT hitcap, or 100% chance to hit bosses. +100% DISPLAYED hit rating. In no way did the OP state wanting to be hit capped for raids.

    So does anyone know some better items available outside of heroic ICC that can help me with my dilemma?
    it is safe to assume you are already going to be hitcapped for level 88 bosses with that much rating.
    ~Anyhow if you need help finding hit items, go on wowhead.com and access the item database there. select the armor/item type you want, and create a filter saying 'has hit rating > 40, then filter the results by item level.

    I don't think you can go higher than this (58.95%). I can be wrong BS&JC required.

    yeah, thanks for that... my point is that I wanted OP to look at recount to see for himself that he doesn't need 100% hit, not be told as he does not seem to believe anybody (in which case, why ask a public forum advice? But that's another question, for another thread)

    Its also possible that the poster below you is totally correct that it has nothing to do with being "raid capped" that he just wants to get 100% hit, however from the op's postings I doubt that this is the case.

    Thanks for that. I'm a Shadow Priest So with Shadow Focus and Misery, I am always at 17%. It doesn't happen often. Very rarely. But reason for concern none-the-less. Deeps is deeps

    I'm sure raid bosses are easier to hit - they're much bigger than other mobs after all?

    If the op is worried about hitting level 85 mobs in cata maybe he should grind the bigger ones?

    You make a good point. Though I would prob take of your helm too. Flowing cloth on your helm is definately gonna impair your vision, increasing your chance to miss too.

    Empty your bags, carrying all that weight around with you is going to tire you quickly.

    Just a couple hints.
