Expetise/Hit

How much Expertise and Hit Rating do I need to cap? Sorry. : ???

[Soulbender]

263 / 21 ? has it changed?

[Azharok]

I'm pretty sure it's 263/26 (230/26 if you are Ally and have a squid)

230/23
if you are human with a mace or sword and with a draenei

Bottom line is that OP did not specify which faction / race he plays, so we are unable to answer accurately to his question.

hit caps :

• 263 hit rating (+8%) for (melee/ranged) physical abilities
• 446 hit rating (+17%) for spell abilities

expertise soft cap :

• 214 expertise rating (26 expertise)

racial modifiers :

• Heroic Presence lowers the hit caps by 1% (to 7/16%, i.e. 230/419 hit rating), if a draenai is present in the group (party/raid)
• Mace Specialization lowers the expertise soft cap for dwarves that have a 1H/2H mace equipped to 173 expertise rating (21 expertise)
• Sword Specialization/Mace Specialization lowers the expertise soft cap for humans that have a 1H/2H sword/mace equipped to 190 expertise rating (23 expertise)

group debuffs :

• Improved Faerie Fire/Misery lower the spell hit cap by 3% (to 14%, i.e. 368 hit rating)

physical hit cap affects :
- autoattacks
- seals*
- judgements
- strikes (CS/DS)
- prot-specific abilities (AS, ShoR, HotR)
- hammer of wrath

spell hit cap affects :
- exorcism
- holy wrath
- holy shock
- holy shield
- first tick of consecration (subsequent ticks cannot miss**)

expertise soft cap affects :
- autoattacks
- seals***
- strikes (CS/DS)
- hammer of the righteous


* SoV/SoCorr put a corresponding DoT (Holy Vengeance/Blood Corruption) on the target; whilst the application itself uses the physical hit table, the ticks of the said DoT effects use the spell hit table
** they can, however, be fully resisted (or absorbed)
*** ret-specific seals (SoM/SoB) can be parried or dodged, prot-specific seals (SoV/SoCorr) cannot


note on judgements (for the giggles) : they are heavily modded melee abilities that...
A. have non-physical damage components
B. work as ranged physical abilities (they have an effective range greater than 5 yds, they cannot be parried or dodged)
C. work as spell abilities (they cannot be cast while being silenced)

That was way too much work put into a post for an OP that was too lazy to go look up the other 236872896789617 posts with the same question/answer.
But good post though

Parium I liked your sig and tried to go to arena-armory.com where it looks like your sig was from and all of my security software (including, even, my browser itself) started freaking out because of malware java files (*.js files) that were embedded in the site and tried running on my computer. If that's really the site you got it from, your computer might have malware on it.
