A 20% chance to NEVER miss during the boss fight
A 32.5% chance to miss ONLY ONCE during the boss fight
A 1.6% chance to miss FIVE times during the boss fight
A 0.0005% chance to miss TEN time (yes, the 0′s and decimal are right)
this will equate to higher average dps even if you have one attempt where you miss 5 times you will make up for it + some the other 50 attempts. and most attempts you wont miss anyway.
reforging and stats are meant to bring the highest possible dps average also realize to get to the hit cap alot of times people are over meaning you are wasting alot of stats when you could reforge to something slightly under and gain alot.
