    Random Imp:DP Misses

    Any else have this problem where sometimes the initial you do when you use DP misses?

    Before anyone asks, im hit capped (10.04%+1% Draenei racial, with obvious misery and shadow focus) so that isnt why it is missing. It seems to even happen while misery is up.

    can't say I have noticed it ever miss, usually see the damage appear as soon as I cast it.

    You're either not hit capped like you claim or you are mistaking full resists with misses.

    My guess is because you are relying on the Draenei racial to be hit capped that that person is dying during an encounter and thus you are losing your 1% to hit.

    I've had that problem as well, I have no idea why as I'm hit capped as well. The initial damage misses but the dot applies.

    Keep in mind that the draenei hit aura has a 30 yard range.
    This can be why you see a miss. If the draenei moves out of range of you during the encounter, you're no longer hit-capped.

    which encounter/s? Spell damage can still be full resisted which is a completely different concept to miss... unfortunetly blizzard decided to use the word resist for both events.

    It's possible the imp DP is not getting the benefit from misery and/or focus? This isn't the first post on the issue... I have not seen it miss myself.

    Re: Random Imp:DP Misses

    I can confirm this is happening. The instant part of improved devouring plague doesn't take into effect heroic presence. It isn't a resist, its a miss.

    That would make sense, hopefully it gets fixed soon.

    Imp DP seems to "bypass' hit cap, i have 293 hit with 3/3 SWing, and i get misses every now and again, i think something similar was posted on SP.com a while ago about it

    Re: Random Imp:DP Misses

    Do you open with Vampiric Touch -> Devouring Plague?

    If yes, it's possible for the Devouring Plague cast to go through before the target is afflicted by Misery, so you're actually 3% below the hit cap.
    It can happen with any other spell, too.

    Didn't they change this not so long ago? Resist says resist and miss says miss now...or am I crazy?!?

    No, you're not imagining it. Imp. DP missing when hit capped is a known bug.

    confirmed, i started a thread on shadowpriest.com during the ptr phase of 3.1, as it misses even on lvl 20 mobs misery seems not to be the reason, i guess bliiz forgot to remove the 1% overall miss that spells used to have back in bc and classic when creating improved dp (maybe they used an old template for creating spells or whatever)

    Re: Random Imp:DP Misses

    It seems very random... i've done entire Uld raids where it misses very seldom and other entire raids where imp DP doesn't miss at all....

    I guess it might just be the luck of RNG but considering the sample size of an entire raid run I find that unlikely.

    It can't be RNG, I have noticed this as well and at the moment I am raiding with about 308 hit rating. With Misery and Shadow Focus it should be impossible for me to miss a spell, but I have noticed it happening with DP, and no other spell.
    I shall die here. Every inch of me shall perish. Every inch, but one. An inch. It is small and it is fragile and it is the only thing in the world worth having. We must never lose it or give it away. We must never let them take it from us.

    You're horde. So no, you're not experiencing this.

    The only reason for you is you failed and putted up Devouring Plague first instead of Vampiric Touch, since the first spell always have a chance to miss due to no misery applied to the target.
