I’m currently having trouble with the hit cap, I’m at it now (Horde side, no space goat help) but it’s costing me a talent point in focused aim and to be frank half my gear is blues and I’ve been noticing there’s not much hit on the naxx 10 epics i’ll be aiming for (look don’t touch, my main is a resto druid and there’s just not enough healers around for me to raid on my hunter . ), in fact there seems to be less in many cases than on my 77 blues. I’d like to see the draenai buff made on the horde side in some way given how much leniency it seems to give you.

Hitting the cap should be a baseline for raiding. If you’re still working on it, then I can understand, but a regular toon, who has access to good gear – just get hit capped. My non-dranei toons aimed to not depend on having one in the run. Its safer.

And moderation be damned, EJ, your attitude is egotistical enough to make me not bother coming back here. Seya BRK..

Regarding hit-cap…

Am I capped? yes. Do I always try to be? yes.

And if you are in current end-game content, it’s not hard to be capped, esp if you are a spacegoat or live near one.

But… do I expect a fresh 80 starting Naxx to be capped? Not really. I do expect them to make an effort to get close, gemming and chanting properly, but I’m not going to expect them to push other stats completely aside to gem and chant just for hit, when the next gear upgrade will change all that.

Or put it this way…

Nax10, not required to be capped, but you should be close.

Maly25 and OS25+2D, you damn well better be capped.

And EJ, I respect your desire that everyone in your raid put forth the same effort as you do. But remember that’s your raid. Others role differently. I personally get miffed when there are truly lazy folks in the raid who aren’t even bringing their B game when it comes to prepping their gear, so I do understand.

Ok, I admit it. I chuckled a bit on the inside.

I have made deliberate and transparent efforts to subvert the new comment moderation policies. I am well aware that I am one of the causes of the new comment policy and knew that I would be one of the first to be moderated.

Even though being moderated would not keep me from participating in discussions and would merely hold my comment up briefly while it was checked for politeness and respect, I felt as though I was above the system. The simple rules of no more insults, no more ridicule and no more elitism do not suit me. So you understand, of course, why I HAD to go around the system.

Not only do I not show respect to fellow commenters and those with differing opinions, goals and strategies, I also show no respect for BRK. He has very few rules, and they all boil down to basic human decency. I cannot handle the adult responsibilities of civilized discussion, and for that reason, all of my comments since the comment policy went into effect will now be removed.

I’m probably not sorry, I probably think I’m the one being wronged, and I’m probably not going to be missed.

Yours sincerely,
The elitisTJerk

“I didn’t say “sacrifice all your crit and AP just not to miss”, I said that it’s your most important stat hands down. ”

I did quote what you said. You are, of course, welcome to scroll backwards to see what you actually wrote.

“Why not both? It’s infinitely easier to tailor your gear than encounter this choice.”

So you will sending me that +1 hit, +100 AGI gem? Thanks.

“Also my philosophy comes directly from classic days where a missed Tranq Shot could and would mean a wipe.”

So what you are saying is that you have an outdated philosophy that being hit-capped is more important than actual DPS?

“Be glad I don’t handle invites.”

Yup, already there.

Thank You Kindly.
