hit cap in patch 3.0.2

[Xixa]

can anyone confirm me the new caster hit cap in patch 3.0.2, is it 9%?

[furydeath]

if i could get onto the servers i would look.

Last I heard it's still a 17% miss rate as normal for spells, but the difference is that you can actually cap it now instead of always having that 1% miss chance. I can't confirm it, though.

i thought i read a blue somewhere saying hit cap was getting lowered for everyone in wotlk (even melee) that's why all caster hit talents got lowered to 3%

[Visceroid]

as far as I remember they only said that hit and defense will be the only 2 cap-able ratings in wotlk. could be wrong tho, was quite some time ago that I read that

from test on beta I would not say that lvl70 hit cap is lower than it is now ^^ the only thing that you'll notice is that you can actually cap caster hit to 0% miss now instead of the always existing 1%.

k thx, i guess i dreamt it, wishful thinking ftl. i really could swear they lowered it, i guess i was wrong

That rumor was floating around for a while early on in beta. I didn't even realize it was just a rumor until fairly recently either.

But yeah, only change to spell hit is that you can now max it and are not always stuck with 1% resist rate.

Yeah. I loaded up to 17% +hit and I havent seen a single miss yet.
