Elemental precision

Porthos noticed that its changed now to +3 hit and reduce mana cost of fire and frost spells. Anyone else see that in the patch notes? Checked the mage forums and noone seems to have posted anything about it. Kinda fucks up my whole gear set up :x




Gonna have to ditch Snowblind boots for pvp again i think and that makes me a sad panda :(

3 hit is still enough for pvp since the normal miss rate is 4% and even if you get 4 to hit there will be 1 percent chance of missing. they mainly nerfed it because the talent was utterly strong in pve i think.

Thats why i'm not bothered about pvp whatsoever....pve is my problem

do you mean switch to the pvp boots then? coz I see how TD is confused (i am too)

+6 to hit isnt going to cut it in pve anyway, most dungeon mobs are 60+ and the to hit rate going to go to something like 83% for level 63 mobs.

I wear +hit gear if its not a sacrifice of other stats but really dont pay too much attention to it, check out that www.maxdps.com site its a nice guide for you current hit and crit and what items will add more overall to your dps.

@ Wig and TD i meant pvp boots for set bonus, my mistake but would have thought that it was pretty obvious i aint too bothered about +hit in pvp.

They made this change when my mage in TBC was around lvl65 at level 60 i had 32 hit rating which is 4% to hit but at level 69 32 hit rating is only a little over 2% at that rate i was missing alot on level 70 mobs and when your frost nova misses 1 of them your kinda fucked has your frost bolt rank 13 still only hits for a little over 1100 (with +500 damage) with level 70 mobs at 7-8k hp.
