Special Attack Hit Cap

Abilities & Specials
95 Hit Rating
6% needed from gear
Math breakdown: 9% base -3% Improved Faerie Fire = 6% → 6 × 15.769233 = 95 rating

The listed requirement caps this physical hit profile against the selected target level.

Dual-Wield White Hit Cap

Auto-Attacks
395 Hit Rating
25% needed from gear
Math breakdown: 28% base -3% Improved Faerie Fire = 25% → 25 × 15.769233 = 395 rating

Dual-wield auto-attacks use the white-swing miss table. Hit continues to help white swings, but hard-capping them is usually weaker than other throughput stats.

Expertise Cap (Behind Boss)

Dodge Removal
71 18 Expertise Skill (71 Rating)
6.5% boss dodge cap
Math breakdown: 26 expertise base -8 Weapon Mastery (2/2) = 18 expertise → 18 × 3.942308 = 71 rating

The rear expertise cap removes boss dodge. Attacks from behind cannot be parried; weapon racials apply only with the listed weapon types.

Raid Boss (Level 73 / +3)

Baseline attack and defense gates for the current raid-boss target:

  • Physical Specials & Ranged: 9% base miss (142 rating). Improved Faerie Fire (3%) and Heroic Presence (1%) reduce the gear requirement when active.
  • Dual-Wield Auto-Attacks: 28% base miss (442 rating), including the 19% dual-wield penalty. Specials remain on the 9% table.
  • Spell Attacks: 16% attainable cap (17% base miss with a 1% unavoidable floor; 202 rating). Totem of Wrath covers 3% (38 rating).
  • Expertise: Behind vs Front: 6.5% base dodge from behind (26 expertise = 103 rating); attacks from behind cannot be parried. From the front, that dodge-cap target also reduces 14% base parry to 7.5%; full parry removal takes 56 expertise (221 rating).
  • Tank Critical-Strike Immunity: 5.6% crit reduction needed. The defense-only target is 490 skill (332 rating from gear before talents); resilience can replace crit reduction but not avoidance.
  • Crushing Blows: 102.4% combined miss, dodge, parry, and block. Holy Shield adds 30% block; Shield Block adds 75% while their charges remain.
