Comments on: What’s the Hit Cap? http://www.tankingtips.com/2008/01/22/whats-the-hit-cap/ A guide to tanking as a warrior in world of warcraft Mon, 13 Oct 2008 13:50:07 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2 By: Dental Dam http://www.tankingtips.com/2008/01/22/whats-the-hit-cap/#comment-2775 Dental Dam Wed, 18 Jun 2008 13:26:41 +0000 http://www.tankingtips.com/2008/01/22/whats-the-hit-cap/#comment-2775 I have never been resisted for taunt or challenge shout since I've reached the hit cap of 142. and 26 I believe is the expertise "cap" for dodge, it's significantly higher to bump parry off.

I think I was focusing on the smaller picture of threat and forgot that there are more factors that contribute. little late, but thx for the clarification vene.

Granted, I trust myself with interrupts more than other players, I wouldn't want to be the sole person interrupting. I had part of my post cut short & didn't get to express that I was merely clarifying against a sarcasmic joke. I was joking about was this time I didn't interrupt a spell & it caused the rogue to die. He wouldn't have died if he had kicked. I hope this hasn't led to much confusion, =) btw, I totally agree the tank should be Bashing Caribdis! @Ivanstone:

A good example is tanking Caribdis. Generally, we run with a rogue and mage supporting the tank but you simply cannot solely rely on others on a job that you can do yourself. Sure the rogue is better at it but latency and other distractions may inhibit him from doing his job. The best thing it to tune up your hit rating and help. In a non-raid setting its quite possible that the tank is the only interrupt in the group. @Arideni:

Your Main Tank's threat can be affected by the abilities he uses, his spec as well as many other statistical values including Attack Power, Crit Chance, Block Value, etc. Even in a perfect world where all other factors could be removed from the equation the reality is that Hit Rating is just a percentage. His 48 HR as opposed to your 30 HR really just means that over the course of a very, very long fight that 1.14% of the time he'll hit when you miss, but that doesn't mean there won't be plenty of shorter length encounters where you Hit and he Misses. So cut your MT some slack, the game is just a little random at times :) @Hao:

He should have no problem holding aggro over me. so if that is the case… i’m kinda wondering why i steal aggro from teh main tank in moroes with me having a HR of 30 as opposed to him having a HR of 48.

While casting you cannot block, dodge or parry but an attack may still miss so Hit Rating is essential for reliable spell interruption.
