Hey,
so I just read this and I really like it. Shares my opinion and its well written. One thing that took my attention is the hit chance. I have different information on that, so please tell me if I am wrong or missing something and proof it.
The human racial, +5 weapon skill to swords and maces actually is like 3% hit. U need 9% against raid bosses, with the racial u only need 6% and with pally precision talent only 3%, which u need to get via equip. This makes a human superior for any dps/prot specc. This goes back to the hit calculation as I found it in some sources.
Equation for hit chance for a difference between defense - weapon skill > 10 is the following:
Miss = 7% + (Defense Skill (315) - Weapon Skill (300) - 10) * 0.4% = 9% for 300 weapon skill against raid bosses.
As soon as the difference between defense and weapon skill changes to less or equal to 10 the equation changes to, to the following:
Miss = 5% + (Defense Skill (315) - Weapon Skill (305)) * 0.1% = 6% for 305 weapon skill against raid bosses.
So basically, 5 weapon skill are a huge increase! Everything afterwards only counts as 0.1%. And getting this as a racial... WTF!
