Affliction: Tolerance at undercapping Hitrating

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

latley i started to use calculations via "Ask Mr. Robot" and currently im sitting on the following statistics with some weird combinations of reforge and gemming (check signature for armory-link):

  • Haste 32,34% (13744)
  • Mastery 88,27% (12285)
  • Hit 14,71% (3562)
I think my dps is pretty good . I just wan't to be sure that i'm not missing anything and this place was always the best to get other opinions.
 
What do you think is the last acceptable rating for hit in terms of undercapping? Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions! smile.png

Hit rating is a personal preference on how much you allow yourself to be under.  For Affliction, once a DoT sticks, it's there.  Same with Malefic Grasp and Drain Soul, so missing is a bit diminished for Affliction.  I, personally, loathe missing.  I hate it beyond hating it and so I protect myself from missing.  I'm at 15.07% Hit right now and that's within my +0.10% threshold.  I played at 14.98% until I got my gloves and it drove me insane even though mathematically, the chances of a miss were nowhere close to expected.

 

For you, at 14.71% hit, if you were to toss out 10,000 spells, you'd miss 290.  Considering most fights you might toss out 500-600 spells, you're looking at 13-16 misses.  You have an opportunity gain, however, in that the extra Haste and Mastery you have in place of the Hit will make up for some misses.  This is where you have to decide your comfort level.  Nothing would irritate me more than having my first Haunt miss...

 

For me, my acceptable range is 14.95%-15.10%.  15.00% always feels awesome, but it's unreasonable to get within that.  14.95% is 25 rating under and 15.10% is 50 rating over.  I give myself a 75 rating cushion.

Another factor to consider is how much missing a soul swap effects your dps. If you're like me, you soul swap assuming all your dots hit the target, but when under hit cap it effects all your dots individually. For example, target A has all your dots on it, when you soul swap to target B the corruption and UA may make it on to your target, but your Agony might miss. For this reason, I will never be under hit cap because I probably wouldn't notice the misses.

Also missing Haunt just sucks all kinds of things.

It was a general idea to not hit cap back in 5.0 because the stats you gave up were too great.  Great players just reacted better and could compensate for missing.  Now, the secondary stat budget is high enough that hit capping removes that concern and is a quality of life and performance boost all around.  You just have to decide if you're ok being slightly under or slightly above.  Some people like to play slightly below because they feel the overload is 'wasted.'  My argument is how much is my .07% over REALLY affecting my DPS?  I'm a more safe than sorry kinda guy...some play a little more dangerously.  No right or wrong answer...it's just how you adapt to it.

Thanks guys. I guess i let go of around 200 mastery and reforge to 15.01% hit or something. It's not that im gaining a insane dps boots from it anyways. biggrin.png I hated the idea of beign undercapped too but i wanted to give try it. There are so many things to focus on with the new content, so it is better to get rid of watching missed spells no matter how low the chance might be.

      About Us
      Skunkworks is a guild for players who can not or do not want to commit to the time-intensive raid schedules of traditional "hardcore" guilds.
      However, we still maintain a high caliber player environment and make an efficient use of our raiding time.
      We raid Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:00 - 11:00 PST, just 8 hours a week and never more.
       
      We are very protective of our guild environment and selective in recruitment. We are looking for solid players mechanically as well as intellectually.
      We all get paid to deal with idiots, why should we pay to spend our leisure time with them as well?
       
      Skunkworks has been around for multiple expansions and has historically always been at the top of the 2-night raiding guild scene.

      All applications will be reviewed and considered however if you are playing a class/spec combination we need then your chances of joining will be higher.
      A little bit of info about us:
      We are a group of friends and serious raiders on EU Twisting Nether looking to recruit skilled like-minded players into our roster for Mythic Legion raids and onwards. We will offer a sociable and fun raiding environment while maintaining a strong desire for progression. Our Discord is very active and we encourage all members to chat and play together not only for raids. The guild formed late March 2016 and fully cleared 13/13 Mythic Hellfire Citadel pre nerf shortly after. We've since been improving our world ranking every tier.
      We currently raid 3 days per week on Mythic: Wednesday, Sunday and Tuesday 19:15-22:15 server time. While it is not a lot we try to make the most out of our time. We run optional heroic/normal/alt/previous tier raids during off days in which raiders are welcome to come to. Our members also play other games outside raid times together where anyone is welcome to join(LoL, PUBG, HotS, Overwatch etc.).
      Our loot system for Mythic is RC Loot Council.
      What we expect from you:
      - We are a raiding guild with only a 9 hour per week schedule so you are expected to attend and be ON TIME! However we understand things can come up sometimes but please let us know.
      - Be able to speak and understand the English language and not be afraid to communicate with other members during raids.
      - Actively doing dungeons/world quests to improve your gear and artifact weapon.
      - Have a strong understanding of the current raid tier and be able to play your class to it's potential.
      - Always come to raids prepared(i.e. bringing food and potions, etc).
      - Come fully gemmed and enchanted with the correct stats for your class and spec.
      - Access to Discord and a working microphone.
      - Have a computer that can handle 20 man raiding and a good, stable internet connection.
      - Exorsus Raid Tools, Weakauras2 and RC Loot Council addons installed. We may ask you to install others.

      Hey guys,
      I'm new to playing affliction lock and ranged DPS in general really. Can someone help me see why my DPS isn't where it should be? I've changed my stats around and have been playing with my legendaries and rotation but I can't seem to improve. If someone has some ideas it would be much appreciated.
