Subscribe to the BlogI'm really glad they took hit off of a lot of the gear. Before ICC I was often finding myself passing on 245 gear over my 232, just because it had too much hit and not enough other stats. From what I see, hit is going to be in the jewelry and back pieces, which is the way it should be. Save the optimal slots for stats that will have greater dps output. If you don't have the rings/neck/back to get up to the hit, gem for it. Gemming for hit instead of having it on your gear opens up the possibility for optimal gear setups via gem socket bonuses as well.-Why is it a penny for your thoughts, but you have to put your two cents in? Somebody's making a penny here.A back without parry may help as will non-PvP feet.
I had alts farm to make the 264 crafted ones. Very sexy with big expertise no hit though.
Also get better trinkets. Stam whore trinkets impress the PuGs but well I prefer more useful ones. AED is the tank meta not RED, fix that as well.
The 251 tier legs have big expertise. Not hit, damn. Expertise is hawt though.
Ummm for the hit I can give you 1.52 hit if you give me some expertise or armor. I'm getting my hit from belt and old T9 tier stuff.
So when I swap them out can I have it back?

For much of this xpac I have been drowning in hit, absurdly over the cap in both tank and dps. Now in ICC I suddenly wonder how on earth I'm gonna get any.
I haven't paid attention to hit because I always assumed it would be there, so it took me until yesterday, when I got enough emblems for my third t10 tank piece to realize none of the t10 have hit. If I replace my t9.5 legs I'm gonna lose 74 hit. I've already managed to get below cap and am using +hit food to ensure my taunts don't miss.
Then I started browsing the upgrades available in ICC (which are underwhelming for bears anyway, whole separate QQ thread). It appears that almost none of them have +hit. Which leads me to ask -- how the hell are my fellow bear tanks maintaining their hit now? Gemming? Enchants? Pieces of gear I don't know about? Or 25-mans (which I hate to run)?
