Hunters and your hit rating ...

yes hit rating is good but personally (dont know if this right talk to mordos about it) i think if u have a balance of crit ap and hit u r good. like for redeemed we need 1500 ap 20% crit and i belive 6% hit. it all depends on your style cause i have been out damaged big time by people with lower hit then i have. so i believe it depends on your spec. (this could be completely wrong but what im thinking is right)
 
I have a few extra percent spellhit on my mage, and I think that because of it, my damage has gone up (a critical miss still nets 0 damage).

I also think that Hit/weapon skills make a bit of difference. If blizz didn't really want them to be utilized or their benefit fully realized, they wouldn't have put +24 Feral Abilities on Earthwarden (for those wondering, it reduces blocks/dodge/parry by just over 6%). On my druid, I've noticed that if I miss 2 specials in a row in the first 10 seconds of a fight, I can pretty much forget about holding agro. Adding a few percent +hit and +feral attack would all but eliminate all missed opportunities for additional threat. I've got my Def over the needed amount; at this point, i'm juggling extra armor/hp/AP around, without losing too much rage generation.

On a side note with that, Daire noticed that if she changed some of her gear to DPS gear (while not sacrificing her Armor, HP, DEF by changing gems and enchants) she was doing more damage, resulting in more rage, which results in more damage.....meaning lots more threat to go around. yay!

i have 7.23 percent hit rating, im one of the top dps in the guild and it is very important to have 7%+ to hit on raid bosses, i have 1671 AP unbuffed with 20% crit, i find it very good to have a balance of all 4... yes 4, most importan for hunter dps is hit, crit, mana, and attack power, IMO mana is more important than health, buts its very difficult to have more than 7k lol, for since i have2 rogue items im losing mana i would like. plus my wrists dont have much mana. i would like to have lots more mana, so my viper aspect would do more good, 1-4 of 4 intel is equal to 1 mp5, so its really important.
