MoP Stat Changes: Hunters Use Expertise

Frostheim at Warcraft Hunters Union: Sorry to interrupt Hunter Poster Friday, but Ghostcrawler has a post up about stat changes in Mists of Pandaria, with some changes that impact hunter — the biggest of which is that hunters ranged attacks will be able to be dodged, and so hunters will want expertise on their gear in MoP.

The post included a lot of minor stat changes, many of them changes that just make a lot of design sense (like spell hit and melee hit will be the same thing — just hit), but only a handful of the changes affect hunters. Here are the relevant hunter stat changes:

  • Hit chance: the hit cap against a boss in MoP will be 7.5% (instead of the current 8%). The hit cap against a same-level creature will be 3% (instead of the current 5%).
  • Bosses will have a 7.5% dodge chance, a 7.5% parry chance (front only) and a 7.5% block chance (front only).
  • Ranged attacks can be dodged. Hunters will benefit from expertise and will want to stack it. Ghostcrawler points out how this means that it will be easier for hunters and enhancement shamans to share gear. This means that we’re going to hate enhancement shaman a lot more now. … Read Full Article.
