Quote:AFAIK, hunters can't get 100% hit. There is always that 1% chance to miss. For a PvE, raiding hunter, you are looking for 144HR. Which will take you as close to "can't miss" as you can get. But you can still miss. It's a once in a blue moon chance, but it's still there. I am hit capped, and have seen the occasional miss.
If you take a PvE geared hunter into PvP, they won't miss (other than the chance that you can't get rid of) because they have a lot higher HR than your average pvp geared hunter. Of course, they are going to run into a lot of other problems.;)
I've got over 100,000 shots at 142+ hit rating in PvE content without a miss, sure it's possible to get that with a 1% miss rate, but very unlikely. You can get rid of the miss chance. So can melee toons. MS warriors using a 2 hander at 142 hit rating+ will never miss (they may see dodges). Dual wielders need more than that but it can be reached (it's generally not worth it, but you can).
I have experienced lag/server issues that have cause a "failed" shot that some damage meters and for a while WWS would report as a miss. But you can hit cap. You could hit cap pre-TBC as well.
If there were really a 1% miss rate you would see it more than once in a blue moon. What you see as once in a blue moon are what I'm pretty sure are communication bugs.
