It has been verified many times that miss chance does not have a minimum value; you can eliminate misses completely.

Now I am confused. (Actually I am frequently confused, but now more so than normal.) I looked up miss chance on wowwiki. Unfortunately for some reason I can't insert the link, but the URL is:

http://www.wowwiki.com/Miss

According to the article: "Player/Mob vs Player When a player or mob attacks a player, the base miss rate is 5%. For each point of the defender's defense skill over the attacker's attack rating, the base miss rate increases by 0.04%. For each point of the attacker's attack rating over the defender's defense skill, the base miss rate decreases by 0.02%."

If the information is correct as well as my math, then assuming a defender's defense skill of 350, the attacker (using a single weapon) would need an attack rating of 700 to never miss: 350 + (5/0.02). How do hit rating and/or expertise or anything else affect attack rating?
