Hit Cap at 85

vs:

Level 85 mob: 5% miss chance

Level 87 mob: 6% miss chance (heroic boss)

Level 88 mob: 8% miss chance (raid boss)

For a hunter at 85 a Hit Rating of 120.109 gives you 1% Hit.

Hit cap for every race excluding Draenei can be reached with a 961 Hit Rating.

Hit cap for Draenei (1% to hit racial bonus) can be reached with an 841 Hit Rating.

A higher hit rating will, in effect, do nothing more for you past 8%/961/841~, and it is recommended that you reforge extra Hit into a more useful stat.

More about Hit Cap and Hit Rating at 85 in 4.0.3.

~The Draenei racial bonus of 1% Hit does not also transfer to your pet as is true for hit rating otherwise. Reforging out of Hit is not recommended, as a Draenei, until the basic Hit Rating of 961 is reached, in this case.

Hunter Hate

"Jealousy. Yes, the green eyed monster that is Envy. The fact that Hunters are so awesome the other classes just have to watch on as we send a beast to rip their faces off while filling them full of arrows/bullets. We dont need no spells. Heals? PAH! I spit on your heals! We have beasts that are willing to give their lives so we may live another day. We work with our pets to bring swift doom to all who would dare oppose us.

If, by some miracle, they manage to kill our pet and come to us, thinking they will beat us into submission, they will find they are mistaken on a level unable to comprehend. We can freeze them, burn them, slow them and even set the snakes of the wild on them through our various traps that only a true hunter can understand. If they fail we can break their leg and make a heroic leap backwards to safety!

Still they come? They laugh in the face of our pet, they laugh at our traps, they laugh at our slows and backleaps. We have but one final weapon up our sleeve. A weapon that no other class can even hope to understand. We can play on their far weaker and feebler minds to impress the illusion that we have died! Yes we can confound and befuddle our enemies into thinking we have slipped off this mortal coil. Of course, a fellow hunter knows different. He knows we are simply fooling them into complacency. For it is then, when they believe they have won... we strike." --Silverfang
