Spell Hit Rating

This section is mainly so Lenina can find these numbers in case he forgets, but it's useful information nonetheless. Added the double effect of elemental precision to frost for Mad's reference.

• Untalented effective hit cap at 70: 202
• 12.6 hit rating = +1% to hit at 70
• Effective hit cap with 3 points in Elemental Precision: 202 - (12.6 * 3) = 164.2 (Fire)
• Effective hit cap with 3 points in Elemental Precision: 202 - (12.6 * 6) = 126.4 (Frost)
• Effective hit cap with 3 points in Elemental Precision and Draenei racial: 202 - (12.6 * 4) = 151.6 (Fire)
• Effective hit cap with 3 points in Elemental Precision and Draenei racial: 202 - (12.6 * 7) = 113.8 (Frost)
