This a a bit frustrating, and not very interesting... like a race with no turns, but pedal to the metal all the way... Anything that makes things less random and, above all less boring, is welcome.

I see what they're doing, but I don't agree with it. I'll be very interested in learning how my healers deal with this, as reactions I meet are pretty mixed, especially from the druid camp.

Considering the description of hit is "increases your chance to hit a target of level 80 by x%", i've always been meaning to (but too lazy to actually bother) to see if I actually have a 17% chance to be resisted on a +3 level or if i just need the equivilent of 17% gear against my own level to not miss a boss at +3 levels. Pretty sure the mischance of 17% is correct i've just always thought it was rather odd wording.

Insane spike damage is simply a royal pain. Oh, and I'm sure they'll figure out a way of working around the need for this in future expansions. I think it’s fantastic.
