+Hit (feral)
When you are fighting in World of Warcraft you often might see in your combatlog that you missed an attack. This can happen with just your normal (white) attacks or with your special (yellow) attacks. Obviously you want to miss as little as possible or not miss at all. Because a missed attack is an attack that didn't deal any damage at all or incase with the druid, could have made the difference in bearform with bash hitting your enemy or not. In that case it could be a matter of life and death for you ;).

Some information about +Hit:

* any player or mob has a 5% base chance to miss.
* any mob has a 5% base chance each to dodge, parry and block.
* A player hitting a mob with higher defense than the player weaponskill has 0.24% miss chance increase per point difference.
* A player hitting another player, or a mob hitting a player, only gets 0.04% miss chance per point difference.
* +hit and +weaponskill (feralskill) (and some buffs or talents) are the only way to reduce miss chances. Agility does NOT help to hit.
* Miss chance can be dropped to 0%. Feralskill can only reduce what is gained by the higher defense while +hit can reduce it all. Note that it's different from spellmiss (which can't drop below 1%).

For Raids:

* Hence, a player has 8.6% miss chance vs a Boss (level+3, 73 -> 365 defense vs 350 weapon skill, so 3.6% + 5% base)
* 137 Hit Rating covers the 8.6%.
* 58 feralskill rating covers the 3.6%.
* If you had 58 feralskill, you would then only need 79 +hit to cover the other 5%.
* Feralskill not only reduce miss chance, but also dodge, parry and block chance. So when hitting from front (tank) feralskill is better, when hitting from back +hit worth higher.
