Demo..Hit vs Crit the final word
I play a demo lock and have been my entire wow life..I am geared decently and raid weekly..my question is this, for demo raiding which is better Hit or Crit? I raid with destro and aff locks and while I do ok on the meters..locks with much less gear than me tend to out dps me on boss fights..I was hit capped at one point then started doin research on E.J. and read that Demo should spec crit...after the respec it didnt seem to affect my personal dps or raid dps any differently....whats the final word on Hit vs Crtit for Demo locks? |

Also, I dont know what EJ thread you read, but the EJ thread on stat scaling still has hit > crit. This is true for all specs in PVE. There are scaling factors. Of course, at some point having 100 crit would be better than gaining 10 hit, but overall, 10 hit > 10 crit. Just search for the simulation thread on the EJ forum for the actual scale factor(s). It's usually updated there more frequently than the PVE compendium |

Re: Demo..Hit vs Crit the final word
Hit is important to till capped. What does hit do? Hit allows you not to miss a target. What is the cap? Cap is 17% and there are several ways to get there. 3 points in suppression adds 3% a shadow priest buff or a boomkin's fairyfire buff on the boss will add 3%, a draenie in your group will add 1%. At times you will find me as low as 10% and as high 14% to reach hit cap. Crit is a good stat, but Haste is better and more efficient to gear for then crit. I recommend trying to get to 500 haste and around 25 crit as a destro lock. Since I can not see your armory link it is hard for me to make any gear suggestion. Odo |

Re: Demo..Hit vs Crit the final word
as said above, make your head straight :O you can mess with haste and crit, but not with hit. for anything to have value you need to be hit capped. here's is the hit guide in the den What's the Hit cap Mr. Wolf?
