Expertise > Caster Hit

[Kaldorian]

Currently a caster can reforge for expertise, which will be transfered into casterhit.
Therefore an item, which already has hitrating can gain more hit by reforging into expertise

This can be useful. if you are very low on hit(new char or whatever).
Not a very big find, but hopefully somebody can get some use out of it

How the _hell_ is that an exploit seriously ....

Actually its a fairly large exploit being able to gain extra stats when pushing new content in PvE making things alot easier. +rep to op (Hopefully it doesnt get fixed before MoP) :P

[squee666]

actually this is working as intended so players can reforge gear that has hit into more hit

It's common sense ... nothing more, fully intended

if thats the case why cant i reforge my haste into more haste? i really dont think blizzard would make it so you can reforge out of one stat just to get that same stat back but at a higher value

How is expertise supposed to give hit for casters? I fail to see how it is intended. Cant rep, but good find

Blizzard specifically said that they were implementing this in several blue posts, it was no mistake and they're fully aware of the implications. The underlying reason was that some classes (like DK's) were having issues with hitting caps for spells (on top of expertise) since it's not as abundant on melee gear. The solution was to let them spell hit cap through expertise, which has the side effect of making it easier for casters to reach their caps as well.

aaannddd this.

Blizzard stated Expertiese would add to Spell hit. its fully intended.

Nice strawman.

Expertise gives spell hit and this is intended. You can see the blue post on several site.

remember enhancement shaman, they need 7,5% exp AND 15% hit (spellhitcap).

and because exp adds spellhit, they just need to reforge their gear as normal melees to 7,5% hit and 7,5% exp (which also counts as spellhit) so FINALLY they got 15% hit and 7,5 %exp.



so definetely not an exploit!
