It appears that Taladril is also including the Moonkin findings to the master spreadsheet too. viewtopic.php?f=41&t=18336

It's a work in progress. However this list shows progression which I will not do.

What level mob did you get the hit numbers against, it seems like the value for spell hit is very low. I would also assume it had increased value against boss lvl mobs compared to trash.

[Keftenk]

Uhh..I was using those Dredge Crushers in Silithus. So...what, 58? Aren't all the values going to be low if 1SP:1? So everything else is then reflective of that? I did bring this up..

[Roadkill57]

I think making the values relative are fine, but my point is you are going to need a lot more hit against higher lvl mobs. The hit cap for lvl 60 mobs is like 5-8% but for a boss lvl(63) mob it's 17%. So hit will be worth different amounts depending on the mob

[Keftenk]

Spell Hit cap is 16% since there is always a 1% of getting a miss.
There is absolutely no need to go to 17%, but yes I did mention it here: viewtopic.php?f=41&t=36334#p256326

The longer the fights the better Spell Hit becomes, but as Balance spec we want shorter fights.

I suppose I could test this on the level 63 Mobs directly inside MC, but that would take excruciatingly longer than what I did out in Silithus seeing as I'd have to run out after every cast.

The best way to test it would be to just use Recap on bosses in a raid.

[Taladril]

The amount of hit needed for higher level bosses is definitely higher. But hit is needed to reduce resists even for lower than raid level bosses. Hit isn't magical in that it is especially potent for raid bosses. You just need more than you do for standard dungeon mobs. Because of that I don't expect that numbers will vary if tests were conducted at the raid level.

The good stuff for moonkin would be the cloth abyssal pieces.

Abyssal Cloth Pants of Sorcery should be on the list...

I don't see how those pants should be on the list in any circumstance. Bloodvine Leggings not only give you 1% hit and 37sp, but if you have the set bonus which is 2% crit, breaking it would only make you lose stats.

That is irrelevant - this is not an argument over what's best or optimal, it is a list of gear, ranked in order of effectiveness. There are players who might have some other leg armor at their disposal, and the list will tell them where the armor they have stacks up in relation to others...it is every players' decision what they want to wear, at the end of the day, regardless of your own feelings on the subject.
