Biznicks 247x128 Accurascope + Melee Hit Confirmed

[Bio-Booster]

Looks like one of these recipes dropped for a horde guild over the weekend, I ended up picking up one on the neutral AH for way more than it was probably worth, to do some testing.

Gotta use all that Dire Maul gold for something, eh?

Respecd out of surefooted, and dropped gear pieces until I had exactly 5% hit, 2% from shoulders/pants, and 3% from the scope on my bow. Spent about 30 minutes attacking lvl 60 mobs in Silithus with my pet tanking, and saw no misses. This was with both a 1h dagger first, and then with a 1h sword, both of which were leveled to 300 skill.

I removed one piece of gear (-1% hit), and saw my first miss within the next two mobs, put the gear back on and once again was unable to miss on the following 10 mobs. Probably racked up a total of about 1,000 swings with 5% hit, with a 1h weapon, with 0 misses.

It looks like this issue has already been posted on the BT

Originally the pattern was introduced, and did apply to melee hit, however the pattern was then removed, and then re-released in 1.10 at which point it only applied to ranged attacks, so I guess unless Nost decides to let a few drop, then remove it, it'll be here to stay, so go wild melee, for at least the next 4 patches.

Great post, melee will rejoice.

I think they'll probably fix it as soon as they can, yes Blizz fixed and reintroduced the item in patch 1.10, but it's obvious that the scope was never intended to give 3% hit to melee.

Question now is if it'll get fixed soon or "soon".

But it did, and this is a blizzlike realm. If they "fix" this they might as well "fix" a whole bunch of other things that nobody wants changed.

They already did: DM North got "fixed" to its 1.9 state, even though we're on 1.5.

Indeed, such as the defense gear nerf "Since we couldn't find good data on many items in the state between patch 1.5 and 1.7 it was decided that the 1.7 defense nerf would be applied now. If the content is too difficult as a result, I am sure the admins would be willing to reconsider this decision."

I've come to learn that the term "Blizzlike" is very loose.

Ya, it's really to bad that they got to it so late, the economy is pretty fucked. Hopefully it recovers quickly.

Or if they'll ban melee who use this. They've done so before (see oil).

[Imbaslap]

wait and see I guess. if melee has the funds to play with it until its changed or fixed. meh.. who cares. what other enchant would melee get for their ranged weapon anyway.
