I was all excited to get my new single-target taunt last night for using on 4 horsemen.
Of course, then my taunt was resisted .
What is the hit cap, in rating, for this ability? I think I'll throw together a special set for next time to make sure this doesn't happen. _________________
I believe it works off of spell hit so 17% which works out to 300-400 hit, more than you can sanely get. That's for raid bosses and lvl 83 mobs, for trash you'll likely be capped already. There's talk about the RD glyph affecting HoR in the future (not currently) _________________
Do you mean, Majiben, that the glyph doesn't affect it now (something I'd figured) or that there is no such blue post that it will in the future? I'm just wondering, since I've found 3 references to the blue post now, but still no post .
I did 10 man horsemen the day this taunt came out. And it resisted a lot.
Didn't record exacts but had 5 resists early in the fight then only just 1 during the middle. Out of about 30. 6/30 resists.
It was me and another pally "tank" who is usually ret and he didn't go get the new taunt yet. So basicly it resisted a lot. Thats with about 120 hit. _________________
At 540 Defense, when the tooltip says you have 5.6% chance to be missed, you really have a 4.11%.

oh thank god, someone else is experiencing this. i could not, for the LIFE of me, figure out wth i was screwing up! pulling on trash i had *maybe* one miss...then i go in to 4H10 and i see a chain of resists. i wound up telling my druid partner that i had to use RD to avoid flubbing the swap.
i figured it was going on spell hit, but it's good to see that you guys think so as well
Needs to get changed.
Its no use if we go from a workaround to something that "might sometimes work but isn't reliable". There is no place for unreliable ablilities in tank specs. No raid will take a tank that relies on chance to do the job, its just bad game design. _________________
Why'd they put it on spell hit anyway? All other taunts are off melee/ranged hit.
Oh, I get it, they wanted to give us a penalty for the 100 damage (crit) we can deal with it, that's not on the GCD!!
