Melee pvp hit cap?

[Aymus]

sub rogue, 7.04% hit, why in the hell do i keep missing enemy players with abilities? Missing sap and blind is stupid

The hit cap for yellow strikes is 4% for melee, ranged and spells.
However, you always have a 1% chance to miss with any ability or spell in Vanilla/TBC.
Also, make sure you take talents and resistances into account.

Melee abilities are 8%, are they not?

That's PvE, he asked for PvP. However you are correct that it is 8% for PvE. :)

not true at all, its 5% hit for melee in pvp and you always have a 1% chance to resist spells in tbc. the only way you miss specials above 5% hit in pvp is if they're wearing +defense gear or have talents for increased miss chance.

Edit: Did some testing and it seems they have fixed the hit. However it seems certain melee abilities are counted as spells.
