This is also underlined by the item tooltip: 'Use: Attaches a permanent scope to a bow or gun that increases its chance to hit by 3%.' Where the scope has been already changed to work only with ranged attacks. Meaning that we play on a version of wow. WoW Classic is running the last Vanilla Patch 1.12. So, many engineers that had the pattern before they removed it from the loot table got to price gouge all they wanted as many servers only had a handful of people with it. It was also taken out of the loot table for a long while until they fix it for ranged only. It was nerfed to only ranged attacks and made to be a balanced part of the game. This item used to effect melee swings and was one of the most saught after enchantsments by rogues and warriors alike.

While statistically superior, its a situational scope, as stated. Of course, if your gear alone is giving you all or nearly all of the hit you need, then obviously a 28 crit scope will be better FOR YOU in YOUR SITUATION. To further simplify, I'll just say this This is the scope that will grace my Thori'dal.

This scope would put me at a comfortable 136, to which I could add a single Glinting Pyrestone and be at 141 hit, 1 under capped.Īlso keep in mind that hit and crit rating have the same item value/weight, and since last I checked, 30 is more than 28, this scope is superior in the end than the Stabilized Eternium Scope. If you're not doing any amount of serious raiding, then you probably don't care about your hit rating, if you are seriously raiding, even if only T4/5 content, then you shouldn't have a problem with going a little out of your way to improve your gear.Įxample: In my dream end game suit, I'll have 106 hit rating from gear and Glyph of Ferocity, before gems. It's a more flexible way of adding +hit when you need itĪre you serious? Thats the most absurd thing I've ever heard of, that trinket is terrible and anyone should feel bad for using it.

If you really need +30 hit get Romulo's Poison Vial.
