missing on auto attack

[sirmamabe]

I was going after my logs from the last raid and noticed that on just auto attack I was missing the raid mobs allot.  I was wondering if anyone knew how to improve my hit/miss ratio?   I am basically looking for ways to improve my dps, beyond just doing buckler line.  Puffery - Is a troll with fae wings cute?

<p>Basically, I would say that my average ratio is below 50% when my slash skill is below 400. So the basic idea is to get your slash (crush or whatever) skill maxed either with dirge, warden or whoever can help you in your group. But, of course, the easiest way is to stay in off stance as much as possible. I only switch to def stance for the initial clash against named or for large initial impact trash, like the 3 linked vampires courtisans in MIS. But I switch to off stance as soon as the mob is debuffed or one of the linked is down.</p><p>And some guards would even say I'm pretty defensive with such an attitude <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> </p>

The only way to miss less is to increase the skill for the perticular weapon you're using, get master in skill buffs and debuffs (call to seige, desperete charge and obliterate) Armor and jewlery can also increase your skill(s). Chose the ones that will increase what you use, there are adornments too. And then yeah, depending on who you raid with it will be easier/harder (buffers and debuffers will make it easier) .

Warden or stay in offensive is the way to go.  Tough named I usually got a warden with me which helps alot for staying in defensive and still hitting a high %.  If you cant fight offensive alot for whatever reason while raiding only other option to help with that beside skill mods for the certain weapon on your items would be the final ability in the wisdom line.  Taking away the penalities will help a bit to be in defensive and still hit decent but to me that line is a huge waste.

<p>Buffs that will help improve your hit/miss ratio (M1 values shown):</p><p>Dirge  - Dissonant Boon -  Increases Slashing, Crushing, Piercing and Ranged of group members by 28</p><p>Templar - Holy Redoubt - Increases Max Health of target by 964. Increases Crushing, Piercing and Slashing of target by 13.9</p><p>Warden - Primitive Instinct - Increases Crushing, Piercing, Slashing and Ranged of target by 65 </p><p>That's +106.9 to weapon skills. </p>
