Default Rhythm Blade and Hit Rate

My melee hit rate is around 80% with or without Rhythm Blade. I would have expected the hit rate to increase with the increase in Slash and Pierce skills, but it seems to make no difference. I remember a while back a brig showing me how the melee hit rates were all broken, but I cant remember the details, and anyhow, would expect them to have been fixed by now. Anyone noticing anything different? I have been meaning to post something about this for ages, but after lurking anonymously (not posting) for ages on these boards I have not long registered.

Context is important here . . . what mobs are you fighting . . . who is in your group . . . is it a raid mob . . . has it been debuffed . . . it's very hard to comment without knowing the context which yielded your results.

OK, to clarify, I only really raid, so raid zones orange and yellow x4 mobs.


My question is: Are the Melee hit rates borked? It doesnt seem to matter whether I am buffed or not to my melee autoattack hit rates. I can assume that everything else is equal, as I have been noticing this over a long period of time. Groups are generally the same, usual raid troub groups.

There's no way you're hitting 80% on yellows without Rhythm Blade.

Yup ur right, I just checked a random VP log. is 72% hit rate - without RB.

So you are saying that RB works, and the hit rate increases?

Edit. Nvm, Im going to check the parses a bit more thoroughly, and have a bit of a play around with different AA specs, will post back.

It makes a difference and always did.

The only time it used to not make a difference was before the melee hit rate changes on lvl 87+ mobs, maybe 86 mobs also.
