My autoattack was at 40% hit rate, my 1 CA was at 65%, but the rest was at or near 100% including broodlings acid spray.

So that'd be you did, but you have no idea how to bother reading it. Look at that dark broodling's missed 196 times, and hit 419 times, giving it 419/615 or 68% hit-rate. So glad people understand how to read swarm pet hit-rates.

Yep, no idea how to read that misses are attributed to the pet while hits are to me as I've never cared about my pet's hit rate in the past. There was no way to buff the swarm pets, and they did a good amount of damage, so their hit rate never mattered.

So they have a piss poor 68% hit rate. Next question is; what is the hit rate of other classes lvl 80 swarm pets? Those numbers would help the arguement.

Guess I'll import the log after work and see for myself.

Furnace of Ro: 98.6%
Protofire: 36.5%
Grave Disturbance: 60.3%
Imp Pack: 20.2%
Undead Horde: 68.5%
Undead Tide: 47.8%
Construct of Rationality: 30.8%
Netherbeast: 14% but was a small samle size at 3/21
Acid Storm: 99.2%
Dark Broodlings: 68.1% as was mentioned
Thugs: 44.3% on one set, but the second set didn't show any hits at all zw, so I don't trust those numbers yet. That second set had 273 misses btw.
(Coercer) Puppet: 27.2%
Eerie Avenger: 42.8%
No conj on the raid cuz Onion didn't get flagged.

Broodlings don't look so terrible after that comparison.

I've got the broodlings fixed internally and they will most likely go out as part of the next game update.

I hate to be the nub here... but this isn't the first warlock post i've seen and i just wanna ask how the hell are you guys hitting so much harder? My int is 740ish self buffed (not raiding atm) with 38% proc (w/o potion) again, self buffed. My AVG hits were:

Distortion - 4347
Vaccum Chamber - 550
Aura - 1248
Master's Strike - 3212

These numbers were an instance run, so i realize the mobs were nowhere near as debuffed but still. In some cases the spells were hitting 2x hard as mine. I can post a sshot of act or give my specs if needed. wth?

If you aren't raiding, chances are the mobs you fight aren't fully debuffed. As an example, the highest Distortion crit i've had in a group is around 9k. On a raid, fully debuffed named mob, i've been over 13k.

Debuffs make or break your spell damage, the difference is night and day.

It's all about timing stuff for dispatched but not stoppn spam castn... keep dps rolling, let high hitters run high when big debuffs on... 13k sounds higher than what i've seen, but rolln on lower int and adept 3... Highest Distortion tonight was 10500 in Pawbuster
Highest Overall hit was over 14000 (upheaval) on named in thuuga... the two adds hit at same time got hit for 9953 and 8278 damage cause less debuffs on them overall.
