This ring set is AMAZING... 3% chance to hit... 17 dmg/healing... 23 intellect and 10 stam... one of the best I have seen.

a player's magic resist and your chance to hit with spells are affecting two different things. resistances increase your chance to partially resist damage. chance to hit only works against a mob's chance to completely resist a spell. the chance to resist a spell entirely depends only on the level of the caster and the target, not resistances.

if you want to counter people with resist gear, look for items that have the "lowers target's resistances by x" bonus. equal level mobs have a 4% chance to resist spells, so as far as pvp is concerned you'll only need +4% chance to hit with spells.

as far as calculating damage is concerned: if you have double damage on spell crits, count +1% hit like +1% crit (they're not exactly the same, but close). if you don't have double damage on spell crits, +1% chance to hit with spells is better.

for a level 60 player:
level 60 mobs have a 4% resist chance
level 61 mobs have a 5% resist chance
level 62 mobs have a 6% resist chance
level 63 mobs have a 17% resist chance

so with these rings and the +2% hit staff from ZG you'll be in very good shape.

for a warlock i'd always take +hit over +crit (unless i already had a sufficient quantity of +hit). in pvp i cast many spells that can't crit.

for mages and warlocks, +hit gives you a steadier dps. i'd rather have all my spells hit and waste no mana on resisted spells than get two big crits and pull aggro.

freezing band and spell power are sitting in the bank and would be de'd if my mage was my enchanter

Spent 25 dkp on this on Last night!

Also since i've saved up my dkp for the last 5-6 runs or so i got the most and got it ^^

Also got that Epic thingy for Zandalar Illusionist's Robe.

paladin ring set for sure.

It amuses me, mages and locks whine about resists ...yet, apart from MC/BWL Drops there are not really many items which give resists without dropping stats, anyway to my point:
Every other class has to compete with armour, which is much more balanced than blizzards crappy resistance formulas.

This is cool for hunters, we can heal our pet more with +healing gear

Your Flash Heal was resisted by <Main Tank>.

As if?
