I haven't had enough coffee yet today to tell whether the catch rate with 473 is going to improve or get worse under the new system. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/get-aways#post-4975 Tue, 24 Mar 2009 14:23:06 +0000 el 4975@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p><a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/the_role_of_skill_original.html">Before 3.1</a>. <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/the_role_of_skill.html">After 3.1</a>. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/get-aways#post-4965 Tue, 24 Mar 2009 05:36:26 +0000 Talathan 4965@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I've heard that Blizz will be changing the way fishing works in 3.1. This change is supposedly going to change the calculation used to determine get aways.</p> <p>Now, I'm aware that currently it's necessary to have a skill that's 95 higher than the minimum skill required to cast in order to assure that there are no get aways.</p> <p>As I said in a previous post, I spent some time fishing in Grizzly Hills. It has a required skill of 380, and with pole and line I have 473. Granted, it's not the 475 necessary - but awful close. What surprised me was that in about 200 casts I got 18 get aways. That's just under 10%! And I was just 2 skill points away from a guaranteed ZERO.</p> <p>It's not so much that this bothered me (ok, it does... but...), it made me wonder what the current formula that Blizz uses to figure the odds of losing a fish. Does anyone know? </p>
