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.
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.
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.
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?
