2. Hit and Expertise

With Hit we have 2 sets of numbers to be aware of.

• 8.0% (246 Rating)
  This allows all our Specials (yellow's) to hit.
  As Fury we need to gather 5.0% (154 Rating) on top of our passive 3% from Precision to reach this cap.
  
• 27% (830 Rating)
  This allows all our normal melee (white) swings to hit.
  As Fury we need to gather 24.0% (738 Rating) on top of our passive 3% from Precision to reach this cap.

With Expertise we have 1 set of numbers to be aware of;
