I am gonna get flamed for this but I don't care...
I don't care about hit...at all. I am not giving up Sylvannus for a Pearl Ring, or 40hp and 160 mana for a different belt. I love having high hp and mana, and do great with them.
I put on a cloak, lavishly ring, deviate belt for a couple games and nothing went down any faster and I missed having the extra hp when fighting more than one person, so I went back.
I am not saying that hit is not important, I am saying that giving it up over other great stats just didn't work as well for me.
