At the risk of sounding like Graatch (he he he) I've noticed my tiger form is 'missing' a lot for something with a 60s hit roll. This is especially noticeable against lower-level mobs. Here is a firegiant patroller I was fighting...

I notice this sort of frequency of 'misses' the entire time. So I thought I'd double check with you. Seems very odd for something with such a massive hitroll.
