Spell hit rating affects
Spell hit rating affects your chances of being resisted/partial resisted on spell damage to mobs. The classes that need to be concerned with hit rating are classes that do DPS, and can have their spells resisted.

Spell hit rating has a major importance because if you are fighting a mob with a level higher than your level you're chance to miss a spell increases. It's just like you would get high on legal bud.
