Low-level characters have an inherent called "Beginner's Luck" which increases accuracy at low levels. This slowly fades as you level up until at level 20 it's completely gone. At DO-levels, you should be slotting some accuracy enhancements in order to compensate for this loss, and by the time you get SOs, you should be back at 95% accuracy easily.

Also, it depends on what enemies you're fighting. Some of them have defensive bonuses, so your chance to hit them will be lower, and some of them will debuff your to-hit chance (CoT ghosts and Tsoo Sorcerers, in particular) and actually will make you miss a lot of the time. Also, your chance to hit higher level mobs is lower, so if you're fighting level 17 or 18 mobs you will miss more.|

Be sure to slot at least one DO accuracy enhancement in your attacks as soon as you can, and then upgrade to at least one SO accuracy when you can. I generally try to get at least 45% to 65% accuracy in my attacks from enhancements, and I almost always have IO set accuracy bonuses. Building your character this way generally means you will hit 95% of the time, except for the cases mentioned above.
ooo thanks for that will sort it out, i understand higher level mobs will reduce my Chance to hit which is why i play -1 my level :P im a wimp, is there any way to see my overall chance to hit % and not just for individual spells?

Fighting even level enemies, most attacks have a 75% chance of hitting. Going down to -1s, this should increase to about 85% or so. Slotting a single DO should have you capped at 95% chance to hit -1s.
Edit -> Actual math:
If you're one level above the enemy, your powers are 1.11 times more accurate. .75 * 1.11 = 83.25. An even -level DO is approximately an 16.67% increase. 83.25 * 1.1667 = 97%, which is over the cap of 95%.

As others have said make sure you slot accuracy in your attacks. I find that one SO ~40% of accuracy is enough.
To check what where you are at click Powers > Combat Attributes. Under general find the last to hit chance and right click it and monitor it. Watch that number and make sure it is at or close to 95% most of the time.
If you slot IO sets watch for accuracy bonues and slot some of those to help. The Kismet +6 To Hit is also a easy way to boost your chance to hit. If that doesn't work Tactics under the Leadership pool can help but carries a big endurance hit so make sure you can slot it or withstand the hit.
As was mentioned you can monitor your "last chance to hit" percentage.
If it wasn't made clear how to do that, you'll find it in the Combat Attributes window under "Base" settings. You'll find the Combat Attributes window at the top edge of your power tab. Click on Combat Attributes, open up the Base section and right-click on "Last Chance to Hit". It should give you an option to monitor those numbers. The new window it opens can be dragged around the screen to a spot out of the way.
