Expertise cap?Follow

Taken from the protection warrior guide on the Elitist jerks Forums:

Two things;

For one, the current thinking on boss dodge chance is that it's somewhere between 6.25 and 6.5%. This would make the Expertise cap 25 or 26, which translates into 99 Rating or 103 Rating.

Secondly, bosses also have huge a huge parry chance - even past the dodge cap (softcap), it will reduce parries... which makes it, at worst, better than +hit up until about 11%.

I've been hearing that there's a '1%' hardcap for dodges. However, that was also believed to be true for miss rates for the longest time even thought it wasn't.

My rogues is at 6.75% dodge mitigation right now. I can deal with overcapping by .25%... but overcapping by 1% is a bit much.

I have a hard time believing the cap is at 5.6%... since if it is true, all you need (as a rogue and warrior) is 2 talent points and a Shard of Contempt to be 'undodgeable'.

What are you using to attain 6.25%?

I got 10 from talent (2.25), 11 from Shard of Contempt (2.50) and 6 from the belt of one-hundred deaths (1.5%). Baring going back to Karazhan and hunting Moroes' glove, I'm a bit at a lost as to what I could get to replace the belt and lower my expertise so I'm not that overcapped.

I'm trying to convince some of my rogue guild member that getting some Expertise is good, even if it means losing hits, so the more I actually know about it, the easier it'll be to convince them.

If you want to drop by our melee forum, feel free ;p

T5 gloves, which have a fair amount of hit and complete my T5 set bonus.

While I'm aware that T5 isn't that great and off-set piece (Chest from karathress, pants from kael, etc) actually make for a better 'set', you don't get to pick what boss drops.
