In a technically wrong sense of the word, yes expertise is interpolated, in that every point of rating decreases your avoidance chance, even if it doesn't increase the Expertise number. However, how adding 4 of any stat is decreasing DPS is completely beyond my ken, so I think you must be making a simple mistake. Your Armory link is broken.

Spell Penetration.

Rogues wear leather with Agility and Attack Power. Some of the other stats on that leather are fantastic for us (ArP for Combat), some are merely pretty good for us (Haste, Hit, Crit), and some we only want a little of, or would rather have than nothing, (Expertise, ArP for Mutilate). None of these stats isn't a DPS increase if you aren't capped though. They're all our stats. A piece isn't 'off-spec' just because it's not best in slot, unless you're trying to deal with complicated loot rules. And if you're trying to sideways ask about that, well, as Sarvius pointed out, this isn't the place.

Hello EJ, that's my 1st post here please don't burn me

I m wondering about Mace Specialization - Spell - World of Warcraft work. Problem is simple, when i swiching mace with axe i don't see any change in ARP on my [Character Info], still have latest % of ARP. How this talent works? It's additional ignore of Armor? Talent is ignoring additional 15% ARP - not adding additional 15% ARP to my stats? I think im messing with my thinkig here, can u clear my vision about it?

Enhancement Shaman.

I'm interested in Hit Rating and how it helps/boosts the Crit Cap, as well as what the Crit Cap is at normal Hit soft cap, 367. Where can I find this out? I have seen multiple posts on this Crit Cap, however never any hard numbers or formulas. What am i missing to figure out how these two scale?
Any hints or tips would be much appreciated
=)

Hi there,

just like the 10% ARP gained from battle-stance the ARP granted by Mace specc is not displayed in your character info; simple as that.

Thank you both. I didnt want to play with thing and figured it was best to leave to the professionals. I should have seen the ammo dropped...my bad.

Thanx anyway.

Hi im new to Warrior class and all the math isnt helping when ur new to a class...i know read and try to understand.
I have a simple question but the answer may not be simple.
Is there a certain number of ARP u need to reach before its even any reason to gem for ARP instead of STR when it cmoes to DPS for eg Fury warrior or any warrior.

Regards Dive

Hi,
i played for some months as a protection paladin , i have correct stuff but i was wandering about the hit cap and expertise cap. I know hit cap is of the upmost importance for ret paladin but for protection paladin what is the good value ? since reach the hit cap for a protection paladin seems very difficult without sacrificing many many endurance points or defense points or anything else which is important for tanking.

Expertise is easy to reach with the glyph so my question is more about the hit rating.

Infuria · 08/25/10, 2:19 PM

Please remove this post. My questions here have been answered elsewhere, regarding priority queues on the EnhSim sheet. Thank you and please accept my apologies.

crittage · 08/25/10, 2:29 PM

Hit Rating|217 (14.27%)

Is this hit rating a little low even for arcane?

Infuria · 08/25/10, 3:17 PM

Regarding the EnhSim file "config.txt"

"Use SR as soon as available" in the Combat Parameters tab is not checked on the config.txt.

Also:

The priority Queue seems out of balance. The standard list from the config.txt consists of:

SW
SR
SS_0
MW5_LB
LS
FE
MT
FS
ES
SS
FN
LL

However, if you implement the priority queue from: [Enhancement] BiS gear and set-up discussion (3.3 and onward)

MW5_LB
FS
SS_0
LS_0
FE
MT_0
SW
SR
ES
SS
LL
FN
MT
LS

An increase in DPS ensues if both of the above points are altered after importing config.txt. Furthermore, a Talent scheme of Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft sims higher after the above changes as well.
