"Of course", "anyone" and "I" really doesn't take too long to spell out correctly.

I doubt they'll keep it that way, as damage wise maces would be a lot stronger than fists, or other types with this change.

I don't think maces would be overpowered that way. They are going to be a viable PvE choice and clear the way to go for PvP. And ofc it will make Rod of the sun King, the best SS weapon, before Azzinoth maybe?

Anyways on topic now, i used the DPS spreadsheet and just entered -70 skill rating so i reached 0 ( i had 70, talents, shoulderpads of the stranger, Fang of Vashj, which results in 17 weapon skill increase). Then i altered the Buffed DPS tab's Chance to dodge to subtract the 17*0,25% chance to dodge, from MH,OH, and Backstab hit tables. That resulted to a DPS Loss of 20 something.

Ofc I assume that fang of vashj and the shoulderpads of the stranger will have 21 and 10 weapon expertise rating, which i hope it will not be the case. The only thing that can be done, so we dont have a loss of DPS is change the stats of the +weapon skill items to something else more usefull. Can any1 from the PTR check some +weapon skill items and let us know what the new stats (if any) are? The fact is that the Weapon Expertise talent which will give 10 Weapon expertise instead of 10 skill rating got a bit of a nurf.
