    [Bug] Expertise Cap

    Some guys on Elitist Jerks have done alot of testing and found out Blizzard failed when typing the new expertise cap number in the data. The bugged cap seems to be 5.6% (22.55 expertise, 173 expertise rating) instead of 6.5% (26 expertise, 200 expertise rating).

    This allows you have a lower amount of expertise so you can gear/gem/reforge to another dps-increasing stat.

    Proof is here:
    New expertise Cap

    And I want to point this out specifically from one of the tests:
    0 dodges out of more than 9300 white hits.

    its more a tip than an exploit... it doesnt give you an advantage over other players as they also get the lowered cap...

    I guess it gives you an advantage, because in-game UI will tell you that you are capped at expertise rating 200...

    if you're stacking expertise in pvp you're doing it wrong. this is a pve tip, and I do believe it's an 'exploit' (bug) at least til blizz fixes it.

    This isnt a bug, they changed the value of expertise rating. We're done here. Also 23 to cap.

    Where exactly did you read that, invadertag? If you look at the charactersheet it still says you need 6.5% expertise to be capped vs a raidboss.

    Yeah I've done ~4300 swings myself at 22 expertise before reading this as confirmation.
    26 is indeed the cap at 85 so it's just a tooltip error.

    Can you post some links that actually confirm what you're saying instead of just throwing out random information? 26 expertise grants 6.50% expertise, nomatter if you're level 1, level 80 or level 85. And like always, a mob has 5% chance to dodge + 0.5% for each level it's above you, so no it's not just a tooltip bug, I really don't believe Blizzard intended to change the expertise cap since it has been 6.50% since it was implemented.
    The only thing that changed in patch 4.0.1 was that
    Patch 4.0.1:
    Expertise rating changed from 8.1974973675 to 7.688690185546875 per 1 expertise. Many talents with expertise were removed from game.
    Which means you need 200 expertise rating down from 214 expertise rating (untalented, without racials etc.)
