If you want TPS, there's no reason not to have 6.5%. If you're worried about parry gibs, you can go right up to cap. (something over 11.5%) If you're not worried about threat, or hasted parries, expertise doesn't matter much at all. Depends on the encounter. If you want TPS, there’s no reason not to have 6.5%.

The SSO armory is opening on my server in a few days and there will be a lot of gear available with large amounts of exp on it. With just 21 Expertise (43 expertise rating) i do not see any dodges / parries from trash but do have some on bosses. How high have people taken their exp? Normally when i get new gear i make it into a set, pop on recount and see what comes out but I really want to avoid spending badges on something only to find i am stacking it pointlessly. Thanks in advance Back to the original topic, what is an effective amount of expertise to have?

Since my previous post a lot of theorycraft seems to have happened, in addition to me getting the last of my nether vorticies. Seeing as I'm going to be crafting my T3 sword anyway, I am still curious about your thoughts on Mallet/Mongoose vs Blazefury/Executioner for threat gen. Is it worth while, in your opinion, or do you think the sword is going to find a happy home in my DPS set and stay there. *looks up the list of posts in complete awe*

In that case then I would stick with a 1.6 if the only thing benefiting is devastate. Right…need to get my concepts correct.

I should also note that a bosses parry rate is between 12-15%. Basically, it all comes down to if you are in a high rage situation where you are able to HS a lot then faster is definitely better, but if you are in a low rage situation where you don't use HS then slower will be slightly better. (and this is only if it's the same dps, it's not worth using a slow 85 dps weapon over a fast 96 dps weapon) Heroic Strike is independent of weapon damage as well since it offers a static damage increase unlike Devastate which offers a percentage of your weapon damage.

I'm fairly new to tanking, but nice to see some discussion challenging the de facto standard of fast weapon for tanks. Come to think of it I'd like to try a 2.6 if I can find one that has good tanking stats (if I were to replace my Sun Eater @ 491 defense, gonna be hard). But if you count increased dmg in all devastate + revenge + heroic strike, that's some serious tps gain. Beside if you consider 5% parry rate from a boss, that's 1 less parry per minute.
