here's the armory link: http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Arthas&n=Neurth

You're a 375 BS, what did you train into? Because dual http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28433 or http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28439 are both better than the weapons you have now. Aside from just stats, can you say a little bit about your pve gear? It looks like you logged out in pvp gear.

Hello! I cannot see your armory at the moment since the WoW sites in general are being lame, however I wanted to just clarify what you meant by expertise capped.

Taken from the Expertise Rating page on WoWwiki:
The dodge and parry chances for boss-mobs is currently disputed, but combat parses tend to point at around 6.5% dodge and as high as 12-15% parry.[citation needed] Assuming 6.5% dodge and 15% parry, a player would need 26 expertise (about 102 expertise rating - 101.92 exactly) to negate a boss' dodge chance, and 60 expertise (roughly 236 expertise rating) to prevent parries.

To "cap" expertise against a raid boss, melee DPS need only concern themselves with the boss' dodge chance, provided that they attack from behind. This dictates a goal of 102 expertise rating, which is reasonably achievable given the gear added to the game in Patch 2.4.

I assumed you were talking about attack-from-the-back expertise dodge "capped" and wanted to make sure. Since armory is indeed down, can you mention those items that get you to the 102? I would guess shard of the contempt is one important one, but would be interested in what else you're packin. Thanks!

You logged out in PVP gear, please log on in PVE gear so we can see what you are rolling in.

Also, I think we are currently full on fury warriors, but still, contact Archonist, cratchet, hermioney, or lunariann for a trial run.

i missunderstood the cap thing, i have 20 expertise, and i do have pvp gear unfortunatly, i have een doing kara lately though and have gotton a few upgrades, but intell then, im afraid thats my gear =(

well the pvp gear in this case i dont think is a huge deal. he's already reached the point where warriors normally stop gearing specifically for hit so it shouldnt be a major issue.

the thing that stands out to me though, is all the green quality gems. in a raid setting if all members are using blue rather than green gems the combined effect improves total raid dps by 2-3% if i remember correctly. not insignificant when we're doing 7000 dps as a group. i realize its only gladiator gear but anything past that we'd definitely like to see investments made in better gems and getting equipment enchanted.

i will agree with zillaana though as far as weapons, if you've taken up a weaponsmithing mastery i'd highly suggest looking into those weapons. dragonstrike isnt unique anymore so im 95% sure it can be dual wielded... extreme amounts of haste rating.

so if my gear is decent, do you think i could get in? what do i have to do and not have to do, more detailed info on what you would like me to do

as archonist mentioned, you can contact him, cratchet, hermioney, or myself and we'll run a heroic with you just to see how you do. the previous discussion here is basically just constructive criticism, food for thought if you will.
