Patch 2.3, Expertise, how it affects us

In Patch 2.3 Blizzard are introducing a new Skill and Rating, Expertise, which will replace the current Weapon Skill/Rating and with it introduce a new and understandable mechanic.
The Mechanics:
Expertise reduces the dodge and parry chance of the target by 0.25% per point of skill. Nice and simple. Blizzard has said that the Rating / Skill ratio will be the same for Expertise as it is for Weapon Skill. This means that 1 Expertise Skill = 3.9 Expertise Rating at level 70.
So now things are easy to understand, the mechanics of Weapon Skill have always been subject to conjecture and the analysis of statistics generated from combat. Now we have the mechanic of Expertise stated by Blizzard and it could not be simpler.

How it affects us? Check out the full version of the article!
