WoW: Combat Stats and the Math Behind Them
Posted November 21st, 2007 by Shayalyn
What's with all these
crazy numbers?
This is likely the question many of you will be asking yourselves when you first load up World of Warcraft and look at some of your equipment. I know I did. When you first explore your character sheet there is a lot of information there that is not really explained in other places. In addition many of the numbers have changed since the initial release, so the original manual is of little use.

*Expertise* - Expertise replaces the old weapon skill bonus. This stat lowers the percentage chance that your melee attacks will be dodged or parried.
