Astarica Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Just noticed Force Choke does constant kinetic damage so I decided to give this theory a try. Force Choke does constant kinetic damage, and Force Lightning does constant energy damage. Neither character has any armor penetration. Level 27 Juggernaut, 0 Expertise using Force Choke on dummy = 22% damage reduced based on tooltip Level 50 Assassin, 1263 expertise (+23.58% damage versus players), Force Lightning on dummy = 20% damage reduced based on tooltip. So, it seems pretty safe to assume that Expertise is not accounted for on Warzone dummies. Not sure why the numbers don't match up exactly (rounding error?) The dummy does scale to your level, but unless there's a reason to believe that the level 50 dummy is supposed to have ~40% mitigation via armor (that's what it'd need to cancel out the expertise bonus) compared to the level 27 dummy at 22%, this means you'll actually do less damage to the WZ dummy in PvP gear than PvE gear because expertise doesn't work on it anyway.
