Don't use PvP gear with expertise on it in pre-55. WH and EWH had thier expertise removed, so they are fine. If you still have centurion, champ, or BM, they will now gimp you since they still have expertise. Expertise is now only for level cap.
Bolster has problems, but making games closer isn't one of them. I think most people that enjoy pvp for the sake of pvp find this to be a good change. I just wish they'd fix the exploitability of it.
If there's a possibiltiy to exploit via bolster mechanics after 2.1 hits, I'm out.
I hate to say that. I've been here since early release, and have loved my time playing, until the horrible implementation of bolster in 55 pvp. My confidence in the future of pvp in this game is completly shot.
Keeping my fingers crossed for a fix.
