Expertise Change (with graph!)

The diminishing return formula for several stats (including expertise) has been adjusted.
In reference to this change, I've dug up the changes to the stat. The cap is going from 20% to 50%, but the initial slope is being decreased to compensate. The basic gist is that under 300 rating, you lose a slight amount of benefit (you won't really notice a difference), but the stat falls off less as you get more. At 300 rating, expertise will be about 1% better than current. By 500 rating, Expertise will be about 9.5% better than current. If 1000 rating ever becomes reachable, it'll be about 30% better than current.

Here's a graph comparing the total benefit over a range of 0 to 1000 expertise:

Here's another showing 0 through 2500, so you can more clearly see the difference in shape:

looks like a nerf to me. People who have 700 expertise now are going to see their percents drop by what? 3 percent?

Someone is either colorblind or read the graph wrong.

It seems to me that there is LESS diminishment above 300, so you should have a higher percentage. That is unless my colorblindness is getting the best of me OR I fail at reading graphs. lol

I'd get a refund on my high school tuition if I were you. While you are at it, a middle school/junior high refund might be something you need to look at also.
