FourTwent Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I was under the assumption that you had to HAVE some expertise in order to gain a benefit from this 15% adrenal. However I'm in a discussion right now where someone is saying that it's not Your Expertise * 15% Instead it will just give you 15% expertise(as if you had 700 expertise or whatever to give you 15%) Which is correct?

ereko Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 not sure....but if you want to find out you can just take off all your gear so you have 0 expertise and then use one and analyze the results... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryhmr Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 if you use the adrenal without expertise its gives you 15% just like the power up in WZs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FourTwent Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) if you use the adrenal without expertise its gives you 15% just like the power up in WZs is it the same if you use it when you have expertise? or does it then turn into an expertise * 15% calculation?

Gwal Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I think it is termed badly. It gives you 15% expertise on top of what you have. Someone with 10% expertise has 25% while it is active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkfreudHC Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 It's just like abilities that add crit %. It's X% + buff % So, 0% + 15%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone with 10% expertise has 25% while it is active. then it's expertise + 15%? the tooltip says 'increases expertise by 15% for X seconds' which is why i assumed it was the other way It's just like abilities that add crit %. It's X% + buff % So, 0% + 15%. gotcha gotcha. good to know, i've been thinking it the other way this whole time, not using that adrenal in lowbie warzones D: Edited February 24, 2012 by FourTwent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwal Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 then it's expertise + 15%? the tooltip says 'increases expertise by 15% for X seconds' which is why i assumed it was the other way I made the exact same assumption but then I realised they were boosting my lowbie toon that has 0 expertise.

Zeel_Aldair Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I used to think it was an extra +15% (so 11%+15%=26% or whatever), then that it was only a +15% increase on your current expertise. Now I'm leaning back towards the former after reading this. Of course I still use them like candy either way in WZs. Every little bit helps. I could also check for myself by running a few trials, but hey I guess I've been a bit lazy for that. So if someone else has I'll take their word for it instead.

Astarica Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 The wording is confusing but it's just a flat +15%. If you had 0% expertise you now have 15%. If you had 10% expertise you now have 25%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellok Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 not sure....but if you want to find out you can just take off all your gear so you have 0 expertise and then use one and analyze the results... 15% of 0 would be *ahem* 0. Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jestunhi Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 15% of 0 would be *ahem* 0. Right? 15% of 0 would indeed be 0. But the adrenal is a flat rate, not percentage of current stat. It's 15% pvp damage, defense & healing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vakyoom Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 The wording is confusing but it's just a flat +15%. If you had 0% expertise you now have 15%. If you had 10% expertise you now have 25%. funny it didn't used to work like that. Nice change tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FourTwent Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 funny it didn't used to work like that.
