As the title states, Does my offhand need to be expertise capped when I do fury pve? currently I am 26/21. Should I sacrifice some arpen for experise?
Thanks

No. In fact Orc bis list has expertise like that.Quote:

Can you elaborate on why the offhand expertise doesn't matter? Just want to understand it thoroughly
It matters, its just that going over the cap on your MH is bigger dps loss.Quote:

Our OH is responsible for only about 35% of our dmg.
You can either use cca 40 expertise to boost your OH dmg by 3% or 40 arp to to boost all your dmg (including OH) by cca 2%.
Whirlwind says Yes, it has to be capped even if 29/26.
3 expertise loss is less than 1% chance to get your OH to be dodged. 70+% of dmg comes from MH. 3 expertise can be replaced by about 30 str in gems.Quote:

That being said dps difference between both setups is extremely small. Feel free to play whichever.
Whirlwind offhand scales on mainhand expertise for some reason. I am playing with uncapped offhand expertise since nearly a year now and have never seen a whirlwind dodge. the only dmg loss you have is from normal offhand melee swings which is definitely negligableQuote:
