I have read that it caps at 2000 expertise and you should prioritize it when PVPing. But I made an Operative and bought the head piece at PvP vendor in DK when I hit 20. Now whenever i enter a WZ, it says I have 1883 expertise.
Note I'm not complaining. I do massive damage and/or heals thanks to that. But what's the point of getting all pieces (some of them quite bad aestethically imo) if a single piece almost caps the expertise rating.

Your stats are buffed up to a level 55 character when you enter into a Warzone.

Well then I guess it's more about skill than gear until level 50.
Still since I capped on WZ comms, had to buy all level 40 PvP pieces. Looking forward to try them on.

Expertise, it is a statistic created by Blizzard for use in World of Warcraft for PvP. SWTOR adopted it because it prevents people who have REALLY great PvE gear from dominating PvP, which occured in WoW. Expertise effectively helps a character in three ways: grants them a bonus to hit, extra protection from being hit and minimizes the effects of a critical hit against you. PvP at lower levels is not really a skill vs gear thing because even though a level 30 and a level 54 might be in the same Warzone, the level 54 has FAR more tricks up his sleeve than the level 30. More stuns, more knockbacks and more stun breakers. At level 55, skill comes more to play than before but because the potential gear disparity you are cannon fodder until you get enough expertise pieces to help out. By the way Expertise is pointless prior to 55 as no PvP Comm bought gear will have it until 55.
