How To See Expertise/Watermark Score?

[mspotato]

I wanted to put this separate from the other posts here

Going by the dev post on the end game changes, how does one know what their Watermark/Expertise score is?

I bought my gear on TP to do the northern areas quests. The GS on those items are about 525 tops. And even fighting level 60 mobs, the dropped items haven’t broken that GS

Unfortunately, they weren’t able to add the watermark appearing on your equipment screen like they did in the screenshot. At least it’s not in PTR. It seems like something they shouldn’t advertise if they actually can’t do it, but them’s the breaks, right?

So it might not be visible when this goes live.

I would not be surprised if that’s the case to put it mildly.

If it is not visible when this goes live I can see that adding a whole other level of “rantageddom”.

I’ll be waiting with popcorn.

Also I think the screen shot they provided is faked. All slots show a copy/paste 520 expertise and then the average is 526???

(Unless for weapons not appearing, still seems like a fake screen shot)
