If you are however hit on a 7 or 8 its ok) You have more of "paired feats"like improved initiative and quick drawlike armor specialization and shield specializationlike paragon defenses and combat anticipation (which also gives an AC bonus in certain situations... but doesn´t stack with armor spec... but maybe worth as a feat for 2 levels or so) So yes, i think there are some bonuses you should try to get of a feat for certain character concepts, but you still have a choice between more or less equal feats. The problem with expertise is, that it makes some feats redundant, which would not be so bad if it was a paragon or epic feat. But as it stands, it is a heroic feat which is straight better than nimble blade in all regards, and is a too good bonus with +3 at epic to overlook with most characters. (+1 at paragon, +2 at epic would be much more acceptable) But at least you have a choice when to take it. And there are a lot of feats which you will get before you take a feat like expertise.</blockquote>
