At a glance:
The overall goal of the system is to offer new and exciting choices for players to make about the development of their characters. These choices offer players the chance to further customize their character creating more diversity between characters of the same profession and give the player an additional goal when leveling.
At level 10, a player earns five Expertise points and then earns 1 point every two levels up to a maximum of forty-five points at level 90.
Once a player reaches level 10, they can activate the Expertise interface (it will appear on the Main Menu) and begin allocating their points over the two trees available to their profession.
Allocating Expertise points will do one of two things for a character. They will either modify an existing ability, such as increasing damage done, or they will unlock new abilities or series of abilities.

The Kill Meter is a statistic that commandos receive if they spend their expertise points on Kill Meter expertise.
Once the Kill Meter is displayed, a commando may rack up kills on the meter. Each kill increases Kill Meter expertise ability potencies. Kills on the Kill Meter degrade over time. The more kills on the meter will cause them to degrade faster.
The Kill Meter will appear as an icon with a number over it. As you get more kills, the meter's number will get larger and change from yellow to red. The highest amount of kills the meter can have displayed is 50.
