+1 marks, +1 expertise, or +1 wilderness Whatever one that will be more useful to you, aka whatever suits youir build better. In most cases Marksmanship will be the choice, but post your build and you'll get a better answer.

and to be fussy rangers don't wear helmets or hats, it's masks. :P

Use the marksmanship mask. If you're having energy problems, then use expertise. You shouldn't though because 12 expertise is good enough for a BHA build.

13/14 Expertise are better breakpoints (2 and 4 energy instead of 3 and 5) plus they give longer Lightning Reflexes/Throw Dirt.

If you play with high expertise, which benefits marksmen builds ironcally better than 14 Marksmanship, go EXPERTISE.

If you play with 8-9 Expertise only (I don't, having 5 energy skills cost only 2 energy, especially Barrage, is too good imo), get the Marksmanship headgear.


If you plan on using a superior rune of any kind, rather consider one +2 major or two +2 major runes, gives a better effect.

I personally run +1+2 expertise headgear and +2 Marksmanship in PvE.
In PvP, people tend to use rangers to spread conditions and interrupt, usually neglecting marksmanship in favor of expertise and go as low as 9/10 in many cases.

So, IMO, pick expertise headgear: +1 mask with +1 expertise should be a pretty general and effective setup.
