Hey, Well I've been looking at builds and seen most have something like

Expertise - 12 + 1 + 1, does it mean to get Expertise to 14 or what?

Thanks.

Builds that require a lot of energy would benefit from Expertise 14. And I don't know if you are talking about PvE or PvP.

In general, though 10 to 12 is enough for most PvE builds.

Yes. 12 + 1 (from Expertise Mask) + 1 (Minor Expertise Rune) = 14

It means have your Expertise to max level (12) add an expertise headgear (which gives a bonus of +1) and then a minor expertise rune (also +1).

So you get 12 + 1 + 1

Keep in mind though, major runes lower your maximum health by 35, and superior runes by 75, aside from exceptions such as runes of absorbtion, but you don't need to worry about that unless u play warrior.

When using major and superior runes, you need to weigh out whats more important, health or skill effectiveness.

In most pvp builds, ranger's will have 14 (12 base + 1 headpiece + 1 minor rune) to meet the breakpoint of decreasing 10energy skills such as [savage shot] and [magebane shot] to 4 energy.

Its always funny to see people posting the same answer after 4-5 people before them have posted it.
