Expertise:
Expertise is the Ranger's primary attribute. Every rank in Expertise reduces energy costs on any attack skills, preparations, or traps by 4%. At skill rank 12, energy costs are reduced by 48%. It is highly advisable to have a high Expertise rank as it not only increases the power of all its linked skills but also reduces energy cost on other attack skills as well, even from other professions or attributes.
A Ranger who focuses on high Expertise will not only experience a lower energy cost on all attack skills but also have access to many defensive and disruptive skills with a few attack skills placed in. To many people only glancing at the expertise line, it may seem rather weak as most skills only aid in defense or lower the enemy’s abilities. Truth be told, Expertise is one of the more important attributes in the game. The disruption skills are key to bringing down some of the tougher enemies, while the defensive skills will keep you alive more often than you may realize. Add in the reduction of energy cost, and this attribute line becomes almost irreplaceable.

Note that this is not complete - shouts, nature rituals, pet attacks and stances are also affected by expertise.
