Just a note on sharp shot , I have been doing some testing with ranger and my warrior , watching his hp as I use the skill, it seems the following auto attack is animation only and the damage does not register, please if you test this let me know how it turns out .up until level 130 or so i was max on light heal, rapid, sharp shot with leftover in steady aim. i had a fair amount of vit, but was mostly dex. every battle would start bolas, rapid, sharp. it was pretty effective.
I have switched to a lot more str and noticed that my sharp was not much more than my auto - so i gave up sharp for def spike (not great, but helps a bit once they close in).
Now, with equipment my str=345, dex=375 - i have bolas, light, rapid, steady maxed (well, bolas is not maxed, but does level 160 mobs) and the rest in def spikes. i am considering going back to sharp if it looks like it will do more dmg than auto with my dex at 375.
I love ss btw and I have it maxed ATM , and can go 50/35 with rings as needed .
