those of you with bare minimum dex... don't you miss and get dodged / parried a lot?
Zum, I only use 7 skills. They are: Steady Aim, Rapid Shot, Light Heal, Bolas, Sharp Shot, Barbed Shot and Bandage Wounds (I only use Bandage Wounds when I am healing the tanks in a boss fight) If I remember correctly, all the skills I named are fully upgraded.
Now to answer your question. Steady Aim is the skill I always use before I attack. Why? 1. It increases you chance to hit, 2. It increases your damage. With that said, I will now tell you that, on an average, I miss once out of 7 shots. My dexterity is currently set at 10 skill points. Once I get full Meteoric armour, I'm setting everything to 5 and topping strength. But that doesn't mean I'm going to run around wearing Meteoric all the time. I'm going to be wearing: Heroic Amulet of Rejuvenation, Golden Quiver of Rejuvenation, Meteoric cuirass, Meteoric greaves, Heroic gloves of Haste, Heroic boots of Speed, (I'm not sure of which I'll wear yet, it depends which adds more damage/attack) Bloodlust helm or Meteoric helm and I'll occasionally switch between Meteoric bow and Winterking bow.
