My vote is for sharpen weapons because it also adds damage to group and with a full group of dps it heavily helps the overall boss killing process

Do you know what adds the most damage a person? I think aim, the power of sharpen is its group effect. But I'm not sure

I'm disappointed with Sharpen Weapons skill. IDK if it is my imagination or what, but I had 21/20 skill points put into it ( I believe this brought it up to 46 extra damage). I tested it out on Crommack the Gladiator(90) (In the Arena), first I attacked him without the skill and noticed an attack range of 140-190, then I applied Sharpen, and guess what....the exact same attack ranges.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but I feel as though Sharpen does absolutely nothing...anyone else agree/disagree?!
Or maybe the buff doesn't work in Arena?!?

As far as Steady Aim goes, everyone talks as though it's really great and helps a lot, but the skill doesn't tell you how much (if at all) it goes up with each skill point. So, without seeing something tangible, I personally have no interest in dumping skill points into it, because (just like with Sharpen) I see very little to no difference with or without it.

You should have a look at your stats before and after you cast steady aim, makes quite a lot difference in attack and damage

It adds over 300 attack and 50 damage for me. Given that it is impossible to spam skills continuously and that the bulk of our damage comes from autos, definitely worth it imo.

Steady aim lean toward attack buff.
Sharpen weapon lean toward damage buff.

Steady aim will buff you as individual slightly more then sharpen weapon.
Sharpen weapon buff the entire group but you won't benefit as much as steady aim if you are training solo.

If you're a team player - sharpen weapon will produced better buff overall.
If you're a solo player - steady aim is the one for you.

Tbh lol, I don't even use any of them due to lack of balanced build for rangers.
Bolas is over rated skill but yet still more handy. Target lock kill the fun for ksing therefore, dps is not forcefully require.
