Expertise
From Guild Wars Wiki
Expertise is the primary attribute of Rangers.
“For each rank of Expertise, the Energy cost of all of your attacks, Rituals, touch skills and Rangers skills are decreased by 4%. Several skills, especially those related to Energy costs and skill recharge times, become more effective with higher Expertise.
