I'm quickly running out of things to spend my AA's on. I have been purposely neglecting Enhanced Aggression only because the Attack stat does so little for our DPS and adds virtually nothing to agro.
Before I discounted the 50 AA's required for this seemingly useless AA line, I thought I would research it a bit more.
The actual description of the AA is: Each rank of this ability increases the maximum amount of attack you can gain from items.
The only comment I found regarding this AA line was found on the Steel Warrior as follows:
"Enhanced Aggression increases the cap on Attack received from equipment. The default cap is +250, so its not likely that this will be needed until your gear is quite uber. Even then, Attack will result in a small dps increase for us Warriors, but since agro is based on max hit per swing, has no increase to agro."
I think that pretty much sums it up......
Here is a nice link for you on this subject. Lots of interesting information on AC/Sheilding/Attack/Accuracy/etc.

If you add up all your +attack mods on your gear and you have more than +250 attack, then Enhanced Aggression will help you hit more for max damage. Each level of this adds +10 to the 250 attack cap. If you spend all the AA's it will raise your cap to 350.

A little more information there on attack. I'm just not sure if the return is there considering that each of the AA's cost 5 each. But on the other hand, I guess if the choice becomes buying Enhanced Aggression or Innate Wisdom and Intelligence, it makes it a little easier.
My current Attack is 220/260 (with 1 level of Enhanced Aggression). I guess it wouldn't make sense to purchase any additional levels until my attack stats are further increased by more than +40.
I had saved these till i had done all my defensive and bow, weapon procs, flurry and duelwield AAs thinking it wouldn't help much but my attack is going up 15 or 20 I think each time I get an enchanced aggression, I'm up to EA9 and its still increasing.

Your attack stat will only increase with Enhanced Aggression if you have more than the current 250 cap from your worn gear.
Magelo does a good job of quantifying your attack obtained from items.
So Omegga, if your attack is increasing with each level you purchase, I'm assuming your accumulated attack from worn gear must be about 340+.
Each level of EA should only yield +10 more to attack provided you have more than +10 to your current cap at the time you purchase it.
I don't know my exact numbers offhand, but when I removed my +35atk aug and replaced it with my +50 atk aug from anguish, the atk number did not move. I removed the +50 aug and took off my +40 atk chest piece, and then my atk dropped by 25 or so.
There is no way i my attack is already at 250... Is the attack cap lower for rangers or something?
Nevermind, rangers aren't gimped asI thoughjt.
I have more attack than the cap.
Never said rangers were logical...
