How is this melee weapon so cheap?

depends on what you are fighting. EQ will compare ur atk with enemy ac and use that to weigh a d20 roll to pick how much damage you do. if ur atk is close to enemy ac then adding attack will make a difference to the weightings. If the enemy AC is either way higher or way lower than your atk then adding a smidgen more won't make a difference. Basically if you are doing a good spread of damages on your hits, adding attack will help a fair bit. If you are hitting mostly for min or mostly for max it won't do much.

I pretty much always cast it anyway, otherwise I may as well not be a ranger.

I'm just lazy about constantly reapplying buffs that only last 10 minutes. I don't like having to constantly swap spells.

I never saw Ranger as a class that absolutely has to utilize every little advantage it possibly can, but if it would serve me better, I guess I can try to start breaking some lazy habits.
