the status effect dus makeyour damage go up
the down side is that players will pill it away fast
the splash damage how ever can be usefullat times when your being mobbed
, but can also be a pain as you can lure to many monsters on your self and get mobbed
Also the more damage your attack dus the more damage the splash dus
looking closer at the lightning skills there are some that are usefull like the parry buiff and passive , but the magic skills like the shouts and tbolts and the extra magic damage buff are useless on a str char
imo a lightning str archer also needs cold and/or fire for the buffs and passives but that means youd have to have alot of masterys .
Thinking a lil ahead we say max lvl is 90 ( witch it will be eventualy)
4 x 90 = 360 , that 60 points over the max at lvl 90
If you wanna build a light str archer effectively youd have to figure out a way to devide your 300 mastery's over all the skill tree's you'd want
and sp farm alot
