I'm a bit confused on how strafe works;
1st, it says it does 3/4 weapon damage, but it adds +5% damage per skill level... so at say skill level 20, it adds 100% damage of your bow at a 3/4 capacity?
2nd, at skill level 20, it says it will attack up to 10-monsters, however what if you are only attacking one monster, such as a boss; will you shoot 10-strafing arrows at it, or only 1?
3rd, is the damage bonus, the +100% at skill level 20, added to each and every strafed arrow, or is it divided evenly among all 10-arrows you fire?
I think that about covers it. I'm starting up D again with my son and started with one of my favorites, the amazon. Can't decided to go typical multi/guided, multi/strafe, or freezing arrow +all synergies.
After thought; if the answer to question #3 is yes, the damage is applied to each and every arrow, then why would anyone bother taking Guided Arrow when strafe does about 950% more damage for only 8-mana more?
> Another thought, but totally different: With Sacrifice for the Paladin class, does the 8% damage to self happen after life steal, before life steal, or concurrently with life steal? If you pumped Redemption, Fanaticism, and Sacrifice all to 20, Sacrifice would be doing +865% damage before adding in the Fanaticism aura or other damage modifiers. If you had a good weapon, you could easily be causing yourself way more damage than you have life, and if life steal and the penalty for using Sacrifice don't occur concurrently, that skill is completely useless.
