Just to elaborate further on the problem:
Multishot has SrcDam=96 in skills.txt, and calls upon the multipleshotarrow and multipleshotbolt missiles with SrcDamage=96 in missiles.txt.
Strafe has SrcDam=128 in skills.txt, and calls upon the multipleshotarrow and multipleshotbolt missiles with SrcDamage=96 in missiles.txt.
From your understanding of the MPQ files, would this imply that Multishot is taking the 1/4 damage penalty twice (perhaps compounded), whereas Strafe is also taking it once? If SrcDam and SrcDamage are both being applied, do they both affect elemental damage, or is it just restricted to SrcDam in skills.txt (the difference between Multishot and Strafe)?
