The reason why i posted like that was:
If strafe get's extra arrows hitting the damage output/time is much higher than non-piercing GA against single monster. This is big if when it comes on hitting. That is if strafe gets those extra arrows to single monster to hit in 1.10.
Immolation arrows are hitting allways if not blocked, fire will burn Diablo with higher chance than GA hits if Diablo is stationary like he usually is, just you have to aim as it does not seek the monster. However we might get even to situation where you need to know fire resist vs. block percentages for monster to get maximum effect out like in D1 resistances.
When i say using Immolation arrow for something, i allways mean that if using it you do some other attack while in delay, but this of course was not clear on my post as it was short version.
But yes i agree that guided will be must have for some occasions (moving targets that are missed with strafe/immolation in situations where MS doesn't do that much good).
About damage: that 5% on skill is much less even when you are getting so much other sources of enhanced damage % (that is auras, dex, % ED outside bow etc), so there are no real reason in damage wise if only 1 arrow hit with strafe to use strafe against single monsters. Then GA beats strafe in 99,99% of cases.
Just my opinion though....
