Arcane Archer skill scaling? What to build?
So, I've been playing HC with an Arcane Soldier wielding, currently, a Longbow. I didn't level up either Frost Strike or Flaming Strike because both seemed to have a bad PP/Damage ratio growth, keeping them at level 1 - but still, the Fire damage and Burning damage have been consistently scaling as I improve my stats.

My question is: should I keep pumping Strength, as it seems to increase my damage (I've been going Str/Spd for the most part), or do Arcane Archers need another stat? Do I keep my special strikes at level 1, and, if so, should I level those special attacks (Wounding Strike, Bleeding Strike, Stunning Strike, Power Strike)? What about spells? This is an HC/IM run, just finished the Nabros castle and Febret temple.

All I can think of is using meditation to get a high PP to spam lvl10 Wounding Strike. 30 levels of Flaming Strike costs so much skill points and I have to wonder why not have a mage with level 5 Fireball? And Frost Strike has terrible PP scaling. I'm not sure about stats... you probably want a good amount of CON and AGI (along with your mandatory SPD at every level).

I'm not upgrading any of the Strikes (talking about Flaming and Frost), I find their level 1 scales just fine - I hope it doesn't come back to bite me in the ass in the late-game, but so far the AS has been making things very easy for me (compared to playing without him), and with his strikes at level 1 I can use them 4 - 5 times at level 8, and that amount just increases :). I've been going Str+Spd on most level ups, with an occasional point in Agi or Con. Only thing I miss is having a good AoE spell for larger mob groups (party is 2hMaceBarbarian/AxeGaulen/2hSwordThief/Bard/Cleric/ArcaneArcher) :/.
