I am playing a Survivor 13th, that has been using his bow mostly as well as some wizard magic. I have read the skill descriptions and some are too vauge.
So far, Deadly Disks is my only area spell.
I like to roleplay in a world where such things are not mysteries.

Do any of these skills affect an area or hit 2 or more creatures?

- Splitting Arrows
- Trail Bombs, Spider mines
- Explosive Arrows
- Hell Spikes
- Seeking Flame
- Elemental Hail
- Elemental Strike

Do Poisoned, Elemental, Spiritual, Explosive Arrows deal the listed damage in addition to normal damage?

Do any curses affect an area rather than a single creature?

Does Repel Damage (passive) prevent the listed damage from happening?

How long do the shielding/guarding spells last if you don't get hit with damage?

Does Shadow Warrior stay around as a pet or vanish after striking?

Does True Shot (passive) work properly? I heard there was a bug.

Is there a website where there is active discussion or more accurate descriptions of the skills? I don't consider gamefaqs.com complete enough.

Thanks for your answers
