Overall I find Focus kinda useless but some guides say its recommended. I find Storm Summon very useful for mobbing and extra attack, etc. But I don't know what to max. Can anyone help?

I like storm, because it can mob and "Hold" the monsters together for like a second, so you can get some distance and attack. Im going with storm.

I did storm, and I find it better. When I am killing one on one, and a monster spawn behinds, storm gives me time to take care of it then turn around. Focus isn't worth it.

Well, archers already have enough accuracy and avoid I think Storm would be better so that if you are in a mob, you can handle them. I think Storm is better for a Wind Archer

Lol the two votes. Don't max either, I don't think you have enough points do you? After DS/Crit/Eye put the rest in Focus. One point in Storm helps for the low levels, but seems to be useless in the later levels to me.

Points into Storm are going to be points that you won't ever get back in your later career, when there's never a good reason to do minor damage to a monster that you're not already actively fighting.

Storm loses its usefulness quickly at level 50. As thats when you use Storm breath. While when you use focus the 20 avoid is pretty nice. Sometimes may save your life xD

Idk right now I'm leaning towards focus, but willing to max storm if someone gives a good enough reason

Focus, lvl120 Sprite only does like 100 damage to lvl120 monsters. Focus is a buff on the other hand to add avoid, acc, and to make urself look cool with lots of buffs on you.

I would say max Focus because it seems to be more useful in the long run with 20 added accuracy and avoidability. Sprite is actually too weak to help you much in training later on during higher levels even though I do find spite very useful at low levels. Plus, sprite is only good in short range, archers can shoot much further and faster so I wouldn't rely on sprite for leveling. I'm only going to keep sprite at level 3 and maxing everything else.

Sprite is extremely useful when both you and the skill are low leveled. Later on, Storm is merely a nuisance, and adding more points into the skill does not make it any more useful than it is at level 1. It will do slightly more damage, but that small amount makes next to no difference. Aya, Storm's half as strong as Silver Hawk is, meaning that at level 120 you'll never see Storm hit over 750 damage. Yes, it's useful as hell at level 1. No, adding into it won't make it any more useful than it is at level 1. It hits 3 monsters at all levels, and the damage is so small even as to be irrelevant.
