After getting all the useful skills as an archer (double shot, Eye of Amazon, critical, Blessing of Amazon), should I get points into focus or should i add points into arrow blow instead because I heared its more useful later on right?

They're both pretty much useless.

I use focus just for the added Avoidability. Don't really need the ACC boost. I never used Arrow Blow in 2nd, 3rd or 4th job. Main attacking skill should be double shot (early bowman) and iron arrow for mobs, then strafe for 3rd job forward (using blizzard and AE/Pierce for mobs)

Arrow blows animation is sick. They both get replaced anyways, if you have arrow blow you can KB early in cpq?.

If you already got DS maxed instead of AB max out Focus, AB is still a great KB'er in third job, but may bet replaced in 4th job by that Dragon thing lol. IMO AB is better in the long run, I managed to wait till my 3rd job adv. Already confirmed that lv 1 strafe WILL out damage DS, which is completely useless in 3rd job, (unless you are Balrog PQ'ing). As AB can still be used for better KB (I use it in dojo).
