PSA: Archer skills have secondary properties

Don’t know if this is well known or not, but all archer skills have a secondary property of being strike or pierce damage.

What this means is debuffs that increase pierce/strike damage work on your skills.

So if you’re an SR, make sure you always ask the wizzie to use Lethargy.
Fencers/Hoplites have a pierce debuff.
Rodelero’s have a few strike debuffs.

so retreat shot does +50% dmg to plate enemies?

No you don’t get the armor properties because the skill does “Missile” damage.

You only get benefits from skills that increase “pierce/strike” damage.

wouldn’t that be a mis-translation or some unintended feature to some extent?

some skill have a property like pierce/strike full draw and heavy shot does 50% more damage on some ennemies … but not on the same one
