When is your attack rating "too much" ?

With dragon arrows u might reach that with hunter tough

Thanks. I'll probably keep the high attack, my archers are one shotting most enemies at the moment and with buffs / debuffs they can one shot any enemy in the game I've come across so far. ( I'm looking forward to starting a game on impossible now, one shotting stuff is cool but a little boring. )

Yes, very strong hehe. It's just a shame skeleton archers don't have sniper

Dragon Arrows remove this sniper penalty.

Yeah, it's just a pain that my first spell in a fight is -always- Dragon Arrows ( well 9/10 fights ), because they're so powerful lol ( Spell balance is going to be another topic sometimes soon ) I'd like to cast mass precision sometime as well haha. Ah well, I guess that's down to playing on normal where most fights never make it past 3 or 4 rounds.

I don't always need to, even out of range I have so many of them and so many buffs to ranged combat from items I can sometimes kill stacks without using dragon arrows. Which means my first spell in those cases is usually mass precision. Sometimes I'll use mass haste instead; depending on what I have in my army at the time. Sometimes I can risk running my skeleton archers forward a little so that they're not taking "out of range" penalties.

yes but dragon arow doesnt just make them sniper but also ignore enemys defence, i am ok on units lvl 1-2 it might be not needed since boost is not high but for heroes and high lvl uniits it a must be

Well there are other good first spell than dragon arrows. But well I see why with Skeleton Archer it's more interesting. For long range Mass precision could be better if you have 3 long range stack that are higher level. Myself I don't use enough those spells for long range units.
