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.

Well by the end of my game I was running:

1 Hunter stack ( sniper )
1 Elven stack ( sniper )
1 Skelly Archer stack ( No sniper )

I'd also managed to get a lot of crazy archer bonus items so I could one shot most enemies. If the enemies were melee I could wait with my skeleton archers, then fire once the enemy had moved closer, after casting mass precision of course . If they had multiple ranged stacks, I'd usually end up using dragon arrows to make sure my skelly archers could lend their firepower without penalties.

I'm really looking forward to playing my Mage. Mass precision and Dragon arrows in the first round, or Mass precision and Demon/Dragon Slayer spell in the first round later in the game I was suprised there was no undead slayer spell though.
