Mid level archer - Questions on build

[Addihul]

Morning. I started my archer a few days back and I have a few questions.

1. Blinding shot and repluse shot scenario: Let's say you're shooting at a boss with a speed of 1.2. When you hit them with blind/repluse, does your bow continue to shoot at 1.2? Or does it pause, take the skill shots, and then start up again? This is important as the DPS increase popping blind/repluse would be significant if it ADDED damage while your bow was doing its normal attacks. If not, they're worthless since they're low dmg mana syncs?

2. Shattering scream is AoE?

3. The 'cruel combo' from both screams is only a visual effect as the 'combo' does nothing extra (dmg, etc)?

4. Break armor is AoE or single target?

5. I will be a bow weilding Archer so absolutely no need for int/str correct?

6. Right now my build is as follows:

focus - 5
blast shot - 5
thorn root - 5
meditation - 5
evade - 5
break arm - 5
shat scream - 5

Not sure where to put the other 5 points, and why? Thanks
