* Gets the most benefit from INT among all the Sorcerer's AoE skills. The higher your INT value, the harder it hits as it's got triple the potency for INT. With items like {{#item: 22001}} with {{#item: 4876}} and {{#item: 470074}}, PW will hit like a truck.

* Frequently disregarded once the leveling phase is over, this skill will still have its uses once you've transitioned to Elemental Master. This is your widest AoE skill, your 4th job High Elementals would still give you ability to endow this skill's property to the 4 basic elements + <span style="color:purple;">Poison</span> eventually. Oftentimes you'll find yourself finished with your set-ups but the MVP is too far away and you want to maintain distance between you and him as much as possible, PW is there to reach and lure him towards you, and besides with 4th job traits and gears PW will still deal a considerable amount of damage so consider adding this to your skill set.

* Ideally, you'd want to have an FCT lower than 1 second or VCT lower than 90% so you can't instant cast your bolt skills. Yes, that may sound absurd but that's because you'd need to not completely cast your elemental bolts so you could apply Spell Fist as an active skill. Aim your bolt skills on a target, cast it, then immediately press Spell Fist. Instant casting your bolt skills will make it impossible for you to activate Spell Fist.
