Yes I know I lose npc interaction, but that is what replays are for.

Bouncing is what makes lightning bolts great, because you get to hit people more than once.

Also, FB and Skull Trap are also almost interchangeable until 10th level, but ST damage is uncapped.

You can get by with half a thief, yeah, but it forces you to forego maxing out some thief abilities.
