That's why this spell is so awesome with low level archers (I use it with my Bowmen and it's always first spell in battle)

OP's specific situation implies that he has a pretty high attack modifier. It sounds like the hunters are bumping up against the 3X damage cap at 30+ attack value on the hunter, but the skeletons are still under the cap. Essentially, the hunters aren't getting the full benefit of dragon arrows if your attack modifier to too high.

For players with a lower attack modifier, hunters tend to show more dramatic benefit from dragon arrows and closer parity to skeletons.
