I am trying to move up the critter ladder but can`t seem to kill the critters with rebuke, even though I do kill them with a few of my weapons which are lower. Would STRA be better?
Maybe. Rebuke is multistrike so it does less damage per hit than STRA which is single strike. It's hard to say. The nice thing about STRA is you can just buy a scroll for cheap and try it out using a scroll slot for almost negligible cost.
And just to make sure, are you using TARGET REBUKE and waiting until it is fully targeted before you CAST? If not, then doing so will make it more likely to work better for you.

I use rebuke to train crossbow. Target crossbow, target rebuke, circle, weave, cast, fire. This is a great way to lock tactics, TM, and crossbow. Can even throw a little 'elbow' in there to work brawling.
I know others are not, but I am still a big fan of FST. I can tailor my TM damage type to whichever the mob is most susceptible to by switching weapons. STRA is just a wasted spell slot in my mind.

Riveted to the metal is a small copper plaque depicting a shield crossed with a longsword overlaying a field of thirteen stars. Encircling the design are the words, "Many Faces - One God."

It does have its use if your soul is tainted.

I like STRA just because I hate having to have a weapon in-hand for my TM spell. I don't really have any other opinion on FST, it's just that the core functionality which you love is both pointless, to me (I don't hunt enough critters with specific damage resistances), and is an active hindrance to me.

All our TM spells are purely physical damage IIRC, so STRA does give us some electrical damage but meh... I do a surprisingly large amount of damage with min mana FST.
It would be better if FST could be used with no weapon. It's not a huge deal for me, but it would be nice if it did. In theory, the multiple physical damage types thing is nice. In practice the only significant creature resistance I've noticed is physical v. elemental, not slice v. puncture, etc. I mean, there're some creatures where it's easy to feel a difference, like warklins, but usually it's hard to tell.
