Yes... however... Chaos Thrust might be 6 hits... BUT all six hits essentially function as 1 weaponskill.... look at the damage
at 2000 TP, Chaos thrust and Doomspike do pretty close damage
where as light strike after multishot really is 3 hits

I think you need to realise how poor arc is, saying we shouldn't be top dps currently is completely rediculous. what are we supposed to be, we have very few useful TP abilities for debuffing or anything. so thats makes us a pure dps role which is currently rock bottom of the DPS tree. To many people are bitter over how strong archer was and are holding it against them, Surely the game should be aiming for balanced dps class which can be used in all encounters.
That level1 non WS isn't free, its called an arrow which i pay for over and over. I pay for my ranged advantage i shouldn't also pay with less than optimal dps.
We are rock button now but we pay for arrows so we can have a ranged advantage (ie not in AOE range), not be so we can be top tier DD. I'm not asking for archer to be the best I'm asking for to be a viable class and as it stands right now that isn't the case. All of our options have been nerfed to the point of uselessness, SE really needs to go back and look at this job and fix it.
