History repeats itself: Time for the Great Archer Nerf of 2011

[Peregrine]

well looking at, i think peregrines point, is even if archer does the same damage, it takes much less risk in battle, because most monsters aoe and weaponskills is thier big danger, and most mobs ranged attacks are a lot weaker with shell ii id guess.

However, on the other side, i think most DD should come down to playstyle differences, you pick a certain DD because you enjoy thier style of play, which should feel unique.

Right now, i think Archer needs to be as good at DD, or close to it, because they dont have any of thier situational arrows that they were supposed to have

They have dispel, man. What more do you want? Dispel was the sole reason some jobs got invites in XI for years. Some guy thought he'd be cool to come in here and posture about how awesome bloodletter is. Okay, add that to the list heralding the only forseeable outcome in this encounter. With scour.

Who decided to give archers dispel? Bueller? Bueller? Is anyone paying attention?


In a parse, where your meleers are doing 18% damage, the archer should be doing 14% damage. That's a fair price.
