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

[DoctorMog]

Made you a video.

Same situation, same mobs, same gear, 48 PUG instead of 50 Archer.

Second Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swRsHpF3BIc (repeating the example in video 1 on my 48 PUG)


48 PUG: 970
Archer: 1220

Difference: 250

Would a better weapon and 2 levels give me 250 more damage? I would bet that it would be close.

Conclusion: Find something other than damage to determine why Archer is OP. Damage output is not as off the wall as it is given credit for.

You have all those meleers at 50, and you corrupted the constants why?
Maybe it's because your pug has the best shot, and your R50 meleers do even worse.

If by "all those melees" you mean 50 glad 50 archer and 48 pug, then yes.

THM, CON and Shield aren't melees sir.

As for LNC and MRD, I would be glad to repeat this test on them once I have them at 50.
