We start off as archers and are told to put our points into dex to increase or DPS but dexterity by the nature of the word means we are nimble so what would the point of putting movement restrictions on us? It makes no sense. Now a direction of facing restriction would make sense to me firing a bloodletter away from the target only to have it land on target is stupid. And I do like the idea of finding a sweet spot to deal max damage based on range.

I agree that when I'm in a fight that if I start doing to much dps then I get argo and we do seem to have low defence for DoW class and low HP in general. Combined with lower DPS. The thought of even lower DPS makes me think of how much I am going to enjoy solo'ing the game now.
