im pretty sure multishot will change, just due to stamina costs being gone, but its probably going to get a timer or an mp cost, since those are the only two resource management options now. Im just saying they built archer right, it is a DD that has a fundamentally different feeling and playstyle associated with it, more DoW need this. It shouldnt feel like your playing the same class fundamently on any class.
Im not just talking about different skills and different weaponskills, im talking about basic playstyle. FFXI every physical DD basically played the same way. In FFXIV right now, glad and archer actually feel like a different class, pug feels dif to me, though its closer to lnc and mrd. they need to continue on this path rather than unify all DD to one playstyle. The fact that archer will play in a different style than AA WS rinse repeat is a good thing, they can nerf archer, but dont build it into a class that is like every other physical DD but from range.

I don't see why it wouldn't conform to the standards that the other classes have to abide by, sure like you say they could be limited by their MP and I kind of hope that is the case, I would love to see Archers using MP to fuel their skills, it would be similar to how WoW handles Hunters. (even though Hunters have AA)

I guess we'll have to see just how good or bad the balance issue becomes, I'm sure anyone can remember FF11 back in the day before they nerfed Rangers, 3 rangers a healer, a tank and a thief (because the tank couldn't keep hate any other way) need I say more :S

whatevs im tired of arguin, i wont main archer anyway, most archers i know dont want AA but if they put it in and make it play like a boring DD thats on them

The majority DoW I talk to don't want AA either but then they didn't get a choice in the matter, I guess it was the Japanese who wanted AA back, because most people I have spoke to think AA is an archaic addition to the game.
