It's so pathetic how so few of you fucking idiots know how to balance a game properly, it's like you have nothing between your ears.

You seem angry.

Somebody call the WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMBULANCE.

I'm done with this game, Multishot recast is ridiculous. I hope more people quit this game, because you made them waste time leveling a useless job now.

See you again... When Patch 1.19 is up lol

Didn't read through all of this, but Multishot is only slightly nerfed as others mentioned and not completely useless. Generally best way to use Multishot pre-patch was on a ~30s CD with Raging Strike + (Hawk's Eye and Ferocity) when possible, you can still accomplish this while still doing dps by using Close Shot as your normal attack (4.5s CD).

So you will basically follow this progression:

Multishot (15s CD) - 2 arrows nocked
Close Shot (4.5s)
Close Shot (4.5s)
Close Shot (4.5s)
Raging Strike + Hawk's Eye + Ferocity
Multishot - 3 arrows nocked
Light Shot - loose 3 buffed arrows

You lose about 5s I'd say from the old zero stamina unbuffed multishot, if you saved multishot for Raging Strike timer you don't really lose much at all, you just have to make sure to nock arrows on Multishot CD while wait for Raging Strike to come back up. This will all go to hell ofc once they realize Close Shot's recast timer is way too low at 4.5s.

People will probably only use 2 nocked arrows every 15 seconds when mid-fight instead of waiting on 3.

For openers, I see people using Multishot > Buffs > Multishot > Light Shot.

Exactly, why do a fully buffed Multishot when you can just treat it as a free double attack every 15 seconds. If you use it every 15 seconds you can fire 4 shots in 30 seconds instead of 3 with buffs. This means more TP for ws and you can buff your ws instead of Multishot. In my opinion would create more damage but less burst.

[Synthesis]

archer is fine. It still does a lot of damage. R30 skill gives loads 3x arrows in instant.

now
Dmg Buff, 2 shots (or wait 15secs and 3 shots)
Dmg buff, Accuracy buff, 3 shots

vs

before
Dmg Buff, 3 shots,
Dmg buff, Accuracy buff, 3 shots

No reason to quit at all for such minor thing. More serious issue than this are faction leves icons.
