Carraway's Guide to the New Archer: 1.18 and Beyond

[Murugan]

I usually only play archer when not tanking, and using a non-melee friendly strategy, but I have a few questions (I could ask ls archers but it is late).

• Why no Cadence/Keen Flurry? Even without anyone to BR with (pick up groups) I usually stack these and solo BR for the considerable boost to bloodletter dmg (with my +1 crab bow it usually hits for 140-280 with these instead of 80-160 w/o). I assume there is a reason because JP groups are confused when I do this (though it might just be that they think I want them to renkai with me)
• no Absorb Attack?
• Is foeseeker really better than skull sunder II considering the dot and low TP cost?
• Is stacking buffs on multishot really preferable to doing them on a WS even against higher level mobs such as Ogre/Batraal? I have tried this and saw only an increase of about 30-40 dmg per hit, while on bloodletter I got +100-200 damage and I figured it also boosted the DoT/end of DoT damage assuming no one overwrote it (which I guess is rare in multi archer parties from how I understand bloodletter working?)
• On a properly debuffed mob is Victimize ever worth using? Most I've gotten on it was ~370, but this wasn't fully self buffed and the mob was missing some debuffs/dots.
• Would you get better damage overall in a party if you allowed heavily buffed 300 dmg + Bloodletters wear off and alternate this rather than all using bloodletter? Or is the dot/end dmg not affected by buffed initial damage.
