Chances are that Archer's base damage is dropping because damage buffs will be among the job form's repertoire of songs. Like I said above, in a fast-paced battle, too much of either job's time is spent going back and forth between repeating the same type of thing, or doing no things. Switching back and forth between damaging until you're in danger, and then hitting Chameleon and rebuffing while you cool down will probably go smoothly and look bad-ass.

I'd say to wait and try it before you preemptively go all (no offense) cranky child with a slow-to-warm-up temperament on it. If you still think it sucks, level MRD. Warrior is probably the only job who will never have more responsibilities other than, "Keep kicking that ass."

You'll just see responsibilities like:
  • "Kick more ass at the appropriate time."
  • "Kick less for a second so I can get hate back."
  • "Maybe kick some ass positioning yourself from this angle for a minute."
  • "Keep kicking ass, but tank this for a second."
  • "Quick, kick more ass than usual before it kills us."
  • "Kick a lot of ass from behind me so the mob thinks I did it."
