1.20 destroyed the game again ?

[GreatLeviathan]

Pretty much this.

Oh, and I would like to take this space to mock the OP for posting out of pure ignorance of the class. Claiming certain abilities were gone.


Not a game mechanic issue, its a server/lag issue



You sir are a liar,
Heavy Shot optimal level : 1
Recast time : 10 seconds TP cost 1000
Delivers a ranged attack, must be at least 8 yalms away from target for use in combo.



No its not, if you had a clue before you made a troll thread you would know its simply been changed to Barrage.



You must be staring at the screen letting the drool drip down your chin instead of acting then. Initiate light shot.....auto attack.....light shot.....its literally a 5 second process

So multishot is gone.. so is the original barage skill that did a descent amount of damage..
So yeah useless now..
Also everyone keep in mind that the archer's autoatack is USELESS..
Not like with the gld where he waves his sword an extra time..
We don't shoot an extra arrow. he does a punsh on the enemy that does 20 damage.

Umm, kinda "simple" aren't you? Its not gone its renamed. I would hardly call it useless. 5 shots at 150ish a piece with cobolt arrows. So if 800+ damage in one ability is a waste, well then your totally right, the game is destroye, I mean its so bad, if I were you I would asolutely quit right now and never look back.




You sir are still a liar,
Heavy Shot optimal level : 1
Recast time : 10 seconds TP cost 1000
Delivers a ranged attack, must be at least 8 yalms away from target for use in combo.

Actually, in the moogle fight with HQ cobalt arrows a non-critical shot does anywhere from 220 to 285. That spikes ARC as the highest DPS in the game.

The OP is probably the laziest person I have ever seen. He logged, looked at his WS bar, got confused, then rageposted like a child.

Also, let's keep this post in context - the OP has only ARC at 50, 1 other class past 30, and no other jobs beyond 20, no Ifrit win, no moogle win, no darkhold win. You have zero-to-no experience.

Multishot/Trifurcate have been unified as Barrage. The buff allows Archer to shoot 5 arrows on the next Light Shot. It also costs nothing and is governed only by a recast timer. It is currently ARCs best DPS tool.

What used to be Barrage is now Quick Nock's combo effect. Used alone, Quick Nock is what it used to be. At the end of a combo, however, it becomes five-fold attack on the target alone. There's your old-school Barrage. Still quite the useful WS actually.

Archer's Light Shot is working perfectly fine and in the same way it's been working since 1.18. The CD timers being screwy on your action bar is your lag issue. Simply restart your game, and it is fixed. If not - then I would check with your ISP.

Archers are the preferred DD in the Moogle fight - they have the capacity to deliver 100+ DPS in the hands of a proficient player.

Just about everything you say in your OP is ill-informed, nonsensical and ultimately inconsequential.
