By Druid do you mean Conjurer?

As an Archer you shouldn't need to kite single mobs your level. You will need to do some kiting to finish the class quests though. One of the major advantages of Archer/Bard over the magic dps classes is the ability to attack constantly while moving. The later Bard abilities are really only useful in parties, so that is something to keep in mind. There are also a couple of dots to keep track of.

The melee dps take a lot of movement to keep your positioning correct. I've heard Monk is harder than Dragoon due to needing to build up and keep stacks.

Personally I get most bored using Thaumaturge/Black Mage but Archer/Bard is the easiest in terms of not having to worry about spell interrupts.
