They changed the way hate works so starting with Multishot isn't as smart anymore.

Think of the alternative, they could have removed Multishot from the game. Multishot is not the end all be all of Archer, we are still the top DD class and got our ws dmg buffed. Also if you are hitting Multishot + buff then waiting to hit Multishot again you are slowing your DPS. Archers were not nerffed.
It's more for solo play, really. It's our opener. I don't know any ARC who didn't open with Multishot. That's also the tradeoff. Pressing it once for a triple attack every 30 seconds and getting rid of the double attack every 15. Yeah, it'll be a nerf, but wasn't that the whole point of putting such a timer on it in the first place? It'll be a nerf to party play, sure. ARCs had trouble managing aggro anyway. It'll allow us to control DPS to something more manageable, while also taking away the tedium of having to wait 15 seconds to press it again while waiting to open on a mob in solo play.
