Hello forums! First time posting here.
(I'd like to apologize for my english beforehand. It's not my native language and I'm bound to make mistakes, so please, bear with me.)

First of all my main class is and will always be the LNC/DRG. Recently, though, I switched to ARC/BRD so I could play with a friend who's also returning now. We've been leveling together and are both about level 25 right now. And here is where it gets nasty.

I'm feeling weak as an archer. I feel like I don't do damage or don't contribute enough to dungeon runs or primal runs (even though I've only done one really).
As a LNC/DRG, I can burst stuff right off my first rotation. Now, I understand that ARC/BRD is about sustained damage, but still... Is there anything a poor level 25 archer can do to step her damage up? Be it by getting better equipment or by improving my personal skills (which are kiiiiinda lacking right now, I'll admit)?

Thanks in advance for your help!
