    FYI.. Archer is far from "great" as it has fallen to the lowest DD currently. Players who originally leveled ARC from launch (fotm lol... just because your new, doesn't mean we all are) may have thought they were going something similar to the DD capacity that RNG brought to XI. I personally had hoped ARC would not take such a strong nerf so that it could remain competitive as a DD against the 'jobs' that the other DD classes will get. As we are becoming BRD and therefore moreso support in our 'job', our best bet for maintaining competitive dps would have likely been from remaining in ARC.

    The recommendation to start leveling something else is not only valid, but an obvious inevitability. Since ARC currently is doing the lowest dps, it would make sense to level a more viable DD. Soon ARC will become really useful either as a DD or later in support as BRD, but right now, you'd be better off bringing something else to the party, especially if there's already one ARC there. Aside from that, if you only had one class.. it was time to start leveling something else anyway..
    My archer is 50 retard.. sorry the forums don't update properly!

    2.. leveling something just because its currently the op class.. is exactly what FOTM is... self'd...

    You seem to be a little too slow for me to warrant going back-n-forth with.. congratulations on defining what a FOTM is, guess you just learned that and want to cry 'FOTM!' all over the forums now.. Try actually showing where I said anything about leveling just because a class is op. I even said I leveled my ARC to 50 since launch.. but no I get it.. screaming 'FOTM!' 'FOTM!' is a lot more fun than reading comprehension.. ->

    I have been playing Archer the day the game was officially released, Archer is my favorite class, I find all other classes boring. I leveled my two sub-classes(Carpenter, Botany) to support my Archer. This has been a huge blow, I will admit we were a bit over powered before, but this is just stupid now. My LS is starting to only want to take lancers to Ifrit, because they support more and out dps us. I still enjoy playing archer, but sadly we are being phased out. I can only hope Bard is needed for parties.

    No, it's not. Let's look at some examples:

    "Well, ARC sucks now. Time to go level literally anything else so I can be useful again."

    ^Not FOTM, just indignant.

    "ARC is dead! Long live LNC!"

    ^FOTM all the way.

    "They fixed it, now it sucks" is part of FOTM, sure, but only part. There's not a trope with that name? Really?

    Well, I'm pretty new to this game, had it maybe a month now, but I've barely been playing up until recently.

    I had leveled all the classes up to a certian point as to where I got sick of them, just to find out what I liked in this game. I generally prefer Archer/ranged classes over anything, but I decided to try go for a different approach and play melee, for a bit of variance (albeit it failed miserably).

    I started playing ARC ~3-4 days before 1.19 hit, and I loved it. It was tons of fun, so I decided I'm gonna keep on keeping on.
    Then Bard was announced. My dreams were coming true (also dem harpbow things look awesome). &&& then 1.19 hit.
    Do I feel like I hit less? Yes.
    Can I visibly notice in parties that I'm hitting less (minus Multi-shot with 3 arrows nocked) Hells yes.
    Do I care? Noooope!

    The class is a ton of fun, and although I have noticed a lot less people with Bows on their back in Ul'dah, I don't care - at all. It is only 1.19, there's a looooong way to go, and if the class is fun, play it!

    Archer gained nothing from the update, we only got nerfed. Archer is pure damage and as such should be one of the top 2 DDs in the game, now we are the bottom. No point in playing archer until this is addressed.

    Even bloodletter's DoT that was giving the most damage tend to miss so often now.

    Oh yeah, one thing, i can deal double damage with propers buff ! but my double damage is still doing 1/4 of others DD damage !

    Try this:
    Trifurcate > Raging Strike II > Foeseeker: 700-900 Dmg on a lv 50 beatman mob.

    My lancer hits same rank mobs for 120-190. (lv 50 polearm)
    My archer hits same level mobs for 100-160. (i'm using level 42 dated blue arrows since no cobalt arrows are available, I think my damage would match using lv 50 arrows )

    Anyone think that multishot not paying TP according to the number of arrows nocked was an unnecessary nerf?
