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.
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.
