o_O people are still complaining about the archer adjustment lol? I've been doing leves lving up and I still have yet to notice a difference with the change. People are seriously complaining over nothing and don't even realize the advantage that an ARC/BRD has as a class/job itself.

Let's look at other classes.

PLD. tank with no means of regaining own MP, needs a BRD
WAR, DD/tank depending on role, must stay near enemy to deal dmg
PUG, Single target DD that must stay near taget to deal dmg
DRG, Close range target that deals dmg near enemy
BLM, Heavy Hitting DD that deals damage from afar using MP
WHM, Heals party
BRD, ability to DD, and support party through increasing accuracy, increasing TP gains, refreshing the pty, and the ability to increase HP for a limited amount of time. They also have a wide range of combos that are easy to pull off which is as simple as staying 8 yalms away from the target. They can also deal burst dmg while also using an ability to shed enmity off them.

ARC/BRD offers the following enfeebles that are easily to pull off because of it's simple combo procedures:
Heavy=Decent
Bind=Ok if there is communication
Blind=Good
Bleed=Decent
AOE Stun=Good

Combo Wise they have
Heavy Shot-Leaden Arrow-Wide Volley
Heavy Shot-Quick Nock-Rain of Death
Piercing Arrow-Shadow Bind
Piercing Arrow-Gloom Arrow-Blood Letter

Seriously they have 4 combos, 3 of which are 3 steps, with the recast as
10/30/80 seconds
10/180/30 seconds
20/40 seconds
20/10/80 seconds

On top of that they also obtain the "Barrage" abilities which pretty much gives them a burst strike with their next Light shot action.

So sure maybe BRD isn't top DD but ask yourself, why should it be, it has support abilities to make up for the fact it doesn't grant high numbers. I just don't really understand what all this complaining is about for ARC/BRDs I've been leveling it before and after this udpate and at lv 40 I have yet to see an issue or an underpowered sense from this class. It's been fun to play and while it's a little more work to pull off combos solo I know how much easier it'll be in a group setting.

But ya, I don't know if it's sarcasm but I realllly don't understand what's the big deal about waiting 2 seconds to use Light Shot again lol.
