Archer nerfs are undeserved and further bury the class

Another Archer rant because Jesus Christ why in the world would PA nerf our PVE damage

It's been a bit less than a month since the original changes rolled out. The PvE improvements were noticeable and positive at first, but of course, good things only last so much with this development team. For once Archer felt like a class that could compete with the very top classes in PvE and I guess that pissed off some PA people and, thus, warranted severe action. Now, the Archer changes are anything but positive:

- Stamina nerfs completely killed the class' identity and resilience. Wheelchair Archer used to be a meme, now it's a sad portrayal of our reality
- CC removals left the class clunky and even more subpar when on 1v1 (as if it wasn't a terrible class at it already)
- The SA, FG and iframes just fall short and do not solve any of the core issues the class presented in PvP
- Steady Breath and Exhale sharing cooldown is just absolutely awful and I do not understand who in their right mind would think that's even a good idea in the first place
- The range reduction and overall nerf to the class' long-ranged attacks were understandable had you not included all the aforementioned points
- And now, with the damage nerfs in PvE, the class once again feels subpar in most end-game zones and even more of a victim when challenged by other players in Arsha

PA's Dev Commentary said that they listened to feedback. Have a look at the forums reader. Now log in to the game. I'm sure you will see that we're not only being ignored, but laughed at by a team of developers that clearly has no clue about their game nor humility to recognize their mistakes and actually address them based on the PLAYER feedback. I main Archer since I opened my account. It's the class that brought me to this game and rerolling is not an option to me.

PA, I know you're not reading, but please, at least don't mock us with your dev commentary saying you care and appreciate our feedback. Appreciating feedback is addressing the things we request within the necessary boundaries to achieve your vision. We don't want you to give us ALL, but at least don't take EVERYTHING while giving absolutely NOTHING in exchange.

Buffs PVE damage a ton.

Takes away CCs, movement, range, etc.

"Ok maybe they will revert some of this."

Reverts damage buffs.
