Our main skills are all getting a 10-15% nerf, some up to 25%.

Also, why the hell are skills that weren't buffed in the March 20th patch getting nerfed?

Earth Shatter is getting a 10% nerf. 

Sunfall is getting a 10% nerf.

Where was Archer overperforming so much after the last nerfs that we get nerfed as much as Awakened Wizard? Also why nerf all these skills instead of fixing the awful design oversight of Steady Breath having a +12 ranged ap buff (which stacks). They combined the AP buffs in the March 20th patch and forgot to remove this one. Now they use it as a baseline or possibly they have no idea because no one plays Archer? What the hell is going on. 

There needs to be balance in the universe. They need to nerf underperforming classes so they can use those resources to buff hash, sage, striker, ...

There are many issues with recent "balance" patches, but for me two stick out:

- There's no communication from PA whatsoever. Literally nothing. They are just nerfing the class without any explanation.

- What is archer's identity? By that I mean: what are our core strenghts? We have no damage, cannot keep up with new fast classes, we have no protection... We're no longer nimble long distance low protection glass cannon.

It's not even about PvP - archer is dead there for us mere mortals, but whole PA's approach to the issue, lack of communication and no respect to it's playerbase is extremely discouraging.

Here's what archer did.

The intern they hired this time to do class work is very incompetent.

No pvp\pve dmg, no deff, no speed, no range, no stamina, no grab, no normal iframe. Archer after 6 years literally has NOTHING of a strong point anymore. At all. Other classes have at least one strong side (or it's a zerk where every side is strong). PA makes some really crazy trash even by its standards. What the hell is going on?!
