Archer life was just really rough in 1.65. Maybe if Yamyam had not spent so much time outside apk emain in the treelines then this change might have been delayed.
having capped melee resists and a chain wearer, I didn't think getting hit for 840 after slam was too low.
Probably had a crit, more like 600 w/ 280+ crit
You can't crit on a Critical Shot - and 600 on a regular shot is impossible on chain I would reckon (my cap isn't even that high, but I'm only 40 Archery)
