Archer damage needs to be turned down.

It is not okay for a ranger to do 700 damage out of the box + disease proc + damage add resulting in over 800 damage total from a single hit vs a fully buffed tank.

A caster, the purest form of DPS class, can't stealth, is squishy AF, has no HP, no survieability, can't climb, etc.. has to do 2 casts, where one of it is a 50% debuff in order to only do a 600 damage nuke vs the same target. So how on earth is this archer damage not turned down already?

It is obviously broken OP. There isnt even a discussion about it, everyone (except the archer players) agree. Heck we even voted to turn it down in the survey, yet nothing is happening for weeks now?

Why? When can we expect an archer nerf? How strong will the nerf be? What is the reason for the hold up?

We need answers.

Maybe I’d agree if you changed it to Ranger dmg. My Hunter isn’t even close to that dmg.

archers only do 700+ damage out of the box with critical shot.. casters on the other hand do 600+ per cast on debuffed targets all day long.

explain hows that broken af?

only 1 crit shot can land on a target.. on the other hand multiple casters can enjoy the 600+ nukes on debuffed targets all day long.

Rather than nerf Archer Dmg i would suggest to unstealh the archer as soon as they start bowing.
That would give some time to rupt them in BG (helping mitigate Steatlh archer assist)
and give some time to avoid them for visible that are archer zerged at every hot spot inf FZ.

Including add damage, and procs, I took a 1k+ dmg.
On a Thane, full MP.
I also think it is too much.

Did you use your shield, engage and instant casts to render the ranger useless?
How many HP do you have, do you have IP? Would the ranger able to kill you before you are in melee distance?

What I do after taking the hit is irrelevant. My perception is too high damage.

There are no bows with disease proc or I would have one.
