Archery Adjustments, AoM/PD and Champions

Dear Phoenix... Stop ruining archers as a whole and just fix the real problem at hand.. I don't understand why if rangers are to blame for archery being the way it is, to punish ALL archery across the board..

We're all just trying to play daoc.. we all know going into this game means you're going to get ganked, and rightfully so. you solo? well GG cause you're going to get rekt by 8mans that swear up and down: It's the sneaks that ruin 8v8 fights, but then continue to be lame and zerg everything down, then run from another 8man... Then you got solo/small mans jumping in on legit 8v8 fights and here comes the stereotypes of sneaks getting trashed as if you only gank. so it's a crap ton of finger pointing when deep down we ALL know what needs to be done, and it's NOT nerfing archery as a whole.. Sorry but this is just getting annoying..

Put it this way, since beta, my scout lost over 250 damage on his critshots, then they "Fix" scouts by making ALL archery benefit from higher bow spec, which made rangers the flavor of the month.. Now we're getting another nerf to archery as a whole rather than just fixing rangers specifically. Stop fluctuating the damage on scouts. As far as the snare getting a 30% decrease to the duration- it's w/e. it's still usable and critical in fights. but I would suggest removing the endurance drain that comes from it too. you can't just nerf the duration and leave the amount of stamina required alone... not if the nerf is shedding several seconds off the snare. if you're taking 30% off it's duration, then fix how much stamina it takes accordingly.

I don't understand how people can complain about a snare/root that comes from scouts, when animists have a better one that can be placed multiple times and doesn't take nearly the same amount of resources. or an arms that can do more damage at the same range as a scout but with polearm damage AND a snare that still doesn't take as much stamina as "Stop". I don't get the nerfs on phoenix sometimes, specially when we have all these OP builds and group synergies knowing damn well scouts don't roll in groups(groups with heals, cc and peels)((which is why we see archers group with other sneaks instead)) because of their synergy lacks by comparison. Then again this community QQs entirely too often about such simplistic things... I remember this game used to have a bane for every class. there was always a class that was made to beat you. now it's so custom and people are dying and HATE it so they QQ until devs address it which kills what daoc had in place. it was competitive and was intended to be as such. Solo caster getting shot by multiple archers SHOULD be a dead caster... stop complaining as if you're supposed to live through everything and die like the rest of us. take it on the chin and move on. cause we're getting odd nerfs that shouldn't even have happened.. We got people actually being serious in the thread stating to remove sneaks from the game............. ffs... are you kidding right now? I for real can't believe half of what these nerfs stemmed from.. it's sad. and tbh poor decision making skills from phoenix devs. don't get me wrong, they are doing a fine job, but to a point. I give credit where it's due, but not this time around.

**Scouts have been good, to terrible, to meh, to good again, and now we're going to be just "alright". We never had good or even halfway decent melee so stop forgetting that. Nor do we even want our melee to be buffed. Scouts were always about Archery primarily. Rangers were both archery and melee, Hunters were melee/pet, and meh archery. don't forget the fundamentals of archery classes please. we're going back and forth too much with these changes with archery and it always seems to be when I start playing my scout again. tired of arguing about what scouts used to be in daoc with people who forgot or never knew but act like they know best. go play a different game if you don't like dying to people who SHOULD be able to kill you specially if you're slipping up. Tired of casters dying and QQing about getting 3 tapped when THEY'VE BEEN DOING THAT TO EVERY CLASS since beta..**

Plus half this community and it's keyboard warriors troll so bad that people don't even want to comment how they really feel cause they get bullied out of the forums.
