Also, my two favourite archery moves are gone as well. (When I say gone I mean moved to a higher level). Quick Noch and Wide Volley. Admittedly, they were a bit OP since with them I could handle about five monster, that where around 3 levels before me, very easily by spamming them two.

Finally, multishot is gone. literary gone. Do I have to save up loads of archery guild points to buy it again?
Because a lot of the changes were made with the intention of making classes more unique, a lot of things had to go and a lot of things had to be 'shifted' to different levels etc. While it might be annoying in the short term, you have to remember that MMO's are nothing if they aren't balanced right, and I've yet to hear someone who has played for more than a week that hasn't enjoyed the changes overall.

Archer was always known to be overpowered, though, so it makes sense that it won't be as easy as it was before if that's what you have focused on.

As for magic, I'm glad that they have minimised the amount of magic you can use on different classes (eg. Stoneskin). I never liked that every class had become a re mage. I still use Cure on occasion and I keep Raise handy, but that's it. Being able to use Protect, Stoneskin and Thundara as a Gladiator never made sense to me.
