Archer Revamp Nerfs - [09/13/2016]
KTERA: Archer adjustments planned on 9/13/16
Archer Adjustment Schedule
On 9/13/16 during temporary server maintenance.
Archer Adjustment Details
1) Thunderbolt - Increased damage when monster has lower HP has been removed.
2) Thunderbolt - PvP damage will be adjusted lower. (not specified yet)
3) Rapid Fire - Glyph of Power will be lowered from 50% to 20%.
4) Rapid Fire - Glyph of Persistence will be lowered from 30% to 15%.
Source
Of course they would make adjustments sooner or later. It’s like how they nerfed Sorcerer’s Lighting Bolt damage by 15% because it was way too powerful at the time. They always do additional tweaks to classes after major class changes in case nobody has noticed this predictable pattern already. More adjustments are continuing down the road so just sit tight and wait folks.

Also on the topic of PvP yeah sure thunderbolt won't one hit now but tbh we all saw this comming. Would have been fun to watch the look on people's face after you landed an explosive trap though XD and don't get me started on the end of the RoA combo.
Rapid Fire total damage with glyph after revamp 5871
Rapid Fire total damage after revamp nerf 4110
If my math is correct.
I'm not disappointed at all with this nerf(Unless we get less damage with the rapid fire than before the revamp), We don't need any buff at all. I always wanted the dash. Also I'm no agree with the iframe with directions(personal opinion) Its better if you have to move the camera takes a bit more of know-how/Skill to iframe.
that's like offering to renovate your house but lowering the houses market price after.
This isn't particularly that big of a nerf for archers, it's just toned down so it's not too crazily high that the future class that gets revamped won't meet up to archer's revamp standards. The PvP balance was really needed and for the PvE side, it was for balancing.
Just because they got TB and RF nerfed doesn't mean archer became bad. It's not like that nerf deterred their damage THAT much in PvE. Do you know how much DPS output archers were able to put with the revamp? The Rapid fire was broken as the reset rate (and damage) was high enough for you to use as an absolute filler while only rotating your 3 R (rf,roa,ra) and TB off cd. And knowing how OP TB is before this nerf, you'd basically get your crits high using TB and having bloodlust effects from it but it's not like it TB won't hit as hard because it still does. Archers are still top DPS in KTERA fyi when they put this nerf and they do a lot more than ninja.
Another thing was that the revamp caused archer to be too OP in PvP. TB mostly one shots from behind (unless you're metal plate or full conflate), barely anyone survives ROA combo and RF does more damage it's an option to use it in your rotations.
So, from this nerf you still get from the revamp:
Not much of a nerf and doesn't impact overall DPS for archer. So what's the crying about?
The base damage actually still the same as the revamp's it's the new OP glyph you get from the revamp (50%) that gets nerfed. So instead of 5871 (glyph with the 50% dmg increase) it's actually 4698.8 with the nerfed glyph. Which is still more than our current RF: 2861 vs 3914; With glyph: 3147.1 vs 4698.8.
