Speaking of Archers, I think the whole idea behind the "Archer" branch needs to be revamped. There is a reason why there are so few Archer classes, because the idea is hard to work with. Bowmen use bows. Crossbowmen use crossbows. Mercedes uses what is basically 2 crossbows. Wild Hunter also uses a crossbow, but while moving.
The classes themselves are limited to the kind of weapons they use, and aside from maybe Slingshots and Javelins, I can't think of any other kind of weapon that an archer should use. They need to expand the idea, maybe by renaming the branch to something else so that they have more to work with.
Angelic Buster and Xenon are clear signs that classes don't have to be connected to their roots. An archer doesn't have to be ranged, it just has to use Dex. So you could expand archers to include nimble classes like Acrobats or Dancers. Or nature or spirit based magic like a Druid or Bard.
So many unused ideas, so much potential. Give us more archer classes!
