It is nice that they gave reasoning for the skill changes but I disagree with them on a certain level.
Quoted:
"Bowmasters’ damage is low due to a lack of attack from their buffs and passives. In addition, we received a lot of complaints that Arrow Blaster was difficult to use compared to the 4th job Hurricane skill. Therefore we increased their attack and moved Arrow Platter and Hurricane around."
I actually felt Arrow Blaster gave bowmasters a bit more of a challenge personally.
There is one thing more that they maybe do not realize. When you are doing the current high-end bosses you have to move/dodge alot. With Blaster you could continue to attack because you would have a turret but after this patch that turret does almost no DMG anymore. I hope they will look into that and compensate by either boosting Hurricane slighty (more) or give another passive DMG boost.
Overall I really like that patch! This definitely gives me hope for a more balanced game in the future.
