Just like people thinking that Battle Magi use STR/INT then asking why they do such crap damage by Lv30.
How about introducing a new weapon type, like essence? They could have the Archer Legend have its own in-built Spirit Bow or something, and have multiple essences be slotted into it. The essence would be the upgradeable portion of the weapon. It could be neutral or elemental, and different combinations could yield interesting results like Elemental Composition's half-element effect.
The Spirit Bow could have like, 3 essence slots. It could work like this: 1st Job - 1 slot; 2nd Job - 2 slots; 3rd Job - 3 slots; 4th Job - A passive skill gives the Spirit Bow additional firepower, no extra slots. The essences could have varying effects (only 1 per essence), like...
Neutral
Fire Element
Ice Element
Lightning Element
HP Drain
Slow (low %
Blind (low %)
Heals Party Members arrow passes (INT-based)
Of course, Armour will have to be reworked...perhaps Archer equips could be coded to require DEX, and STR or INT but not both?
