Excuse me while I laugh my ass off at all you poor suckers who, like every single patch to date, have messed-up archery builds due to a patch.
No longer due I have to worry about playing a class that changed literally every patch, so excuse me while I enjoy my level 33 shielder.
So, some sympathy for you poor sods, but this should not come as a surprise considering this sort of thing is pretty much standard with every update. You have different rules for archery every single patch, you have bugs with every single update, you have a storm of patches that take a week or three to stabilize with every single update. This should be standard expectations by now.
I do not miss being an archer. Honestly, to hell with a class that is under constantly changing mechanics.
Maybe my memory fails me but I don't remember any change during the last year+ that made builds entirely useless.
How about cavalry being messed up by the radically different riding prerequisites, or the PD lowering wpf making several builds suddenly screaming about too low of a proficiency? How about those poor bastards with high PD builds that the last set of mechanics punished anything past 6PD due to the friction values and large advantage of WPF agi archer builds equaling the same damage at anything past point blank and WITH the added advantage of more accuracy?
