Well, you "killed" an option to be full STR build. There are players who still prefer 36/3 with no WM but they are far from their previous effectiveness and takes ton of skill to be on par with now, much better 27/12 or 30/9 builds.
I'm not saying to remove pure archers, but I don't believe that pure archer should ever get more than 1:1 k/d. Currently, those pesky high level russian archers have 30/3 scores on siege. And ton of points and valor sometimes. Which is stupid, because they are mostly useless despite high number of kills and damage dealt.
Melee archer used to be doable, before you raised quiver weight to deal with kiters. Now melee archer feels like a tincan, with small portion of tincan survivability. Now saying that melee archer should be capable at melee like pure melee builds, but currently it's not even comparable.
