I will just partially quote Kyrottimus to express my feels about archers since 1.0.8, i know this is a Warrior thread but it seems most issues affect all classes.

*Spells like Repetition shot, ..., are not practical at all to use anymore
*Weapon speed no longer seems to dictate spell-piggybacking after a normal attack
*Movement canceling spells/buffs really throws archer combat "flow" out the window.

In term of balance i find it better, having a warrior on you often ends in archer/mage's death. In term of fun, i think something was lost for all.
