Warriors are nerfed like archers are, but archers' nerf made barbs even defenseless than before, all the people asking for archer evasion nerf have probably underestimated basic archery trees.
As marks, now you've to play full range. So many has removed points in DS (so arcana strike/serpent is often ommitted), no more points in evasive tactics, spell elude, sotw, confuse is uneeded when you play full range etc. Depending on your setup that let marks around 10-15 power points and tons of discipline points.
Marks playing in fort wars now have generally more points in archery, playing always full range, with high conc and dext from long and short bow passives/buffs, even point shot is no more a sacrifice. Archers' hits have never been more accurate than now, same with the damage.
Now the side effect on warriors in fort wars is the following : playing full range allows you to be out of warriors' areas if you play properly, so archers can retaliate to them, and due to their range, warriors (especially barbs) often never come back in their ranks - BIG difference compared to before.
