Many Archer builds suffer during the leveling process due to the apparent lack of AoE present. For many builds, the only thing that could even qualify as AoE would be Oblique Shot, and even then, it’s just a two target cleave.
My suggestion is to qualify Oblique Shot (Archer) and Split Arrow (Scout) as AoE abilities and having the AoE Attack Ratio statline added to them. Each additional point accrued in the AoE Attack Ratio stat would add another bounce to the mentioned abilities above.I.e, having an additional 2 AoE Attack Ratio would allow Oblique Shot to bounce 3 times instead of once.
This would help to ease some of the leveling pains and to bring the playing field, in comparison to other classes in relation to AoE, to a bit of a more leveled state.
