And when Archery did matter in Luclin they all had high DEX anyways from common multi-stat gear maxing out both STR and DEX anyways. That or STR is giving people ATK, while DEX does not give ATK, but increased chance for crits. And stat descriptions were always vague at best, and a crit is still increased archery damage even if it is rare.

As someone who rolled a ranger recently and put everything into STR I like this.. classic feature.

You don't seem to care what is classic at all.
There is a lot of in-era evidence in this thread that proves you wrong.
In this era, Dex was the modifying attribute for Archery. It is not a fact that can be argued.

Brad literally said such.
