I mean, back when it had the Darkness and such, then it would be worthwhile because that's something you wouldn't ordinarily get, but now you're just getting something a tiny bit earlier than you would have, and for the majority of 4th job skills 1 point isn't going to make a huge difference. Not to mention the skills the point go into are restricted so a lot of them don't even go into useful skills. For archers, the Hat's point goes to SE, and the Glove's go to Bow Expert, but really, the benefit of a Zhelm or SCG is going to be way better than that one skill point, so these will still be unused. On the other hand, the one that we'll all likely be using, the overall, goes into Hamstring/Blind, the arguably least useful skill in the entirety of Archer 4th. The only one that might be used enough to count on is the bow, and still the 10% chance and fact that you can only own one at a time makes this really hard.
Though I do agree with some, I would say when the weapons gave Darkness or such, they were overpowering.
10% chance to stun an enemy, for example, is pretty broken for some classes. If I had that, then mathematically my Boomerang Step stuns, guaranteed, no failure.
Perhaps if they gave something different, like a buff, Blessing of the Archer or Thief, whatever. They could have done alot, though, they still can.
