Hamstring Nerfed

I recently noticed that the 4th job Bowmaster skill, Hamstring, no longer works on either normal mobs or bosses. After a bit of asking around, I was informed that Hamstring was never meant to work on bosses like Anego or Bigfoot and has been altered to reflect that. This bothers me for a lot of reasons, like:

Why was it never announced?

A question I get a lot is whether to max Hamstring or Phoenix first. I tell people to max Hamstring if they intend to do area bosses. This is because for archers, who have low mobility, a slower boss is easier to pin. Hamstring helps with that.

That's if it was still a working function of the skill.

Now, as it is, Hamstring is useless and a waste of skill points. If anyone (like myself) was not in the loop or following an older guide or well intended advice, they would be putting points into the skill for nothing. The lack of awareness about this change can lead to misspent skill points that could be put into Phoenix or the newly buffed Hero's Will instead. I wouldn't have put points into Hamstring over Phoenix if not for the fact that it worked on area bosses.

ie: at Bigfoot/Anego/Samurai/BGA/CWK pirate, Hamstring slows down the boss enough for me to pin it or run far back enough to stay out of damage range. This is one of the fundamentals of being an archer. You're a ranged character that does your damage from afar to avoid being hit because of your squishy HP. Hamstring aids in that. Hamstring not working on bosses makes it harder for BMs to train at area bosses, which are a main source of their EXP. So it essentially nerfs BMs and is detrimental to the very play style of them.

So I have 20+ points in a skill that was helpful but has been made useless. No BM I know uses Hamstring for normal mobs; most BMs don't grind but prefer to boss instead because of the nature of the job. Putting points in Phoenix would help me kill bosses faster and I would have maxed it by now if I didn't put points in Hamstring instead.

I don't know who decided to change it, but I get the feeling that it was something someone might think is a minor tweak, but in reality it reduces QOL for BMs. Hamstring wasn't anywhere near OP. It was just a convenient, handy thing that late game BMs can use. I don't understand why it was changed so suddenly and quietly. The game has survived 4+ years with Hamstring being the way it is and not breaking the game. Please change it back, or at least recompense BMs with 4th Job SP resets to set points out of this now utterly useless skill.

Btw, it's not working on normal mobs either.

Thanks!
