Divine dips is a symptom.
Basic QoL isn't.

they really don't need a nerf IMO, and are pretty easy to defeat if you know what you're doing

Real talk @the people who think that archers are strong because of the free feats:

1: Equivalent level fighter gets more feats.
2: Archers get the exact same amount of feats as regular rangers, plus ammo crafting.
3: Archers are strong because they hit everything, but if you change that they're a terrible archer.
4: Removing bonus feats won't make Archers less likely to hit everything, it'll just make ranger a non choice for any AA build that isn't aiming for a divine build, which is the crux of what you're trying to prevent and will still happen (which if you prevent will just be bard paladin aa instead.)
Bane's tyranny is known throughout the continent, and his is the image most seen as the face of evil.
