I'm not so sure that those mobs have been nerfed, it's just that the trickster has some major advantages over archers at that level. I've noticed as I level that my STR stat has gone up either 4 or 5 each level, while DEX and END do the same, usually 4. With also doing DoT, they seem to carry the power of a fighter, and with the finishing moves, they are a quick killing machine. Also, the +9 trickster weapon does more damage than the archer weapons do at +9, so you should be killing quicker.
