As I've played as magic archer for most of m levels I can say that it's slightly weaker then magic users (pure ones via sorcerer) it get's the ability to make up for it via skills. After all you can basically make it into a magic using weapon of mass destruction via it's enhancement ability. While magic archer does have issues with placing too much points in magic defense (would have  had two points be redistributed to attack and magic attack) it's skills MORE then make up for the slack. Plus having a ranged user with a targeting retina is just so much easier then having to try and aim at a moving target. Sure if I were to start over I would probably try a 10 mage 45 sin/ 45 sorc before switching to magic archer just to pump up the attack stats as much as possible but, even then it's not necissary. I don't have to kill a boss instantly I just have to be able to kill him quickly. And with the exception of Evil Eyes I have yet to encounter an enemy or boss that doesn't instantly MELT with a fully charged Magic Archer. Save a couple enemies that have specific weakpoints and even then  they pose very little threat. The only boss I had issues with was a cursed dragon and that was before I had a good magic bow.
