Probably. I was just referencing the fact I haven't retired in many long years while you used to do so with much more frequency. Then again they've only made it easier to get xp since my retirement (from the game) so anything is possible. How much xp you got on your main?

Yep, my current build has been pretty effective against the archers
(click to show/hide)

However my best anit-ranged build has to be my lvl 37 build, I could block forever and run faster than the ranged, so groups of them couldn't surround me easily + very high wpf meant easier kills.

Something like this might work well, 12str is possible now with 1hs like iberian mace moved to 12 diff :D

You can still get shot to shit if unaccustomed to this type of build,  requires patience and well timed strikes when killing multiple ranged,
I prefer knightly kite with this build, light weight but still very good stats, you want to be able to move quickly, so light armor like mail shirt with fur is best.

Just imagine 5 guys with this build doing co-ordinated strikes on those pesky ranged!  :mrgreen:

Edit, you can also use that same build for a dagger hero
So hold on a minute- you have a lvl 37 char currently? Or are those pod levels?

Best anti-archer tactic is to press P then F1 right in front of them, it takes some getting used to, but eventually you can completley block there view, especially if they are 1st person pew pews, which i think they all are, of course this does not work vs 2 archers at once, so good luck, godspeed.
Always do sober what you said you’d do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut

It's the friendly archers that you have to watch out for anyhow.

Used to be easy dealing with archers, even nests full of ranged scum. Until they learned awareness skill. It's the way of evolution and now they've evolved. I was happy to take part in their exterminaton before archers aquired sentience. If there was a way I'd force first person view on them  and  low fov. Nothing to do with precision, is all about that tunnel view to reduce awareness and make them puke.

As I've always said, you're a my old friend if you're supporting ranged on the battlefield, friendly or not. You lads brought this scourge upon yourself.

Decent shield, good surviveability, some crossbow to shoot back if needed and enough athletics to dodge well enough.
