I suggest remove the +1 accuracy from last patch and give longbow +1 speed again.
The problem with the longbow isn't its accuracy, but its speed.
Due to the slow speed you hardly have half a second to aim for your target, which means your reticule almost starts growing the moment you are ready to shoot.
As we are all supposed to aim for heads now it would be kind.

I actually find the speed isn't a problem. I find the lack of accuracy is the downfall for the longbow.

The new accuracy is fine imho, it doesn't change much but it gives a bit more of an advantage over the old one.
Sure the speed is a pain in the arse because of the low hold time but at the very least there should be a better way to fix it than to decrease a much needed accuracy buff and add 1 speed, which won't make enough difference to remove the effect, you need at least a three increase to see a change anyway. (From previous tests when I lobbied for it to be a minimum of 50 speed)
Also Bjord, unbeknown because of your long absense, there are a surprising amount of archers who have melee capabilities, even myself would you believe, has the ability to successfully block incoming attacks and even fight back and kill my aggressor, despite having the wish to speed off into the distance in such a case I wasn't ready for the attacker.
Albeit there are those who don't have much past a hammer and have little in the way of being able to attack back, but last I knew, blocking continually is a massive pain in the arse. :P

+1
i want +1 dmg and +1 speed :)

Don't agree with you Tenne, in my opinion the accuracy of the longbow is fine, as long as you shoot almost immediately.
But what doesn't work is aiming for a second without losing the accuracy and I doubt that more accuracy to the bow will fix that. Whereas with more speed you would get some more time to aim.
Btw, I didn't recognise any difference with the longbow now.

Why longbow speed is 50 while Rus bow is 58? Sohuld have make longbow to 54 or something since its the most expensive

Yeah, the one thing bows need right not is more speed
Not like they can't pierce through light mail anymore
