Title: Make long bow/rus bow 1 slot again with new athletic system
Post by: POOPHAMMER on October 31, 2012, 03:18:45 pm: The idea being, since they can not kite around like fairies anymore, their defensive options after this patch are very limited. Most archers that use these have to resort to a 0 slot weapon, which is ok in my eyes when they were able to run fast, turn around and shoot like a pansy.

Now that they can not run, or even really fight back, limiting them to either a 1 slot weapon, one quiver and their bow, or a silly little 0 slot peasant item to keep their maximum pew pew.

Give them a fighting chance, because as much as I am against archers and all, taking away their ability to kite along with limiting their melee options on top of that is pretty damn harsh.

Athletics reduces xbow WPF as well?

Post by: Grumpy_Nic on October 31, 2012, 03:54:01 pm: To be honest, I've got no idea if ATH only reduces archery or wpf in general. Anyway, for arba I need at least 3 slots (including bolts) and cannot take most polearms/2h weapons for melee. If I want more bolts 4 slots are occupied. So I'm asking for a 1 slot arba while we're at it. No need to make a separate thread for it.

Also kiting for arba is not possible.

Post by: Achelous on October 31, 2012, 10:20:45 pm: After reading all the nerfs and trying archery in the new patch, its obvious you have to have ridiculous amount of strength and no athletics (which makes no sence) to be accurate. So the archers stuck with Rus bows or Longbow have to use a 0 slot weapon which is utterly useless against balanced builds with athletics that out footwork your 2inch swings. I think this nerf was blown out of proportion and needs to be fixed.
