The problem is with 120wpf you wont hit shit, and when compared to cav were your horse costs 10K (same as a good bow plus arrows) its a no brainer.
:shock: 10k?
I would say 20 - 35 k. Usually you see horses somewhere between the courser and the large warhorse on the servers.
Or is it that different in NA?

The reason why archers don't hybridize is because they are afraid that as soon as they play melee, they'll find out how boring archery is.Not really. The reason is they are arfaid to lose some shooting capabilities and to become worse archers than pure archers. And as they shoot more than fight, they prefer to stay with good shooting.

If any archer could have some melee capabilities without having to sacrifice shooting capabilities, everyone would be a hybrid.

They lied. A shield is fucking worthless, I only use it because it makes my ashwood longer.

But seriously though, people saying "get a shield" to deal with archers got no idea what they are talking about. Better to get 7 or 8 athletics and go shieldless if you want to hunt archers. Throw in 2 PT and it's even better.
Archer response: Don't chase after the archer, just use the shield to not die.My response to that: Shields are still worse. Shields only cover on side, you can still get shot from the other 3. The movement speed loss is from shields is not worth it. I have an easier time dodging arrows with 4 athletics and no shield than 6 and with one. Besides, when you start dodging the arrows from one archer, you automatically start dodging ANY arrows coming your way, no matter if you are aware or not. Using a shield requires a lot more awareness.
Also, in battle you HAVE to kill all enemies. Not chasing archers isn't an option.

When I was shielder with only 6 athletics, I never had any problems with archers. All you have to do is to make sure that most of enemy ranged are at one side, shield even blocks projectiles when you don't press RMB. And playing without shield requires more awareness - you have to keep your eye on enemies to know where are they standing, where are your teammates and when is a good moment too engage, so that enemy ranged are busy and will not shoot you.
I can say for sure that with 6 athletics and shield I felt way more safe than now with 10 athletics without shield.
PS: or maybe im just a noob ninja :D

No, archery is broken. It takes me more than one arrow to head shot people nowadays with 6 PD and MW horn bow. not to mention arrows are so slow people can literally dodge arrows point blank. When 2handers aren't scared of walking up-hill directly into volleys of arrows, there is a problem.
