Why archer melee power reduced? I thought u hate only ranged shots, not archers?
-
They didn't?

Which nerf are you talking about? Archers' melee power was only buffed recently by making shorswords 0 slot.

I can't understands this thread :(

No. They were yanking your chain.

Actually, in an indirect way, archer melee was nerfed. When they increased the weight of ranged kit to address kiting they also substantially reduced the speed bonus obtainable in melee. Unless said ranged puke abandons their ranged kit; and I can certainly understand why they wouldn't want to drop their primary gear; their melee-damage potential is less than previously possible.
The new zero-slot weapons aren't really a solution either as they are all swords. Pretty much worthless without significant PS and WPF investment. The hammer, mace and flanged mace are still the best options for a pure archer in my opinion. (But my heart bleeds purple vulture shit for them.)

Even with 6 PS , I can't kill armored guys above 50 body armor with swings ... Always have to make lame stabs for kill those tanks ... I think WM should be buffed a bit for hybridize more ... Have only 66 in 1handed... QQ i know , but that's really archer's problem ingame :)
That's more the problem of 1h cut weapons having way too low damage and not you having too little PS/wpf.
Try aiming for the head, though. 1h cut may suck against armour, but the bonus damage on head hits is ridiculous. Held attacks also seriously increases your damage.
