Archery here actually takes some sort of skill. Also high wpf, around 150+, does help.Respectfully, dealing with completely random shots flying off in whichever direction until you have the WPF to actually have shots land somewhere relative to where you aim them doesn't require skill, it requires patience. The patience of a bloody saint.

Or a deathwish by getting extremely close so your arrows don't have as much of a chance to deviate as they might otherwise, but yeah. Skill would be calculating speed, distance, range, relative movement, prioritizing targets, opportunities and positioning relative to opponents to keep a clear line of sight, support your team well and stay alive.
Most of which I can do. Landing hits with arrows that fly off target after 10 feet and continue further from that point I cannot rectify with skill :P

Yeah! They just released their 1.0 version (and a hotfix) it's not only remade the map and factions, but added quite a few items and events to boot. Uses the functionality of some other mods, and overall is pretty damn nice.

Patience is a skill, and a virtue!Yeah, I'm fairly good at calculating trajectories. Easy enough when it's actually accurate in native, but in CRPG especially starting a new character the degree of inaccuracy makes me useless in most team fights considering I can easily hit a teammate if the arrow deviates a foot or two in a direction I don't want it to go in -_-

Also have you seen the new mod they've been developing for GoT, for Warband? The graphics are amazing.

Yes because Legolas is an accurate representation of how archery should be.
When we talk about archery accuracy, are we literally discussing the centre-point of the reticule and how small it is?
Because I briefly tried a STF STR build archer with ~150WPF and ~8PD with light armour, and the reticule was comparible enough to my 170WPF, 6PD AGI build that I'm considering trying out a strength build.
Or are we also discussing the length one can hold the small reticule before it starts expanding; Higher WPF / smaller bow difficultly definitely helps with that IMHO.
On that note: ATH only affects running speed right, it's not going to increase my draw speed. So what increases draw speed (other than the weapon stat), just WPF?
Yeah pretty sure ATH is only runspeed, WPF and maybe power draw for draw speed. Not sure.
Yes because Legolas is an accurate representation of how archery should be.Im acctually suprised there was a movie....and even a book. Considering how fucking godlike they made Legolas look, im sorta asking myself why didnt he just win the entire war all by himself.

Here have my - just for saying "lbs". Learn the metric system.I measure everything in stones.
Edit:
Wow, what's with all the hate? I wasn't complaining as to them being inaccurate, just asking for an understanding. Wasn't demanding they be more accurate, and yet everyone seems to have been molested by an archer at some point in their life, based on the downvotes =/
It's not mandatory getting that much, but I like doing some long range shot. I usually just sheath my bow and reposition when the enemies close me down since I have 0 ps, 0 if, 12 1h wpf and a pickaxe. The best builds if you want to be decent in melee too is 18/18 and 18/21. I'd suggest 18/21 with 155 wpf or so. You'll get a bit of polearm wpf as well then.
Check this guide (http://forum.melee.org/guides/archery-guide-fo-new-players-by-steevee/) as well. :)
Word of Advice:
The PD penalties to WPF got lowered recently. It's not the same as it was, meaning 150-160 is worth a lot more now than it was. That's, not counting armor, equal to about 120-130 wpf effective.
This is confirmed and tested, the old PD forumlas are bad. I believe this is the same for PT, but we couldn't find proof for PT, and only proof for PD.
