Title: Best arrows for low PD
Post by: Anita_Henjaab on October 16, 2013, 05:41:26 pm
what are the best arrows if you only got 2 or 3 Powerdraw?

Tatar or still bodkin? ... I mean with so low powerdraw you don't need top tier arrows right? Even normal arrows will do the trick you think?

Not an expert on archery, but i would say it's the same as for melee weapons: if you have low ps take something with blunt or pierce or it will never do damage to medium-higher armored opponents.

bodkin, if you want to actually do damage to people.

Edit:

Should clarify, if you want to hunt only peasants or low armor ppl, or even low armor horses, Tatar may be useful actually.

To hit the average player and have the arrow not bounce off though, you'll need bodkin.

I take this back, use normal arrow so you can make pincushions from your teammates!

With that pd you will need to go for headshots anyways to do at least a little damage. and since headshots are not fatal any more... have fun... go for stunshots, so the melee heroes can harvest more killz and prolongue their epeen.

I would not recommend such a low pd but if you really want it you should go for bodkins, they are the only arrows that cam actually pierce the (low) armor your oponends have.

Use bodkins, sometimes for fun i'm getting short bow and bodkins and kill some ppl on eu2

Still, low pd is for joke, if you want to kill go for at least 5 pd and "normal bow"

If you want some more info about archery go and read my archery guide :)

Assuming your a hybrid build you will probably want to consider upkeep costs. Bodkins are the best arrows to use but can bleed you dry from upkeep.

This game is for fun. Killing in this game is s fun. Killing = FUN If you want to kill best are bodkins, this game is not about upkeep, it's only a factor because of you sometimes have to run around in rags :)

If you just want to dip into a ranged class but mainly play as melee, throwing and crossbow take much less stat investment than archery. Bolts and throwing weapons also weigh less than arrows. You don't want to be carrying 12+ weight (2 shields or light mail body armor) just for occasional ranged attacks.
