I'm about to retire my very first gen, and I'm wanting to go an Archer/1her. Medium to close quarters shooting.
I'm at a loss for which bow to choose from that 1-3 PD requirement.
Short Bow - Seems to have really good cut damage but I'm kinda turned off by the accuracy. Is it bad?
Nomad Bow - ?
Tatar Bow - ?
Tatar or Bodkin arrows?
Note: I'm planning to kind of have an assassin build so I'll be carrying Scottish Sword and Long dagger/rhondel as my sidearms, and a small light bow as my primary.
My build by level 30
Strength: 9
Agility: 30
Hit points: 44
Skills to attributes: 8
Power Strike: 3
Athletics: 9
Power Draw: 3
Weapon Master: 8
One Handed: 150
Archery: 125
Any advice on the above is much appreciated.

idk if you're going to hurt much with that....? I've never played such a low PD archer... I think there's a calculator somewhere...
-
3 PD and 125 archery is a no no

D: It's THAT bad? I was just gonna try to hunt other archers with this build.

If you want to kill good archers with 3-10 hits, you're welcome.
Even though Lower tier bows are not as useless as before, low PD builds are. I advice having at least 15 str - 5 PD, sometimes 12 str 4 PD works too, but usually not worth it. One great advice - test different builds with your skip the fun character.
If you go low PD the only choice is usually bodkins.
(also having at least 150-160 archery wpf is a good idea, for melee weapons ~100 is usually enough)
PS: For me archer assasin builds are usually associated with high str archers (like 27-24 str), because with small weapons it's really hard to deal at least some damage against higher then medium armoured opponents.
EDIT: mistyped PD and str

Isn't having more than 4 PD over the bow's requirement pointless???

...makes absolutely no sense :?
When you skill 30 agi, you want 10 athl and 10 wm, or at least one of them at 10. With only 9 athl, you can decrease your agi to 27 and you have extra points left 8-)

Yeahhhhhhhhhhh i think i messed up somewhere on the build calculator lol... doesn't look the way i had it.
Edit: Oh i remember now, At 31 i was going to skill athletics to 10. But I'm pretty much throwing this idea out anyways and going with a normal archer :/ I've tried all types of assassin dagger/shortsword builds but they are all so underwhelming.

If you want to kill other archers you should use a Crossbow because that allows you to save some of your skill points to convert. I also like xbow for killing archers the best because they usually wear light armor and can be 1-2 shot with any xbow.
I suggest checking out the xbow/ 1h build posted a few days ago in the beginner section.

Yeah I love the heavy crossbow. Only thing I don't like about the hunting/light/crossbow is that the range is hideous and the bolt drop is disgusting. D: Maybe I'm not doing it right.
Lemme go check that build out.

Just go 3/35. With that much agility you'll be faster than any bow.
