3 PD as a HA is a bit weak, of course you will annoy people but 4 HA is good enough, 5 is better but there is no point of accuracy when you have very little damage. When you vs a plate user or hell even a mail user you will do little to no damage at all. I would try out Murchad build which is -

Pure HA
15/24
5pd
6rid
8wm
4ha
WPF:173


Word of one of the best Horse archer i know

All credits go to Murchad -

Pure HA
15/24
5pd
6rid
8wm
4ha

I have been having fun doing 3ha builds using my elite scimmy lately but the build i just listed is the best level 30 HA build, good accuracy and dmg

after i retire this time i am going to stop retiring and keep leveling, i am going to do the same build i listed and then convert all my stats to skills after lvl 30 and do 5ps and get 8riding, if i ever get above that ill put points into athletics.
in theory if i did get to the level 35 level cap i would have this build
15str
24agi
5ps
5pd
4ha
8wm
8riding
8athletics

I'm going for Deadlysiins 15/24 build when I retire my foot archer alt. I'll def miss the 0 wpf/6 powerstrike melee sidearm, truth be told, but can't wait to try HA out. My grand plan for this alt is to get to at least +3 heirlooms so I can masterwork my bow, then continue leveling, converting all new stats to skills for ironflesh, powerstrike for when I can't ride my horse.

i wont take credit for 15/24 build, it is pretty widely known among HAs that it is the best balance of accuracy to power.

I have tried that 9/30 build with a 3x heirloomed shortbow back when they were 20dmg
and 3x heirloomed bodkins when they had the most dmg. and the dmg was still too low.
i could get alot of headshot kills at close range but it was worse at long range due to the slower arrow speed on the lower bows.
also arrow supply is an issue and taking more arrows to kill someone means less kills in a round.

I like my 12/24.He can do some damage at least with 2ps(3 at lvl 30)if he is dehorsed and in melee.
