Multiple admins were online at this time.  If it were ban worthy I'm sure they'd have done it then.

I'm allergic to drama.

Yeah... I never pay attention to forums.  It's not like we're friends on steam or anything...

Contrary to popular belief, I am not dead.  I also dislike lances in my face, so don't do that Edmond.

I heirloomed my khergit arrows.  Having 40 arrows is nice.

I doubt that there was a brother involved in this fiasco since your forum account was created less than 10 minutes after the server ban happened.  Regardless, I don't think any unbanning will be happening any time soon.

I dont think banning someone who DDoS'd a server is a douche bag move.

After dealing with DDoS attacks in the past, no one here has any tolerance for them now.

If you do well with 1 WPF, you'd do even better with 99 ;)

On the other hand, my build with a warbow and 10 PD means my long range accuracy is significantly less at 130-ish wp, but on the other hand I can keep the reticule smaller for a significantly longer time, allowing me to hold my shot better. Also hitting like a truck means if I hit you, you feel it regardless of armor.

I honestly don't understand how you claim to have less long-range accuracy and say that your reticule is smaller for longer periods of time.  I think the build with the smaller reticule for longer time would necessarily have better long range accuracy.   Unless what you're saying is that your reticule is NOT smaller than a high WPF build, yet holds its maximum accuracy for longer... in that case you may be correct.

I can't speak from experience of having played a high PD build, but I have fought against high PD archers and I honestly think that they are at a disadvantage in archer duels.  Even if it takes you 5 arrows to die, and only 2 or 3 for me to die, I will still have a much better rate of fire than you and higher accuracy, and will most likely win the duel. 

I'm not here to try to convince anyone that a high PD build is bad, or that my build is the best.  I just wanted to throw my 2 cents in on this subject, and let people who were interested know the build that I use most of the time.  The battlefield will decide which build is more effective

This is the build I've found to be most effective since the patch:
15 Str
24 Agi
5 Power Strike
5 Athletics
5 Power Draw
8 Weapon master
155 Archery
99 2-hander

I use a Masterwork Strongbow with Bodkins and a Balanced Longsword for melee. 

I don't really understand the fixation on having a higher powerdraw than required.  My damage with a strongbow and only 5 powerdraw is sufficient for the current state of archery in this game, and to get up to 7 or 8 powerdraw would require far more sacrifices in WPF than I'd be willing to give. 

155 WPF with a masterwork strongbow is about as accurate as it can get.. but this gen I'm thinking of going to 165 or so and only having 60ish 2hander WPF, in order to have a longer period of maximum accuracy.

It's true, heirlooming bows does not increase the PD requirement. 

Here are the stats on my Fine Strong Bow:
weight 1.25
requirement 5
spd rtng 64
shoot speed 61
thrust damage 26 cut
accuracy 97
