Looks like two weeks was not enough for you to show us your build accuracy Zapper.
Pity.

You never responded to my question of which bow I should have used. Why did you never respond? Not my fault that you just ignored it. Just a simple "yeah, use that bow" would have been enough, but you never answered.
This game isn't about being skillful as much as its about saying things in general chat that enrage people who then go to murder you but in their rage they make dumb mistakes which gets them killed.

Which was my point exactly. But I don't HAVE a MW Horn Bow, hence I asked if I could use another bow or borrow yours. You never responded to that. Although you DID respond to another post here, so I'm guessing you just ignored it.
Pity.

My last gen was archer, I'm already retired and at lvl 30 with my 1h/2h/pole shieldercav build. Next gen is gonna be thrower/1h hybid. Might go back to the archerbuild after that. Was so OP :D

I personally suggest putting almost all the WPF into archery, and then maybe something like 50 wpf into 2h.  I've done gens without any wpf into melee and been able to compete just fine.

I recommend using a blunt weapon (like the mace) as your 2 hander.  5 PS works ok for longsword/katana but blunt is just so much safer, plus those handy knock-downs can give you a chance to finish someone off or simply put distance between you and the enemy if we're talking a tin can.

The WPF issue is tricky since you run into the issue of diminishing returns VS the general ranged wpf needs.  Aka, is losing ~50 wpf in melee worth the extra 5-6 wpf into archery? 

I guess it depends on what your goal is:
-Archer who gets off a few shots at range and then engages: split the wpf more like how you are suggesting.
-Primary archer, but able to defend self when forced to melee: max archery wpf.

Your build it's more like pure archer with limited melee defence abilities. With mace range your chances against cavalry is very low. Also every polearmer will just stun you with holded overhead because you do not have any chances in «outrange» game. Looks like thread maker wanna have medium\close range archer and still have possibility to play agressively with melee weapon.
And do not forget about repairing chances with low melee proficiency.
