Archers rework no?

[Torost]

People always whine about running archers, but seldom complain that the cav outruns them. Logic?

I would love a sligtly longer and higher dmg 0slot weapon(or all bows made 1slot), so that it is somewhat possible to fight some melee.
But if you give archers better meleecapabilities, you wont actually see them standing and fighting more. They will just be harder to kill once you close the gap.The bow is the archers weapon, and it works from a distance not close up.

If you feel so brave try ditching your weapon and fight the other meleeguys with your fists, comparable to fighting with a 0slot weapon.

if devs rework shield bush, so archers cant move back and aim in shield and w8 when shielder try to attack and shot him, if this will be reworked = all would be fine.

That was my last build. 90% of the time the enemy just runs away trying to stay at the edge of his 2h blade after they notice that you can block and feint. Fuckin 2h kiting my old friends !

Totally agree. The worst kiters are archers, but greatsword users are a close second.

Depends. Arrows are easy to dodge unless you have low agi build. But dodging requires certain knowledge. Until few months ago, you could dodge just by fast turning and zigzagging. Right now it's best to stand still, wait for archer to release the arrow and make your move. That way you won't catch them but you won't get shot either.
