What do Bodkin arrows do?

He means some people are against them. It's no real majority though, so unless devs decide to remove them anyway it won't happen.

good. It does need more diversity, all there is, is European metal plate armours everywhere.

You must not be playing on the NA1 battle server then.  Maybe a few people out of 70-80 on the server wear plate armor, but the majority of the people have medium mail armor as the highest armor people are wearing.  I generally never have to switch to pierce mode on my 1h broad battle axe because people aren't wearing heavy enough armor for it to justify it.

Example:

7PD

MW Long bow + MW Tatars = (34+6) * (1 + (14*7) / 100) = 79'2 cut damage
MW Long bow + MW Bodkin = (34+2) * (1 + (14*7) / 100) = 71'2 pierce damage

Sometimes, tatars arrows are more useful than bodkin. I am not adding WPF bonus to damage because I don't know how it work, and if someone know, please post. Bodkin arrows is not ever the best option.

No problem. My plan at the moment is to sell my Yumi and get Bodkin. Then I will use lower bows up the levels till I can get good with using them and level up the Bow Points and PD too.

Do what you think is most fun. If you want to go archer, go archer for a generation, just also try out melee with maybe a STF alt or something.

Do what makes you happy, to hell with the naysayers. Play to have fun.
