Who me? If you do archery in RL I think you should read what the dangers are and not to freak out because some jerk overdrew his bow with too short arrow and even managed to shoot his hand .

I've been doing archery for a few years as well, still got my old bow somewhere, its a bit too short and too weak for me, at least the arrows are still good.

In RL I like shooting with pretty much any weapon, bow included.

Then always when I see some good melee player go archer in crpg I keep asking "WHY WHY WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!"

Yes, archery is viable... but get full archer looms first or not so much.

Also, I find that once u get into high
wm (at about 7) the dmg bonus u get from wpf is almost as good as PD.

Maybe they understand that melee skills are not the only skillset in the game. Maybe they enjoy variety. Maybe they like to make typical crpg players whine predictably.
