Current mechanics allow for 184 instead of 173 wpf. However, if you switch from 24 agi / 8 WM to 21 agi / 7WM you will still gain 170 wpf in a single weapon category, so almost the same even with one less WM ( which in turn could mean more agi, PS, etc. ).
I am not sure though how archery was changed after the patch. Last I checked, according to devs the PD malus was "tweaked" to neutralize advantages for ranged ( or at least archery ) that would come with the wpf gain, yet I havent noticed any detailed descriptions regarding this change.
