So, as an archer, the archery nerf is pretty painful. I'm doing WAY too much damage for it ever to be considered fair and my arrows are shooting as fast as they might if I picked one up in my hand and tossed it at someone with the intent to kill them- I believe this is the point of thrown weapons (I may be wrong).
The repair costs on arrows are derp. I guess it doesn't matter since I can two-shot anything anyway. Bodkins are practically cheating right now. Might as well use the ol' Arrows.
Lancing on Greg is pretty retarded from what I can tell. I'm not sure what the point of lancing is when you might as well just coach and one shot someone just doing that. I think I saw someone mention that the aspect of reach has been completely fucked for a lance on horseback. Reach was what you could make use of with the lolpoke before. Coaching could be used on a stubborn shielder. This was fair enough since poking someone that's at a 90 from you would do not much more than standing still and poking. So, I think 40 is pretty extreme. 90 is the other extreme though, because while down-blocking isn't hard, killing a good, defensive cav player was nearly impossible when you could hold any attacker off of you with a 90 degree stab in their direction. Maybe try 65 degrees or something?
Just my 0.02.
Anyway, off to level a two hander. I hear agility builds have been balanced quite nicely, amirite? Yeah, I'll stack agility and check back for a patch update in a bit.
