I have to disagree with mostt of your stuff, sorry Tenne. But you guide is about numbers and calculations. Archery is about feeling.
Prolly needs a new update as well. With jumpshot removal, and bow changes.
PM me if you need any help.
Firstly I would like to say that this is a Guide, that's fairly self explanatory and basically, not everyone will agree with what I am saying, I am merely trying to give out my experiences, some facts and figures to help the newer people in the community find a footing in archery.
"Archery is about feeling", I have to disagree, that's an opinion, there are people who prefer to work things out like myself, and those that just go for the "what feels right". Everyone plays differently, for example, I play with one stack of arrows and a reasonable melee weapon, if I remember correctly, you do not, you use two stacks and a hammer.
This guide follows through simple ways of dealing with scenarios, simple ways of trying to increase your life-span and some experienced views on the different equipment that's available. Simplifying things heavily in order to get people that foothold onto the archery ladder as it were.
Finally on the subject of the guide, it's based heavily on my level 30 build because that's what I know best. If the guide helps someone have a decent couple of rounds as an archer then it's hit the target, it's supposed to help people who are new to the class, not people who already know what they're doing. Of course, there are always people who are new and don't need help, Stulle was a prime example and still, despite his long absense, in my opinion, the best all round archer from his accuracy, adaptation, melee and even his general manner on the servers and forums. (Come back Stulle!)
I will state again, the guide is to help people find a good starting point off the back off an experienced player, i'm not the best archer by far and I don't want to be but I have built up enough experience that I would like to help others.
Yes, the guide needs an update but I haven't found too much time of late, my last coursework deadline for uni is the 2nd of December, so once that is over, I will be looking to finish some sections and to have it fully up-to-date, so don't worry about that one.
Thanks for the offer of help but as I have already said, these are my opinions, and as you dislike numbers and calculations I think we'd find it rather difficult to collaborate because i'd want to work out the reasoning behind your methods. Solid facts with evidence is how I work and I wouldn't be able to cope with "because it is" if you understand. I'd drive you mad.
