Archery questions post patch

[Rogue_Eagle]

It seems the general consensus is that archery was buffed, but I've had a look on my equipment page and my sharp bodkins are only +1 now. What are base level bodkins in relation to sharp bodkins?

Also what were these supposed 'buffs'?

[Aseldo]

Well bows and arrows themselves got nerfed, but I suppose people think archery got buffed because armor got nerfed as well. I honestly think archery is about what it was pre-patch.

If you want to see the stats for equipment for normal and loomed stuff just look at the retirement page and find your item.

I had a look at armours and most of the higher tier ones seem to be about the same level, I think archery got nerfed more tbh.

Heirloomed armour and heirloomed gloves was nerfed. Regular gloves was also nerfed.

Example: I lost 6 armor points with the nerfs - archery buff.

[karasu]

Armor heirlooms were nerfed, and archery looms were tweaked down to meet the new armor situation.

Game-wise it feels a bit like it did before (I still can't 1-shoot a naked guy on horseback with +3 bow / bodkins and PD 6  ), which is a good think, but people are too busy qq'ing about archery cause it's a popular class, and they were already being one-shot by arbalests pre armor nerf, ignoring it, so it's kinda complicated.

ps: if you do the math, you will realize the class that benefits less from the armor nerf is in fact archery.

Boodkin arrows
0 pierce??

Armor was nerfed, arrows were nerfed, Melee weapons were largely untouched.

This is an indirect buff to melee damage.

[mandible/splinteryourjaw]

armor nerfed, arrows nerfed...hhhmmmmm..........................smells like a one-hander, two hander, polearmer buff.............only saying because with every patch people bi, stop it, whine, there that sounds better, about archery being buffed, even when it takes a major hit.  NEVER HAPPY!!!!!!!!!! 

Play or don't play but stop whining.  If you are defending/supporting your class thats one thing, but with every patch and in between every patch the constant whine about archery is ridiculous.  Archery was a major player in medieval warfare.....deal with it!!!!!!!!!!!  Don't want to get shot? Sacrifice strength points for ath, chase me naked, and kill me...dead archer, no prob. I promise I'm not much of a fight.

answer to op:  I haven't seen much difference, but review your armor weight (a lot of that has changed.)

it would be nice not to take 8 bodkin arrows to kill someone with PD5

Or not take over 4 shots to kill an archer with cloth armor...

But there isnt a better archery game out there...nvm HA

You should be retired and gone like Finn and play with horses in Retired Heaven!

This needs to be better known. Archery is so nerfed compared to native it is not even funny. All those archery complainers must have been pure arrow catchers in native.

Often two-shot by Rus Bow in 57 body armour with 21 strength and 5 IF. Archery is not bad at all.

Archery was ok in crpg until strategus 3 came. After that, all fuctards respec to archery and now every battle is a fucking rangefest  , so pls nerf archery in strategus, so both strategus and crpg can be fun again.

And why we have still ladders in battles ?, its ruin fun for all other classes on server.
