Powerdraw

[Sarethus]

Anyone mind telling me what each point in powerdraw gives now?

It's changed alot over the years...8% dmg,12% dmg and powerdraw lowering accuracy and ive even read something that said that powerdraw only gives damage until 4

mb can be confusing , im no expert.

You get 14% increase in dmg for every point in powerdraw. Just remember you need wpf in archery to match it aprox 14 wpf for each point in powerdraw.
And max 4 points in powerdraw above the bows requirements. Rusbow req. 6 means max 10 powerdraw. Hornbow Req. 5 max 9 powerdraw.

Play with the plan char tools to find the right mix.

Leveling and playing as archer can be frustrating, so many limitations. You are not really effective before level 30.
Consider using a crossbow instead, no requirements , hard hitting and accurate. And can be used by peasants ,even the arbalest.

Be warned that PD increases accuracy at roughly 1-3, levels out and is neutral, then starts decreasing it at 8 or higher by a tad.

Basically though Torost summed it up extremely well.

Untrue no offense. I suggest use the best bow you can and use Tatars (Bodkins got nerfed into hell) even if you do no dmg it helps you learn and keeps you fresh. Plus the beggining bows are machine guns so aim for the head you'll be suprised. I suggest you dont ver off and use a xbow dulls your skill in my opinion.

My Build: 24-15 +Loomd Rus bow = Fun as hell
