The new accuracy is fine imho, it doesn't change much but it gives a bit more of an advantage over the old one.
Sure the speed is a pain in the arse because of the low hold time but at the very least there should be a better way to fix it than to decrease a much needed accuracy buff and add 1 speed, which won't make enough difference to remove the effect, you need at least a three increase to see a change anyway. (From previous tests when I lobbied for it to be a minimum of 50 speed)
Also Bjord, unbeknown because of your long absense, there are a surprising amount of archers who have melee capabilities, even myself would you believe, has the ability to successfully block incoming attacks and even fight back and kill my aggressor, despite having the wish to speed off into the distance in such a case I wasn't ready for the attacker.
Albeit there are those who don't have much past a hammer and have little in the way of being able to attack back, but last I knew, blocking continually is a massive pain in the arse.
