Need advice Archery...

[Kellshar_of_Wessex]

Whats the best builds/bows and why?

I like the idea of the Longbow is it any good?

Best advice for archery = don't go archer. 

Just kiddin' man.  In all seriousness, right now the faster the bow the better because all that matters is headshots.  I can take 3-4 arrows/bolts to the body, but one arrow to the head and I'm dead.  Pretty much always a one-shot no matter bow what hit me.

What he said, you have to dump as much wpf points in archery as you can. But its hard to score headshots with a longbow, so perhaps you want to go with a horn bow for now.

I wouldn't have 3WM as a starter. You cannot hit anyone with that. I use the same build currently with 6 WM and I put all the rest to IF (70 hitpoints). This way you can stay a little more alive and take a few more shots.

One last thing: shield for archer is not a good choice. Shields are heavy they will make you slower. As an archer you should keep your weight at minimum so that you'll have more mobility.

I think he is trying to tell you that what you did was a bit mean. But yeah guess more archers with shields will make me smile a bit more in game.
