lol Buckler is the most little shield and IRL Archers would be able to shoot you...

EDIT:
Maybe get a bigger shield?

@ Topic It's not the Archery wich is OP its the OP Archers mostly.
And a nice tip dont run into Archers with Long bows and bodkins they (mostly) go heavy builds
(like: 27/15 ;9 pd) so even with a lordly Kuyak (most mainstream Armor from cRPG)
you die after only a few shots

[Penitent]

u dont need a shield.  You can:

Also, stick by a teamie with a shield [q][f][f]KEEP YOUR FORMATION. <GASP, Teamwork!?>
Also, use cover (trees, walls).
Also, bring a seige shield and make your own cover.
Also, practice dodging
also, wear heavier armor

The possibilities are endless.

That's it, I'm going to make a "archer defense guide" for all the noobs.
Oh wait....I just did!

Step 1 : go to eat icecream outside.
Step 2 : Think about what a beautifull day it is.
Step 3 : ignore a red light.
Step 4 : Get hit by a truck.
????????
PROFIT

archery is ruining this game again , ty

Yeah well... what can we do... the ranged lobby performs the best head / oral pleasure around here so even if they made archery take skill which they did the ranged lobby will gather their finest oral experts in to change the devs mind in the last sec..

The moment when chadz an the devs decide to remove spray n pray archery he felt a disturbance in the force... it was like... a million 12 year old cs kids all cried out at once and were suddenly silenced by being rewarded with deadly braindead body shot dmg.

Not anymore. Now every nub can get his "lucky" headshot. I'm wondering how kill stats for the past month look like. I bet that number of headshots has skyrocketed.

I am having trouble remembering what happened, after a single 2h animation got changed by about 0,1 sec? Did that involve a lot of bloo-blooo-bwaaaaahahahaaaaaa?

Uuggh, nope, can't be arsed to type the same reply to this for the fifteenth time. Nevermind.

Old Heater Shield

Very minor skill point investment, 1 slot investment, insignificant repair cost.  Probably will save you from ~5 arrows/bolts a round.

Archery is still nerfed from what it was in .260.

Tzar is an expert on how archers actually work and play, so I listen to and respect his opinions concerning ranged in cRPG.

The "get a shield" argument is so lame and sooooooo very much 2010. Really, we've been over that one many times, you can even add the slot argument nowadays.

[PanPan]

get a shield then.

An oldie but a goodie ;)

@MrShine

Dude, I have 1 shield skill and I've used Old Heater shield. It's useless against archers. Problem isn't bad protection because I have just one shield skill, that's more than enough. Problem is something else. I hold it up while going after them and just when I'm near them, I still get shot because changing to weapon takes longer than it takes them to shoot at me. Make archers strong at distance and remove retarded shotgunning and I'll gladly use my shield every round.

Archery is this mod is complete opposite to what archery was during middle age.

[PanPan]

well then give us our ''middle age'' missile speed.

but no others would cry.

EDIT: Leshma try to kick teh archer or try to run around him to m-mh-m-mindfuck him.
