archery..

[Tears of Destiny]

What's the record for archer running away? Tonight me and Elio followed some Fallen guy, Sjanta for more than 2 minutes I think.

I currently have a record of dehorsing a guy before even the first tick at 30 seconds, and him chasing me until shot at the back at round end with only a little over a minute left on the timer.

Now thats something to be proud of.

I managed to pull Atas from one border of the map to another and back for straight 48 seconds ... IN RAGEBALL ... HAH !

I managed to run after an archer for 2 seconds, then some my old friend with  longsword chambered overhead attack was waiting around a corner... the rage, my my.

Did ranged got buff again? They are pretty dangerous against me now, a jarid took 90% of my hp in 1 throw and sometime I get one throw- perman death. 2 arrow from longbow / rus bow can kill my courser and just 1 steel bolt from an arbalest will kill  95% of my horse hp. Did they got buff after this newest patch?

Throwing weapons now cause perma-death?

I don't play EU but I hear you are an average player with average skill who isn't level 30+ and who doesn't have some skilled teammates as backup, nor the ability to succeed in melee when approached, so I take this one screenshot as proof archery needs to be nerfed

level 28 with 0 ps, so my melee skills and level dont come into it . I was 2 shotting most people, with the str builds taking 3 hits. But dont nerf its pretty balanced

Ok well now we are up to three high score photos from archers.  Stacked against... about a billion similarly high scores from melee and cavalry players.

Not all the time perma-death. I am a horseman you see throwers is like anti-cav now. If you cahrge at them you can get 1 hit killed by their throwing weapons. 1 guy with 7 PD throw a non-loom lance at me and i died from it. (lose 100% hp) i had 18 str and 3 iron flesh and carrying a sheild. (Wearing mongol armor and golden horde helmet non-loom, but my mail gauntlets are loom +3)

i went to NA yesterday because i keep crashing on EU server, some naked guy from hospitaller that uses throwing axes nearly top the score board, he is a agi axe thrower, which means he don't have much power throw but i forgot his name.

It is true that i can die from 2 arrow, one arrow will took 70% of my hp and thats why i need my shield , horn bow took 30% of my hp but seriously longbow and rus bow deal tons of damage

a player called Jambi top score board with 28 kills and 3 death i remember from yesterday after the patch, i should have taken a screen shot back then.

I suppose the point i was trying to make is that ive played a 2h and other melee class's for a very long time and i have never had problems with range. Yes i would die to them and rage sometimes but i never really thought of them as op or game changing. But since ive actually played archer and seen how easy it is for a supposedly support class to get such easy kills i can see how they are considered to be a bit op.

I am suspecting a ninja buff to ranged, they are heavily fucking me up, seems more than it used to be. Even though I now use a heavier armor.

[Lactose_the_intolerant]

i get the impression my throwing was improved, getting a kill for every axe i threw

on my crossbow alt(no looms) i was one shotting people

placebo effect? maybe...
