im getting the hang of it on my archer char....
ROFL you like dragonforce. When you got grownup musical tastes you can have growup opinions too! Im being mean, but your silly nonsensical shit about archery is a big LOL.
Actually could be interesting to make a new skill called stamina. It would be 1 per every 3 str/agi points (meaning that it wouldn't be tied to either one, because it would be shitty if only agi builds would get stamina or only str builds would get stamina.) However this would require to balance every goddamn weapon in the game again... Too much work me thinks...
YAY! Stamina bar! Tie it to both STR and AGI! Then 18/21 build get 13! 15/24 build get....13! 21/18 get....13! YAY WE ALL GET THE SAME! So lets save ourselves the bother and not have one! WOO! Already we have made progress. Honestly, 2dimensional pole spammers need to think before they type! WOOOOO!!
Also: As to drawing bows and stamina: Drawing smaller compound bows uses a lot of stamina in comparison to longer, slower draws. I can fire longbow all day (well, thats a lie, untill my fingers and shoulders give out, but I bet its longer than your wrists hold out feinting with zweihanders), but firing compounds is tiring and irritating, they dont have much range or power and need great excersion to max out.
To Balance archery a bit: Both gameplay and realism wise: Give the horsebows (Nomad, Horn, etc) the Tag: Unusable On Foot. They are already overpowered for their puny size and draw. They are not meant to be used on foot, else why they all have horse sheaths?
1/ HOW does it take less slots to carry a leather bow sheath than a weapon slung on back.
2/ HOW does a bow + large leather case weigh MORE than just a bow? Horn bow 1.2, longbow 1.7.....WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU SMOKING chadz!
OR: Make all large 2hander and poles 3 slot: Large bows already are 3 slot, and cost more. Balance, or GTFO. This thread is pointless, one sided, unrealistic, and is just the ramblings of butthurt heros wanting to spam massive weapons to compensate for lacking social skills. If not, prove me wrong: agree with me that currently archery is DICKED massively, SPITROASTED in fact by this endless, pointless bigotry.
