The other day I was playing and I headshot someone twice with a masterwork horn bow, bodkins and 7 power draw, he survived. Now personally I think archery is pretty well balenced but that is just unacceptable in my eyes. Opinions?

So on one incident you want a buff?

What was the range and elevation difference between you and the target, and what helmet was he wearing?

Armour gives a 50% to 100% swing variance anyways, maybe he lucked out and received 100% for both shots. My 36/3 siege character has 93HP, he can survive two head shots with a bit of luck.

I don't think one singular incident deserves a buff, considering all the other times you have headshot and OS.

I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.

I understand your point but at a range that is relativly close with a light armour helmet it is not possible that two headshots would not kill him. One headshot should be enough most times but two and surviving is just unreal. And Tom it was not you

A nerf would be ridiculous. Archery is fine right now.
