Who uses the Yumi?

[B3RS3RK]

There would be a simple way to give the yumi a niche:

Make it 2 Slot and 5 PD.

That way, It would be a legit choice for Horse archers, de-enabling their melee capacities but giving them a stronger bow for their builds.


For foot archers it would still mostly be crap compared to long- and rus bow, but since it´s the same right now It would be far better.

PS: Dont tell me Yumi is good for Horse archers as it is right now...It´s fucking crap because you need an 18/21 Build, and with 3 horse archery your aim is SHITE, I tested it.

Your aim's fine, you can easily make up for your slight loss of accuracy that you get compared to 4 HA, after only a few maps of playing when I made a horse archer, I could hit targets consistently again.

[Ptolemy]

No! Don't make it 2 slots!

No it isn´t.It becomes extremely hard to hit anything with 3 Horse Archery.Only if you trot or stand still you will be able to make anything but lucI love youhots...

Or you would need to be masterly skilled in using that bow...

Make it 2 Slot and 5 PD.

Let's improve your suggestion - make it 3 Slot and 4 PD.
Or even better - make it 4 slot and 3 PD.

Are you sure that your suggestion is better than mine?

[Arrowblood]

look at black corsair, hes very good with his yumi on his horse and he has a 50+ ping

Yes this is true, my horse get kill by 3 arrow from his Yumi, it doesn't needs buff. 6 PD with Arabian warhorse on Yumi = win

[B3RS3RK]

Let's improve your suggestion - make it 3 Slot and 4 PD.
Or even better - make it 4 slot and 3 PD.

Yes it is...Because it makes the Yumi fit into the horse archer niche.

[Cup1d]

Something is wrong with you or your suggestion dude

[B3RS3RK]

Nope.If you think about it, it´s only logical.

The Yumi is one of the "big 3" of the bows, namely the Long bow, Rus bow and the Yumi.Those are the "bigger" bows requiring 6 pd, with more damage and Accuracy.The thing that is supposed to make it unique and give it a niche right now is that it only needs 1 slot, contrary to the 2 of the other big bows.

This failed.Why?Simply because for a foot archer, if you aren´t going for style as a weaboo, one of the 2 other bows is almost always a better choice.For horse archers it fails because you need 6 pd, rendering you unable to get 4 Horse archery on level 30.

So, to make the Yumi a proper Horse archer bow, give it req pd5 and make it 2 slot.That way, it will be usable for the typical horse archer build.

Or you could always just learn how to shoot instead of balancing weapons around what you can and can't do.

As I've said, I've used the Yumi bow on a 18/21 HA build effectively, and it would appear that we even have a so called "Black Corsair" that's effectively using the Yumi from horseback, either I'm somehow an incredibly good shot on horseback despite sucking ass as a foot archer or you're just even worse than me.

[Overdriven]

Black Corsair is the ONLY person I have ever seen use a Yumi well on horse back. Everyone else gets ripped apart by horn bow HA and gives up quickly. I've never come across another Yumi HA other than Black corsair that I can't beat. It's a hard weapon to master on horseback. Certainly not a reliable bow by any standards. It's in an odd niche at the moment.

If you don't have a loom +3 Yumi like black Corsair then stfu please

Doesn't mean it's any less effective, if one can do it, other people can.

Same argument from the archer thread. Actual archers consider being able to shoot at range being effective, whereas others like yourself believe that being able to shoot a target from 20 feet is "effective". HA 3 is shite for being able to be anything more than a way to ride to different places, stop, then shoot, or doing the charge within 20 feet and fire that most HX use. Using that strategy, being a HX is more effective than any HA would, so why bother with a HA, Yumi or otherwise?
