all archers should die in horrible death
people are like potatoes, they come in different shapes and sizes and they all are beautifull
masturbating while looking in a mirror isnt wrong unless its the rear view mirror and you are driving a school buss.

it doesnt matter if you are happiest person or an unfortunate weeper, a powerfull beast or a terrifying creature. we are all equal, in the eyes of the reaper.

A toolkit you might find very useful: http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php/topic,30703.0.html

My verdict is Bodkins are better, while tatars have good advantages such as more ammunition and cheaper cost. The thing with tatars and bodkins are, tatars are better against lowly armoured targets; which doesn't make a very significant difference since you will most likely kill them in 1-2 shoots. Haven't tried it though.

It depends on the size of the battle, avg armor and your willingness to burn gold.

I belive the pierce on bodkin is better than the +cut on Tatar. But comes at a cost.
The difference in length is a small con for bodkins, less chance someone will move into the arrow while it is in flight.(maybe negligble)

In large battles I usually run outa arrows with 2 packs of bodkins, and it feels like burning gold, since often you never get to the 2nd pack of arrows.

My general setup is rusbow + 1 pack of bodkin + one pack of plain arrows + 0slot hammer. In that order.

The bodkins for early hittingpower, when all have full health and second pack with regular arrows so that I dont run out should I survive until the endgame.(I often run out anyway, PITA to scavenge arrows.)
Early you seldom "overkill" your dmg is not wasted, since you only wound.

Since most arrows miss their target, the way I play atleast.
I feel the most important thing is to have enough arrows ,so that you can try the low chance of hitting shots.
2nd priority is stopping power, since you usually only get 1 hit before the enemy becomes aware and dodges/shield up/moves outa range-sight/close in and kills you.

Played Archer for 6 Gens and considering going back...but you should use Bodkins.

Reason being that you will be a much larger asset to your team as an archer to peg heavily armored targets and take them down. Tatars tickle in heavy armor, but bodkins you can really feel the hurt and a well placed shot will almost always get you a one-shot headshot.

On a side note KUTT has a MW Horn Bow and MW Tatars if you're willing to trade something for either :D Sorry, no MW Bodkins. They're off-limits because I love em too much.

Tatars works really good with longbow. MW tatars and MW long bow lets you to kill every player, and they are really good against loww armoured, speed running agi whores (one shot to kill). You are also killing almost every player with one head shot (only hi if players with heavy mw head armour can survive shot from me  :D)
Archer forever :D
