SAVE CRPG! NERF RANGED

[Momo]

i usually play with my alt with 40 body armor as an agi char (no shield). can't remember when i'd loose 2/3 health to a single arrow. what can sometimes almost 1 shot me to the body are arbalests from close range (i roughly guess by hits i took that regular ones do about 60-80 percent of damage).

all this ranged nerf is a whine, arguments put here are selective and they are mostly total BS. none of the complainers would ever manage to get even close to 1:1 K/D ratio with lvl 30 stf char archer, yet they continually just complain, complain, complain...

btw i agree - archery is shit, it promotes running kiters instead of strength builds. especially aiming on the head only is retarded - it totally negates STR builds so there is only 1 good possible archer build atm (running kiter that tries to headshot with hornbow on 10 meters).

We are talking about HEAD ARMOR OMFG. Ranged body dmg is FINE.

this isnt the topic about head armor tho

The main idea came from this topic when I made a separated topic for the head armor.

Ranged body dmg is FINE.

It's too low and should hurt more. Not like the old arrow of doom days, but this is also silly, I was gone for a year and a half and suddenly there are no archers, only kiting mosquitoes which try to headshot or only slightly sting a normal armoured person.
Throwing is also crappy now. Crossbows are almost decent. Except you can't oneshot even a light armour agibuild in the body anymore, not even with MW arbalest & MW bolts, which is a bit sad.

The only annoyance now is that archers can run away like chickens, but since they can't use decent melee weapons either and strbuilds are gone and damage is meh, well, bah. Boost damage and increase weight of ranged tbh.

Buff body dmg, nerf headshot dmg (a bit), I would be totally fine with that.

I like it how it is now. Shooting head is not so easy, also you can just show your ass to an archer and keep walking to him with your ass leading the way. 2h left swing holded all the time and looking at the damn grass. No HS for sure!

Worked for me. Also the archer looked quite surprised

Alternatively you can just block with your fists, covering your face. But tbh I dont see how headshot damage needs to be decreased when people survive + 3 bodkins + 3 longbow headshots.

Why doesn't anyone ever buy a shield? In the old CRPG 70% of twohanders had a shield.

I am 2h with a shield.  Works pretty well.

They probably dont want "to ruin their build" as you would lose 1 - 4 skill points.
