Stop whining, the archer probably had 7 PD and a longbow
No, the archer didnt, because that is a crossbow bolt.
Also, I kinda like the randomness, at heavy armours, 55 and above, it should be more random, NEVER more dmg, Im not suggesting buff range, but sometimes have arrows do nothing, just a stun, cause IRL: Arrows sometimes penetrate a weak spot, sometimes bounce of plate, sometimes they knock ppl down.
But what is REALLY needed is a massive increase in arrow weights, or a debuff to athletics when you stat powerdraw, or a MUCH bigger slowdown to your character when you draw a bow, so no more kiteing. Archery isnt the problem, ranged NEED to be able to do dmg, just as melee can, but they should NOT be able to do it from point blank and run away with no risk. IRL I cannot knock an arrow while I sprint, or rather, I can, but it takes a long time, is fiddly, and prone to failure, because an improper knocked arrow, when you fire, will not fire, youll just destroy your left arm and be left where you started, with an arrow in one hand and the bow in the other, or sometimes, with a bow in one hand and an arrow on the floor at your feet.
so its ok for an archer with 7pd to 2 hit a semi-tank build? NERF THAT SHIT!!!
AGAIN, THATS A BOLT, not an arrow.
