Is archery viable?

[Everkistus]

Hello people,

I was thinking today and I realized that I miss my old fuckface longnose archer. Is archery a viable option nowadays or is it gimped atm? I personally had 24/18 (lvl 32) with the Horn Bow last summer, but since arrow weight got increased it might not be viable anymore. I just like spamming arrows that actually damage people, that's why a sniper build with 18/max agi would be bad for me. Who knows, maybe if archery is viable nowadays I might go back to it ;)

Just seeing players like Blackbow or Bagge on the field made me realize again how great support a good archer really is to the team. Also, general discussion about archery in this thread please.

Archery's viable, especially if you team up with another archer or group of archers. People don't respect archers even in groups sometimes so they'll charge and your group will pew pew him to death.

If you want to be an archer again, go for it. Wouldn't do 8 PD with the 24/18 build, although your example was a lvl 32 char.. nvm. Go for it bro. Annoy the hell out of ragers.

A bit underpowered, but if you're going to focus on stunning people in melee etc it's still as effective as ever.

I like griefing twohanders and people without a shield. Archery is the best way to do it.

Throwing.

The hornbow build is the only one worth it right now.

Yep. Past PD 7 the accuracy penalty overwhelms the WPF.

lol My plan for my archer alt is to go 18/24: 6 PD, 8 WM, 3 ATH with Longbow.

When a melee gets to me I'll fight back with my wooden stick. Fuck the kiters.
