I don't see a reaso not to use bodkin arrows unless:

- You want less upkeep
- You like the looks of some other arrows better

Is there any good archer who performs better in general with some other arrows than the bodkins?

Well I always wondered whats behind the story of the birds and the bees. Is that part of your book? Also bodkins deal pierce damage instead of cut!

What?!

Who would write a story about birds! They got nothing to do with bees!!!  :?

ROBINHOOD, Shokoshugi_Tiborur, Templar_Steeve and some others all use tatar arrows and do very well.

Merc_Arrowblood used to use barbed arrows and topped scores with long bow.

I don't know if its attributed to their builds, but they are usually very noticable on the server, performance wise.

Ok, thanks. I'm obviously not paying much attention to what arrows players use.
Looking forward to see if it's actually true... I've played with ROBINHOOD a lot and he is a good archer for sure.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Rus bow gets it's stats modified in the next balance patch.
What's your build Deutschritter? I have heard you are quite strong.

What's wrong with Rusbows?

Nothing and that is the actual problem. Most players find the Rus bow superior to the long bow.

I figured that's what you meant, but why do they think it's better?

Use 1 day a mw rusbow from your clan armoury. Then the next day use a longbow. And tell me what better was.

I suggest that bodkin arrows start with 1 damage point.
