Sorry if i came across wrong, all im saying is that i think archery is fine exactly where its at. Crossbows might need a nerf, might not, but i just dont think archery needs alterations at the moment.



they will be nerfed just fine with the 2 slots item system

If you mean bows then what i heard was that they are also upping some stats on the bows along with the patch. I dont actually have that in writing though but that would make some sense.

Besides, i still dont think the 2slot system works for archery since unless they increase the amount of arrows per quiver quite drastically i know i will just run instead of fight. Going with just 16 arrows would be retarded.

16 is too much, 10 sounds about right.

To be fair, you dont need much to oneshot peasants. You're playing with a 10pd build then? Because with a regular build (6-7PD) and mw longbow + twice heirloomed bodkins im oneshotting next to noone.

Well to be fair a 3x heirloomd sniper crossbow rarely one shots anything either... unless there is a speed bonus from cav riding towards you. Or a low armour, low if person. But then again a 6-7 PD  would one shot that aswell.

I dont oneshot most cavalry even when im waiting they are almost in my face to shoot. And i do play an archer right now so and the only ones i do oneshot are peasants or what im guessing is high agility builds with no armor on a horse.

13 PD is a waste of skills points, aslong as PD doesn't give any bonus after 10.
