So I respecced yesterday to an archer. Immediately I start seeing ppl raging as me and few of my clan m8s decided to go Fallen Archer Squad on eu1. Now Pygar's post is another rage post (yes, me and 2 other archers shot him while he tried to come to the hill HOWEVER he didn't use any cover, he just walked up the hill. It also took 5-6 +3 bodkins from +3 long bow to kill him =P).
Now ppl that know me know that I've been every other class than HA/Hoplite, mostly I've been melee. I enjoy melee, actually I enjoy it more than being archer, or ranged in general. I rage to archers also, but not as hard as most of you do
. Say what you say, shield does help. And Pygar, don't just run into the archers -.- Wait for the flags =D. You should know better =D.
Oh yeah, the weight nerf, trust me it affects. I have 3ath, I can't run away.
Now the main reason why I ragespecced to an archer is because of long spears/pikes. I get way too pissed when I encounter them. They're not impossible to defeat, sometimes not even hard. I just can't stand how they can hit through objects, how they can block with 200 length, the damage, the speed and so on. I was thinking of going 2h Mauler, but as they might introduce the new holding time thingy I decided to become archer Find a way to decrease the amount of long spear/pike users (mainly the ones who use them to infantry) or make them more realistic and I assure you, I'll go back to melee. (It's always one my old friendcher less).
