Why I ragespecced to an archer.

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  :mrgreen:. 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  :mrgreen:


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).

yep =D Also I got to agree the balance is fucked up... When it's 40vs40 it doesn't matter that much in most of the maps which team has more archers. But for example last night it was like 20vs20 and the other team had 10 archers, where as the other had 2. And only 4 archers (from 12) had same banner.

the hand of God will touch your head, wiltzu, and you will be multiplicated. From that moment the community will rage as wiltzu is followed by a the 7 guardian angels that are the holy protectors of his name, and of the archers. Those angels will bring death and destruction, they will confuse the enemy and they shalt never look the same. all classes will rage and the admins will kneel to them. Wiltzu will be the most powerful, the most godlike archer ever. The holy number of 3 will give the holy number of an additional 7, the holy number will always be victorious.

I'm playing as a 1h + shield. So far i have not seen a single class that is unbalanced vs me...


Ranged i can block if i pay a lot of attention (half my time i spend holding Q (which is the free-view key for me)
2h i can handle if they are not too pro
Polearms i can beat with speed (especially longspear and pikes are no match unless they are with 2 other players)
Other 1h's are no match for me  :twisted:

I lol'ed, would lol again.  In all seriousness, the team balance should be re-adjusted so that it's not a massive archer stack (or cavalry stack) if 20 archers are all wearing the same banner.  Class balance should be weighted more than banner balance.
